# Updates a template lock.

`PUT /v2.1/accounts/{accountId}/templates/{templateId}/lock`

Updates the lock information for a locked template.

You must include the `X-DocuSign-Edit` header
as described in
[TemplateLocks: create](/docs/esign-rest-api/reference/templates/templatelocks/create/).


Use this method to change the duration
of the lock (`lockDurationInSeconds`)
or the `lockedByApp` string.

The request body is a full `lockRequest` object,
but you only need to specify the
properties that you are updating. For example:

```
{
  "lockDurationInSeconds": "3600",
  "lockedByApp": "My Application"
}
```

## Path parameters

- `accountId` string, required
- `templateId` string, required

## Request body

- LockRequest — This request object contains information about the lock that you want to create or update.
  - `lockDurationInSeconds` string — The number of seconds to lock the envelope for editing. Must be greater than 0 seconds.
  - `lockedByApp` string — A friendly name of the application used to lock the envelope. Will be used in error messages to the user when lock conflicts occur.
