There's no searching going on here. You create a lock instance, passing two
positional arguments, which Django interprets as the first fields, ID and
name.
That's why you should never use positional arguments when instantiating -
always do it via keyword arguments:
lock = Lock(name=name, info=info)
Note that as I say, you're not actually checking if there's a lock with
that name already. You probably want to actually do that.
