Ok, slight change of plan as per option 1. It definitely is much easier 
to lock everything at once and then unlock the code which has passed.
I'm in the process of locking now via the user 'audit'

Once this is done ( about 1 hour), the method above applies to unlock 
the code. All devs will have the ability to 'break a lock'
