You have not indicated which desktop environment you are using. Usually screen locking is managed by the desktop software.

For KDE, I go to

System Settings → Workspace Behavior

and then I click on the “Screen Locking” tab (in the left column) to find the settings.

Hi,
The screen locking is separate from power management. For that in System Settings go to “hardware” - “power management”. That’s all quite self explaining and you have to set it up according to your liking.
