What is the treatment for tmj with closed lock?

Treat fast: Time is of essence. Early treatment and fast treatment is a must. See a TMJ specialist or an oral surgeon asap!

Treatment : Exercise muscle relaxant medication and appliance therapy.

Specialist: I would not try any home remedies or trying to force your jaw open...Closed lock means limited opening, with the mandible not being to accommodate moving down and forward because of a displaced articular disk... Ok, this is the technical description. You should see a specialist who hopefully use some physical therapy and mouthpieces. Can take awhile to "unlock" depending on duration.

Depends: Depends on how recent it is, and how bad are the symptoms. Treatment can range from just observiing (if opening improving and minimal pain), to jaw manipulation (if lock is very recent), to arthroscopic surgery (if other treatment has failed).

See OFP specialist: The Orofacial Pain specialists provide diagnosis and treatment of pain in the head, face and TMJ. They are the experts in TMJ and chronic pain field. Diagnosis is an important step before treatment.
