# locks-for-coldkey (/docs/query/locks-for-coldkey)

**Category:** Locks & conviction

## Parameters [#parameters]

| Parameter      | Type   | Description                  |
| -------------- | ------ | ---------------------------- |
| `coldkey_ss58` | string | Coldkey whose locks to list. |

## CLI [#cli]

```bash
btcli query locks-for-coldkey --coldkey <ss58|name> --json
```

## Python [#python]

Namespace method (autocomplete, signature help):

```python
import bittensor as bt

sub = bt.Subtensor()
result = sub.locks.locks_for_coldkey(coldkey_ss58="5F...")
```

Or dispatch by name, as an agent would:

```python
result = sub.read("locks_for_coldkey", coldkey_ss58="5F...")
```

Async is the same surface awaited: `async with bt.Subtensor() as client:`.
