Lock screens are quite difficult to work with since the official features Android offers for apps to control the lock screens are very limited and don't work very reliable.
I recommend to use the system settings in Security->'Automatically lock in' ... and 'Power button instantly locks' when possible.

Side note 1: Lightning Launcher allows full control through the Locale API, and therefore by Automagic. That includes Lock screen.
Side note 2: Lightning Launcher doesn't come with a preconfigured lock screen, but provides the component, including an unlocker, to build one yourself.

Thank you guys,
For now I don't like to change my launcher. I use an external lock screen and my idea was to set it with a short delay from the screen off (this is possible) . At that moment I need auto magic to freeze (to sleep) that lockscreen app for the time I like and then re enable it. But how can I freeze an app and start it again after a certain time?
Thank you

I almost done what I need, the only problem I have is that when I re-enable the lockscreen app (with screen off) , tha app started but the screen it's not locked.

I if run the flow manually with the screen on, it works perfectly but when the screen is off the locker stays in background and don't perform any lock.

Maybe because the lock app has itself a trigger (screen off) wich never starts because I run it with the screen already off.

I will think about it .....
