If you use a non-approved lock and they decide to cut them to open the luggage they will not place your luggage onto the plane afterwards since unlocked bags will not be placed onto the plane.

Yes they will. Well, they should anyway. The SOP is to make "a reasonable effort" to re-secure the bag and let it continue on it's way. Many airports have zip ties specifically for that purpose. Unless the bag contains a very serious prohibited item then it should make it's way with you.
