Can you trade up trade locked skins?

Yes, you can trade up trade-locked skins in CS2 (Counter-Strike 2), but the resulting item will inherit a 7-day trade protection, meaning you can't trade or sell it immediately; the lock applies to the output of the trade-up if the inputs were recently acquired or locked, though all skins in the contract must have matching protection status for the trade to work at all. The key is that if your five input skins are already tradable (no holds), the new knife/glove is instantly tradable, but any recent trades (like those 7-day holds) on inputs will extend the lock on the output.
