Is there a way to unlock bootloader and relock it if I'm not that satisfied with the ROMs. What I mean with relocking is like it's back to stock bootloader. Thanks!

If you want to install a kernel like lupus, first you need to unlock your bootloader. Use this tool to unlock it.

The risk of brick your device, but a lot of people already unlocked their bootloaders without any problems, your DRM will be permanently deleted, but believe me you can get more from your phone when the bootloader is unlocked, really worth it.

And you loose your warranty
Drm won't be lost if you unlock using testpoint method.

First check the bootloader status.whether its unlocked or not.
If its already unlocked then you can flash any custom kernel.If not you have to unlock BL first.Its not harmful but it will avoid your phone warranty.Try to use SE web site to unlock BL.Its the safest way..
After unlocking BT u can flash kernels anytime using Flash tool™..
Re:How to install a kernel
To install a custom kernel,you have to unlock your bootloader and there are two ways of doing it:
1.Use the official sony method...
head to unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and follow the procedure there..
by doing so you lose your DRM keys which means services like track id wont work anymore...
2.use a testpoint method which is a bit complicated but you retain your DRM keys
for the testpoint method check this out

Bootloader unlocking should be done carefully,you might brick your phone if you are not careful..
after the unlock is complete you can use flashtool to flash a custom kernel in fastboot mode..

If you are using any FTF file in relocking your bootloader it will fail because all Sony phones 2013+ don't need the FTF file to relock the bootloader.... Another thing that you have to be on a pure stock rom to make successfully bootloader lock.... Also be sure that you have the latest FlashTool version...
Then see this post it will help you in relocking your bootloader successfully: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45653511#post45653511
I hope that i had helped you
If there is anything just ask me and i will answer you
