if its just like a lunchbox locker, should be easy enough. you won't be messing with the gear patterns really. basically as long as you make sure to put the shims in the same side and order they came out you will be fine. when i welded my 10 bolt, i just marked where the shims came from, only 1 on each side, and made sure to put the back on that side. i would say a locker would be the same deal since you are not replacing the gear set or the actual carrier that would possibly change how your gears are patterned.
