Unless your form is changing the same rows and order of operations is important (which is probably not the case), there is no need to lock the tables. So if each time the form is submitted it inserts a new row, there is no reason to lock the tables.

Do I have to lock the tables that are being populated? Will a solution queue insert requests or just say I am busy?
