It's been a long time since I worked with PB, but I have never seen PB explicitely lock a record or even a table without being asked for it.

Actually as far as I remember PB's strategy was optimistic locking (basically: when updating the records make sure the content in the DB is still the same as the one that was initially retrieved, if not throw an error) and it was very hard to actually implement pesimistic locking.
