Lukustatud

Lukustatud is an Estonian adjective meaning “locked” or “secured by a lock.” It is derived from the verb lukustama (to lock) and the noun lukk (lock). The form lukustatud is used as a past participle and can function either as an attributive modifier or as a predicative adjective, describing a state of being restricted or secured.

In everyday language, lukustatud is commonly applied to physical items such as doors, boxes, or containers, as in a door or a bag that cannot be opened without a key. It is also widely used in digital and administrative contexts to indicate restricted access, for example lukustatud fail (locked file), lukustatud konto (locked account), or lukustatud seade (locked device). In computing interfaces, the term conveys that an item requires a specific action (unlocking) to gain access.

Grammatically, lukustatud agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number, and is typically accompanied by related forms such as lukustama (to lock) and lukustamine (locking). It is a standard term in Estonian-language instructions, user interfaces, and documentation dealing with security, access control, and physical or digital protection.

Lukustatud is not a proper noun and does not designate a specific place or person. Its usage is generic and context-dependent, reflecting the state of being secured or inaccessible until unlocked.
