Lockdown [BB332]

LOCK What related set can be placed outside these clusters below, so creating eight common words and phrases?

Imagine the set to be synonyms of steal, so seeing (PANDTU), say, becoming NI(PANDTU)CK, or (THYRI) going in FILCH to make FILTYH RICH. As in both these examples, any phrase answer has its gaps sealed.

(TTIN)
(VATEPER)
(ULDRO)
(WDERMON)
(LICA)
(UFF)
(CKLE)
(ARP)

Care to suggest another set in ‘lockdown’ mode?

SOLUTION NEXT WEEK
BB331 SOLUTION: One/slot (won/lost), raw/piece (war/peace), board/part (bored/rapt), surf/stream (serf/master), berth/hated (birth/death), brake/rapier (break/repair), chased/umpire (chaste/impure), guise/slag (guys/gals), lights/complement (slight/compliment)

Interestingly, my solution for last week's no. 9 was SERIF/SANSERIF from FIRES/FAIRNESS.

And as a minor point, 1 is not considered prime...

Thanks Bon for the maths note. Lily would be ashamed.

8. S (6)?

I think that #8 might be C (6) and the 2 words describe a person who uses a transport co-op.
