I need help on how to discuss my daughter locking grandkids in their bedrooms during nap time.

No, locking children in rooms is a red flag.
Baby gates, or you can get taller gates (I have one for my huge dog)
Locking children in is emotionally not ok. Ever

I have childproof gates on the bedrooms where my granddaughters have naps when I am looking after them. I would never forgive myself if they came out of the bedroom and either hurt themselves in the bathroom or fell down the stairs. They are both happy for me to fasten them in and tell me night night grandma see you later.

That’s the point being made. Children’s safety gates - good, sensible, safe
Locking bedroom doors - not good, not safe, not sensible

I agree Iam64 especially about the emotional effect on a child.
