That’s a decent alternative, but it’s got two problems that make it a worse option:
First, it’s hard to do without looking, like if it’s in your pocket. Also, if someone is watching you, or trying to compel you to unlock your phone, they’ll have a chance to stop you if they’re paying attention.
Second, that doesn’t actually work for me on my version of Android. xD
On Android, you just have to hold down the power button for 1 second and tap Lockdown.

At least on samsung, its a setting you have to enable - “Show Lockdown option” under “Secure lock settings”
Once enabled, it shows up in the power off menu.
