Does .Value copy the Locked cell value?

I have the below code in one of my Macros:

ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(WsNameTo).Range("ag35:ai53").Value = wb.Worksheets(WsNameFrom).Range("e7:g25").Value

Every time I run my macro, the range of cells being copied into picks up the Locked attribute, which then interferes the next time I try to run the macro since the worksheet is protected and that range is now locked, causing an error. Is the .Value picking up the Locked Property or is something else in my code possibly causing the issue? If .Value is picking up the Locked property, is there another method to get the value of the cells without locking it?

that's what I thought. just need to weed through the code I guess to see where it's getting locked again.

hmmm. I believe I found the culprit. the .Clear method did more than I thought it did. I should have used .ClearContents, which works when running the macro multiple times.
