If you want to lock your screen after some time, you can use xautolock

exec --no-startup-id xautolock -time 4 -locker "i3lock-wrapper -l"

And I create a mode to handle lock, suspend, hibernate, reboot and poweroff

set $Locker i3lock-wrapper -l && sleep 1

set $mode_system System (l) lock, (e) logout, (s) suspend, (h) hibernate, (r) reboot, (Shift+s) shutdown
mode "$mode_system" {
    bindsym l exec --no-startup-id $Locker, mode "default"
    bindsym e exec --no-startup-id i3-msg exit, mode "default"
    bindsym s exec --no-startup-id $Locker && systemctl suspend, mode "default"
    bindsym h exec --no-startup-id $Locker && systemctl hibernate, mode "default"
    bindsym r exec --no-startup-id systemctl reboot, mode "default"
    bindsym Shift+s exec --no-startup-id  systemctl poweroff -i, mode "default"

    # back to normal: Enter or Escape
    bindsym Return mode "default"
    bindsym Escape mode "default"
}

bindsym $mod+Delete mode "$mode_system"

If you mean lock and suspend when closing laptop lid, you can check this repo and this post

I use these to lock, not sure if it's a good method.

# lock screen
bindsym $mod+Delete exec --no-startup-id "i3lock -c 000000"
# lock screen and suspend
bindsym $mod+End exec --no-startup-id "i3lock -c 000000 && systemctl suspend"
# lock and hibernate
bindsym $mod+Insert exec --no-startup-id "i3lock -c 000000 && systemctl hibernate"

Create a file /etc/systemd/system/sleep.target.wants/screenlock.service which contains:

[Unit]
Description=Starts i3lock at suspend time
Before=sleep.target

[Service]
User=<YOURUSERNAME>
Type=forking
Environment=DISPLAY=:0
ExecStartPre=
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/lockandblur.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=sleep.target

/usr/local/bin/lockandblur.sh should be exchanged by whatever you want to do, a simple i3lock would also succeed (in my case this is a script which takes a screenshot, blurs it using image magick and then uses it as lockscreen).
