This may seem like a silly question... but can a locked tree file be copied to a new name and be opened that way? That is, are the lock status tracking external to the tree & file system?
(By the way Boris, do you have automatical backups enabled? If so, you could always open the most recent of those.)

Yes and no. If you copy a tree, i.e. the folder that has all DB files in
it, and put it in a place where Gramps can still find it, it will still
be locked, because the lock file is in that folder, so that will be
copied too, and Gramps will think that the copy is locked.
If you dare to experiment, you can try this, and remove the lock file
from the copy. If you do, I recommend that you also change the content
of the file name.txt, which controls the name that you see for this tree.
There is no guarantee, but messing with the copy is safer than with the
original, so if you want, you can try.
Regards,
Enno

In reply to this post by GRAMPS - User mailing list
No unfortunately I don't but IF I can retore this Tree, then I will ensure that auto backup is
enabled.
The most recent backup is atleast 10 hours of intensive work behind so I would much prefer
to have this unlocked.
Thanks,
Boris

Boris,
After the replies from Nick & Enno and reading the associated bug report. I suggest an extra level of care when trying to recover the locked Tree.
Can you use the OS to copy the Tree folder to a USB Thumbdrive and experiment with that copied to a fresh install of Gramps using a separate PC? Gramps updates the Tree every time you open the files. So you could be moving further away from success with every failed attempt. The bug report mentioned other Trees being affected by attempts too.
Copy the USB Thumbdrive to the alternate PC & unmount the USB. Rename the Lock file there and see if the Tree can be opened if it's missing.
After a few failed approaches, flush that folder, restore from the USB and try a different approach. Once you have success (if it wasn't after a fresh restore) flush again, restore and repeat the successful approach. This way you'll have the fewest interventions between the locked & fixed Tree.

I been using Gramps for about 9-10 years. For the
first 5 I didn't know Gramps had a way to unlock a locked file.
I used Ubuntu and LinuxMint during that time and I would just
delete the lock file. Only reason I stopped doing it was the
official method seemed a bit faster. I probably did that 2 or 3
times a year. In fact I was under the assumption that all the
official method did was delete that lock file.

Yes PROBLEM SOLVED.

Thanks to those who provided input and support.
