With .coms and .nets, a status of registrar-lock has no bearing on how a domain is handled after it expires. Status "active" vs. "registrar-lock" just determines whether a domain can be transferred between registrars prior to expiration.
After the expiration date, a domain typically goes into different status classifications until it's finally "released" more than a month later (with most registrars). However, grabbing a desirable domain upon release name is virtually for a beginner working on his or her own. That's where the drop catching services come in handy. Even for a marginal name, if you want it, someone else probably does too.
