Hi, I have a SharePoint 2016 On-Premise, (V. 16.0.10337.12109). With files not Office, we want to when an user open file SharePoint lock this file for other user edit this file. And when user closes that file, unlock automatic. It's possible?

You can set the library to require check out. When files are checked out, the file is effectively locked until it's checked in. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/set-up-a-library-to-require-check-out-of-files-0c73792b-f727-4e19-a1f9-3173899e695b

    You can automate the checkout and check-in using Power Automate with an on-prem data gateway so that PA can connect.
