How can I make the lock screen stay active for longer than 5 seconds?

I'd like to have the lock screen stay active for longer than 5 seconds. Too many times I've not seen a notification come through. I'd like to have it stay on for at least 5 minutes for shutting down. I'm suprised a "lock screen delay" option isn't a general setting available to unjailbreaked phones.

iPhone 5c, iOS 7.1

If you swipe down on the lock screen to view the notifications screen and then swipe it up and out of the way again, then the lock screen will stay on (on the wallpaper view) for about twenty seconds instead of five. At least on iOS 9.3.2 it does. I know that's not what you're asking about and this post is from two years ago, but I discovered this and decided to share it hoping that my discovery can help out someone in the future who's looking to extend the time the lock screen is on for.
