It is considered a poor designed to lock records without needs (but I don't know all your needs so you may be right in your decision). You could add a dummy field to your table and place a bit (1) when you read it and reset it to 0 when you have finish. You will then need to read the bit and validate if it is 0 or 1 when you read a record.

My 2 cents are that I prefer a lot validate when needing to update data. Imagine if a user read a record (set the lock byte to 1) and go for lunch. The record will be lock for an hour or so!
