Keyword as column name

I have a few tables migrated from PostgreSQL which have "lock" keyword as column name. In order to avoid problems I want to change the column names. In PostgreSQL this is done like this:

ALTER TABLE table_name
RENAME COLUMN "lock" TO is_locked;

Can you help me do this in MySQL?

ALTER TABLE table_name
CHANGE COLUMN lock is_locked character varying(3);

It doesn't work like this. I've also tried surrounding lock keyword with ' or ".
