# GET /{accountId}/vaults/{vaultName}/lock-policy

`GET /{accountId}/vaults/{vaultName}/lock-policy`

This operation retrieves the following attributes from the `lock-policy` subresource set on the specified vault:

*   The vault lock policy set on the vault.
    
*   The state of the vault lock, which is either `InProgess` or `Locked`.
    
*   When the lock ID expires. The lock ID is used to complete the vault locking process.
    
*   When the vault lock was initiated and put into the `InProgress` state.
    

A vault lock is put into the `InProgress` state by calling InitiateVaultLock. A vault lock is put into the `Locked` state by calling CompleteVaultLock. You can abort the vault locking process by calling AbortVaultLock. For more information about the vault locking process, [Amazon Glacier Vault Lock](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/vault-lock.html).

If there is no vault lock policy set on the vault, the operation returns a `404 Not found` error. For more information about vault lock policies, [Amazon Glacier Access Control with Vault Lock Policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/vault-lock-policy.html).
