The implementations provided are NOT intented for consistency/synchronization purposes. If you need a locking mechanism focused on consistency, consider implementing your mechanism based on more serious tools like https://zookeeper.apache.org/.
There are a couple of locking implementations than can help you to protect against different scenarios:
aiocache.lock.RedLock
aiocache.lock.OptimisticLock
