Basically the locks and latches plugin is not usable within our company, because we would always have to ask an administrator to define a new lock.
Someone allowed to create a new job, should also be allowed to create a new lock. This also makes sense, because the creation of a lock is less critical then actually using the lock. By using a lock at the wrong position, one would block foreign jobs (which is specially critical in a secured and shared environment).
The Hudson locks and latches plugin is not distributed by the Jenkins update center. It was proposed for deprecation in 2015 and has known blocking issues. It prevents the saving of Jenkins job configurations in Jenkins 2.277.1 and later.
If someone adopted the plugin, updated it to work with Jenkins 2.277.1 and later, and released a new version, then this issue report could be reopened.
