Locking the file while writing in PowerShell

I have a requirement where one process continuously writes to the files in a particular folder. At the same time an another script moves the files from that folder to another folder. But files must not be moved while the first process is in the middle of writing to them. Is there any process/function in PowerShell which can fulfill this requirement?

In Powershell the syntax is like this:

$path = "C:\file.txt"
$mode = "Open"
$access = "Read"
$share = "None"

$file = [System.IO.File]::Open($path, $mode, $access, $share)
$file.close()

There is more information available on this Class at the following URL:
