See:

In particular, note that you can mark particular files (or via auto-props, particular file patterns, such as .docx files) as requiring locks, which means that they're read-only until you request a lock.

When someone requests a lock, it will check with the server that nobody else has the lock yet, so it doesn't matter if their version isn't up to date at the time.

It's not foolproof, of course -- someone could set their local file back to read-write and modify it anyway. But then they'll get a conflict when they try to commit, so they should quickly learn to not do that.
