Explanation:
Hola Manuel,
Por lo que dice en el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española la palabra "encolochar" en Nicaragua es sinónimo de "engargolar":

encolochar.
(De colocho).
3. tr. Nic. engargolar.

engargolar.
1. tr. Ajustar las piezas que tienen gárgoles.
2. tr. Méx. Encuadernar un libro pasando una espiral de plástico al través de los agujeros que se han hecho a lo largo de uno de los bordes.

Por otra parte, el Diccionario Simon & Schuster's da estas opciones para engargolar:
