In prisons, the guests are under 'lock down' if they are all locked in their cells, which would be done normally at night, but also if a non-standard situation occurred during the day. So in a sense, you would lock something down to gain control of a situation.
Consider a child gets lost in a store, and the parents notify security. They might lock down the store until the child and parents are reunited.
