As long we have only one user of that pattern I'd keep it as is.
We have in UBI already a gazillion helper functions.

A single lock/unlock place is nice but in this case the whole logic fits
into a single page on screen. "do_this" and "do_that" variables don't make
the code more readable IMHO.
But as with all nitpicks it is a matter of taste and we could waste multiple
days on such things.
