Bootloader Relock Issue?

Hi I've read some people have problem in the Bootloader Relock procedure. Some people said that when they relock their booloader (Maybe for re-selling purposes) after relock the device won't boot or bricked. Is this true for all units? Because here I found someone who relocks his bootloader and looks fine:

Can someone confirm? I also want to try to relock my bootloader but I'm worried about the issue.

If it's still locked, do you mind keeping it that way for just a little bit? It's possible we can figure out how to re-lock if we can get a bootloader dump. It's also possible that unlocking your bootloader will report to ASUS that it's been unlocked and it will void the warranty even if we can figure out how to lock it back up.
Maybe try this tool: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.partitions
And then report to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/ze600kl-official-bootloader-unlock-t3273263

For root, you need to unlock bootloader first, and even the official unlock method page says the warranty is void once you unlock, then how can you say that?

Official , then can't get warranty

It is mentioned in the unofficial guide that rooting will void the guarantee.

With unofficial method you can always relock the bootloader to retain warranty.

Hi , do you know about the OTA sttus after TWRP and Magisk.
The unofficial TWRP says OTA is supported (20180518 build) but do we need full rom or regular OTA, or it is just in theory for now (as no new OTAs released).
Can you comment ( if you can ) about this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76570095&postcount=28, I have mentioned the steps which I used in previous devices but not sure about Asus.

if eneble bootloder then can i clame warenty.
