I've been watching a lot of footage about standing and turtle leg lock entries in the Gi and otherwise, and no one does it better than Sambo. Judo doesn't allow leg locks or leg grab takedowns, JiuJitsu guys sit to guard or run away for 5 minutes on the feet at a time, so Sambo is the place to look by process of elimination. You can't go to a foot doctor if your hand hurts and expect precise care.
I learned a lot about research & development when I transitioned to MMA from a Judo background. I had to do a lot of frustrating days in the gym in MMA sparring and NoGi to pick up the things which I can translate and the grips and throws which don't or are too high risk et cetera. As the sport progresses, or if you're competing ADCC et cetera, or if you just don't want to lose matches to guys who disengage perceived danger in guard passing and stall on the feet, it will require you to have more entries than just hope the guys presses you in guard passing enough that you can grab a leg.
GUYS WILLING TO FIGHT UGLY/STALLING/DISENGAGING MATCHES WILL DEFEAT SUPERIOR SUBMISSION GRAPPLERS.
At any rate some common principles in the video below you'll see from prolific ankle lockers in JiuJitsu:
Musumeci and Doederlein both overwhelmingly prefer a lapel grip/Fist grip for breaking mechanics. I attended a Doederlein seminar in Brooklyn and he confirmed to me that working with Musumeci is where his ankle lock really began to take shape and got him on the path to where it is now.They both also do not fall back on the ankle/go to their back unless their inside foot is stomping into the hip/joint and they have isolated the foot in the armpit after some initial finagling position to get the foot week(unable to boot/defense). Doederlein has more vertical/facing the ceiling ankle lock finishes and Musumeci if I recall has more belly down/turning away finishes. I've watched every ankle lock finish between the two of them, and this is roughly the major discernible difference other than entry. Musumeci transitions off of the berimbolo and their defense, Doederlein gets there from feeding a lapel from closed guard to maintain control while getting to the shallow/shadow hook and modified 50/50 type position. Doederlein also does better attacking the kneebar from the modified 50/50 than Musumeci does. Musumeci prefers to stay on the ankle or opt for a toe hold.

The other key to Doederlein and Musumeci is that Doederlein uses the threat of the backtake or sweep to continually isolate the foot/ankle for maximal breaking position/isolation, and Musumeci has such a dangerous berimbolo that he's able to pounce on the foot as they have to primarily defend the berimbolo. In Sambo, the foot presents itself off of transitions from the throw/takedown, and guys turning to avoid the pin/turtle. So, the use of transition or multiple dilemmas within the points hierarchy/match ending scenarios is also what can get the foot exposed in a way that a competent competitor normally would not choose.
