If your phone supports it `fastboot flashing unlock` is the simple and straight forward way of unlocking your bootloader, that's not using a random binary.
While LineageOS doesn't advertise or provide support for re-locking, GrapheneOS explicitly does and I can highly suggest it over the rest of the AOSP-based projects if your goal is maintaining high security on a supported device.
- josephcsible 4y agoGrapheneOS explicitly doesn't support devices that the manufacturer no longer supports, because proprietary drivers and firmware have security holes too, and they're powerless to update them.

GrapheneOS supports the Pixel 3 and 3 XL, which have been out of support from Google for months now. While this arrangement will not last forever, it disproves your claim.
- josephcsible 4y agoTrue, they provide a few months of "extended support releases as a stopgap for users to transition". My point is that they're not at all like LineageOS, which tries to keep old devices working indefinitely.
- ThePowerOfFuet 4y agoInability to relock the device would be a dealbreaker for me. GrapheneOS has worked quite well for me, and as someone who used nothing but iOS since 2007 until this year, that says a lot.
- hedora 4y agoYeah, but current pixels (all they support) have a reasonable support lifetime.
