Appending `.lock` seems fine to me (note the period rather than hyphen). I
don't find it ugly, instead explanatory! If users do see these file names,
then it is clearer that they are lock files. There is precedent for use of
this file extension[0], and there's also lots of precedent for stacking
file extensions.
I propose keeping the traditional `.#` prefix but adding a `.lock` suffix.
