She locked the door in a panic because it was about to open and she was standing right outside it with a briefcase and her weapon. Anyone who looked at her would be able to tell that she was sneaking out, and it is technically Jacques right to ground his daughter for causing such a scene at the party and endangering guests.

Ironwood may have stopped the boarbatusk from hurting anyone and agreed that she was making sense, but he's not about to antagonise Jacques so much by pretty much absconding with Weiss in such a situation, especially since Jacques could twist the story to paint himself as a victim and use it to cast doubt on Ironwood's actions in the past - such as the dust embargo which hurts the Schnee family profits. If he paints it right, it would look like Ironwood is purposefully weakening the Schnee name.

Weiss couldn't afford to be caught their, so she locked the door so she wouldn't be. She locked it so she could escape the manor with no one the wiser till morning. Not because she thinks Ironwood and Jacques deserve each other.
