Root HTC Desire 510- can I unlock bootloader, root, then lock it again?

A

AC Question

I'm just interested in rooting my HTC Desire 510 to use Xmod and such game assistant tools. I have no interest in the features obtained from unlocking bootloader. I tried rooting with Kingoroot, but it doesn't work, and I found that with HTC phones, i gotta unlock the bootloader first. I really don't want to, so can I unlock it, root my HTC with kingoroot, then lock it back? (Kingoroot has a bootlaoder unclock/lock tool)
I want to lock it to avoid screwing my phone as I have NO experience or interest in bootlaoder flashing customs roms etc.
Sorry about newbie question.
