I tried your suggestion but with no avail.

I tested it with xautolock but no luck either. I get the same error 
about screensaver/locker not installed. After a while my screen gets 
black without locking. Moving the mouse returns the display. As I 
understood xdg-utils is installed along the lxqt desktop, but I wonder 
why the "Lock screen" button is not working therefore. Installing 
xautolock in my home profile did also not resolve my problem.

Best,
