Here is an article on locking by Ben Forta:

Here is my personal philosophy:
1) If you TYPE Session, Application, or Server, you dang well better have a
CFLOCK around it.
2) If you access the file system, use a read lock to read the file and use a
exclusive lock to write/append the file. Name the lock after the file name.
3) Operations that use files, like Verity stuff, should be locked. For
example, I use a read lock named Search on my CFSEARCH tags, and I use an
exclusive lock with the same name when I update/optimize my collection.
That's basically it.
