Some do, some don't… 
In some cases the "registry lock" is actually just a comment in a zone file, 
saying something along  the lines of:
; -------- WARNING ---------
; Don't change this!
; Call Warren at +1-xxx-xxx-xxxx before making any changes.
; -------- WARNING -------

In a number of cases registries don't "officially" support locks, but have been 
willing to do something unusual for a beer / friend.
