What is the Difference between synchronizer and lockup latch?
A Synchronizer handles situations where data needs to move from faster
clock domain to slower clock domain or vice-versa,whereas lockup latch doesn't
allow data to cross between two clock domains.
Lockup latch is used to add a half cycle to avoid setup/hold issues between two flops.

Lock-up latches are used to allow scan chains to cross the clock
domains. They mitigate the skew between two clock domains to ensure data is
shifted reliably on the scan chain.
