Well of course it depends on what is going on in the locked code (if you're doing a big job then it might take a while longer than 30 seconds). You should check though for deadlocks if it works "sometimes" (i.e trying to obtain this lock, which is owned by a process trying to obtain a lock you hav), if you are nesting locks, make sure you do it in the same order everywhere i.e always lock x then y, never y then x, or you are asking for trouble. Lock as little code as possible, it'll be easier to debug and faster to run.
