Preliminary check of the project as per the client's TM

Question

I have some segments that were approved by the client previously and they should be maintained unaltered throughout all the upcoming projects. How could I cope with this consistency? My idea was to make a separate TM only for the approved segments. Is it possible to lock them or something in order to identify them immediately in the forthcoming projects and avoid translating them again? Or probably there is some tool to activate during the review stage? What about a 100% match TM only for those segments?

 I&rsquo;d lock the segments with a 100 % match. To do so, please tick both Lock 100% matches and Lock context matches check boxes in Project Settings > Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Batch Processing > Pre-translate Files . 
 Run the Pre-translate task to check if it works. 
 Also I&rsquo;d create a project template for this particular client with both Lock 100% matches and Lock context matches check boxes ticked:

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio
