May be some time in the future, yes. But as it stands, I'm afraid the answer is no. This feature is currently available only to e-filed returns. And you can't relock an unlocked return.

The program will automatically lock the return after you e-file the main form. Extensions and paper filed returns can't be locked at this time.

Edit: You can't relock an unlocked return per se. But you did have an option to create a locked copy of the return when you unlocked it; if you didn't use that option, your return is forever unlocked - probably until you use it to file an amended return.
