Locking tuners have a mechanism which locks the string in place. This eliminates the need to wind the string around the post, reduces tuning problems and speeds up restringing.
There are two types of locking tuners, front-locking and rear-locking. Rear-locking are easier to use than front-locking but are not available with height adjustable posts.

REPLACING CLASSICAL GUITAR TUNERS
It's unlikely you will find an exact replacement set for most guitars, especially for older guitars. In this case just choose a set which looks like it will suit the guitar and cover the original screw holes.
Most classical guitar tuners use a standard 35mm (1-3/8") roller spacing centre-to-centre. Some guitars use other spacings. If your guitar has a different spacing you will need to use single tuners, or have a set custom made.
The screw holes often will not line up. If this is the case you can usually drill new holes without any issues. If a hole overlaps but doesn't line up with the new set you will need to fill it and drill a new hole in the correct place.
