Named locker example. Not to use same lock object for all locking constructs, because sometimes it will lock different procedures in same code block. For example get/set cache with cache key argument.

NamedLocker.cs

    public class NamedLocker
    {
        private readonly ConcurrentDictionary<string, object> _lockDict = new ConcurrentDictionary<string, object>();

        // Get a lock for use with a lock(){} block
        public object GetLock(string name)
        {
            return _lockDict.GetOrAdd(name, s => new object());
        }

        // Run a short lock inline using a lambda
        public TResult RunWithLock<TResult>(string name, Func<TResult> body)
        {
            lock (_lockDict.GetOrAdd(name, s => new object()))
                return body();
        }

        // Run a short lock inline using a lambda void
        public void RunWithLock(string name, Action body)
        {
            lock (_lockDict.GetOrAdd(name, s => new object()))
                body();
        }

        // Remove an old lock object that is no longer needed
        public void RemoveLock(string name)
        {
            object o;
            _lockDict.TryRemove(name, out o);
        }
    }
