Thread Safe Properties in C#

I am trying to create thread safe properties in C# and I want to make sure that I am on the correct path - here is what I have done -

private readonly object AvgBuyPriceLocker = new object();
private double _AvgBuyPrice;
private double AvgBuyPrice 
{
    get
    {
        lock (AvgBuyPriceLocker)
        {
            return _AvgBuyPrice;
        }
    }
    set
    {
        lock (AvgBuyPriceLocker)
        {
            _AvgBuyPrice = value;
        }
    }
}

Reading this posting, it would seem as if this isn't the correct way of doing it -

C# thread safety with get/set

however, this article seems to suggest otherwise,

Does anybody have a more definitive answer?

Edit:

The reason that I want to do the Getter/Setter for this property is b/c I actually want it to fire an event when it is set - so the code would actually be like this -

public class PLTracker
{

    public PLEvents Events;

    private readonly object AvgBuyPriceLocker = new object();
    private double _AvgBuyPrice;
    private double AvgBuyPrice 
    {
        get
        {
            lock (AvgBuyPriceLocker)
            {
                return _AvgBuyPrice;
            }
        }
        set
        {
            lock (AvgBuyPriceLocker)
            {
                Events.AvgBuyPriceUpdate(value);
                _AvgBuyPrice = value;
            }
        }
    }
}

public class PLEvents
{
    public delegate void PLUpdateHandler(double Update);
    public event PLUpdateHandler AvgBuyPriceUpdateListener;

    public void AvgBuyPriceUpdate(double AvgBuyPrice)
    {
        lock (this)
        {
            try
            {
                if (AvgBuyPriceUpdateListener!= null)
