There may have a been a bit of symbolism when Weiss "locked" the door to her father's office. Remember how Ironwood told her she'd always have a place with him. Implying that if she ever wanted to run away from Jacques, that she could trust him the way Winter trusts Ironwood. But when she sealed that door I think it was visual symbolism.

1) that Ironwood and Jacques' argument almost a nod at them fighting over Weiss' soul "Atlas and Duty and Order or Wealth and Pride and Cold Logic.

2) She may have heard Ironwood's growing instability and decided he was no better to be around that her father

3) By sealing them in the same room as they argued it's almost like "you two deserve each other because you're both stubborn and always force your ideal on others".

4) If we take a step back and think about how Ironwood like to one-up people, and that both times he's come to their home he was in an argument with Jacques, maybe Weiss sees Ironwood telling her she could come to him for help as a gesture partially done in spite of Jacques. Jacques even said Ironwood "stole" Winter.

In any case, I want Ironwood to get back on the good foot. Especially if Salem is planning to B-line to Atlas after Haven. Can't have him unstable when that goes down. But then again, Atlas' relic will likely be the hardest to get. And Salem will likely want to stockpile allies, power, and all the other relics to make the Atlas Invasion go that much smoother.
