Time lock

A Time-Lock was a mechanism whereby an event or series of events was rendered unreachable by time travel. In ancient times, the Time Lords used time locks to hide their secrets and misdeeds. (PROSE: Shada)

Much later, the Time War was placed in a time-lock, which prevented entry into the Time War through the time vortex. This meant that the Time War's events were not erased from history; they could still be referenced by those who knew of the destruction of the Daleks and the Time Lords. The Doctor, however, would not be able to reach the Time War through time travel. Any entry into the events of the Time War would be a change in the timeline, made impossible by the time-lock.

By Time Lords
When the Doctor's TARDIS and the Master's TARDIS had each landed inside of the other, the two Time Lords each put a time lock on the other's TARDIS to prevent escape. (TV: The Time Monster)

When Skagra used The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey to access Shada, Romana hypothesised that they were passing through a time lock. (PROSE: Shada)

When the Doctor used the Moment at the end of Last Great Time War, the entire war was time-locked. (COMIC: Don't Step on the Grass) Davros suggested once that Emperors and Time Lords had attempted to breach a time-lock, but failed. Dalek Caan overcame the lock on the Time War after making an emergency temporal shift and travelled back to the Gates of Elysium to save Davros. The process flooded Caan's mind with total knowledge of the past, present and future, driving him insane. (TV: The Stolen Earth) The only other things capable of breaching the time lock were those that were already in place, like the signal that had been transmitted back through time into the Master's mind and, on at least one occasion, very small objects, such as the White-Point Star diamond sent by Rassilon to follow the signal in the Master's head.

The Doctor's TARDIS possessed a time-lock; its exact function is unknown. (GAME: TARDIS)

By Torchwood
Another sort of time-lock, created by Torchwood 3's resident genius Toshiko Sato, was designed to freeze the Torchwood 3 Hub in a bubble in time. It was at the same time impenetrable but inescapable. The time-lock was either shut down or damaged when a Dalek trapped at the edge of the bubble was blown up by the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor. (TV: Journey's End)

By the Weeping Angels
Due to the fact that they kept zapping people back in time and feeding on their time energy, the Weeping Angels created time distortions around Manhatten, which acted just like a Time Lock since it made it impossible for the Doctor to rescue Amy Pond and Rory Williams. Although this has never actually been stated to be a Time Lock, it's function is roughly the same since the Doctor's TARDIS could not land in Manhatten without destroying the city. However this Time Lock was different from the one surrounding the Time War; time travelling literally couldn't take a person to the Time War (apart from Emergency temporal shift as displayed by Dalek Caan) but it could take them to Manhatten but would result in the destruction of the city in the process. However a Vortex manipulator could take a person through it safely "like a motorbike through traffic" according to River Song. (TV: The Angels Take Manhattan)
