Hello Joe, ON a Mac notebook, running Yosemite, you may lock the screen by simply pressing the power button for approximately one second. There is no audio feedback, indicating that the screen has been successfully locked. Please note that pressing the power button for longer than one second will cause the Shutdown prompt to appear.
Press almost any key on the notebook to unlock the screen.
