You can set the BroadcastReceiver to listen to the alarm event. Upon receiving the relevant action you can stop you lock screen application.

Sample code will look like this,

private BroadcastReceiver broadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() 
{
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) 
    {
          String action = intent.getAction();
          if (action.equals("com.android.deskclock.ALARM_ALERT") || 
              action.equals("com.android.deskclock.ALARM_SNOOZE") || 
              action.equals("com.android.deskclock.ALARM_DISMISS") || 
              action.equals("com.android.deskclock.ALARM_DONE")) 
          {
              // Stop the screen lock application here...
          }
    }
};
