If you can't get pgwatch2
Cron job that runs every hour:
grep -E "lock" (or whatever search term) postgresql.log > lock_history.txt
Or something to that effect, not as good as the tool obviously, but a workingperson's solution.

PostgreSQL doesn't keep historical information on these things.
You need a monitoring tool like pgwatch2 that takes regular snapshots of these data and allows you to access this information.
