High Number of lock requests

We're running SQL2K over 2K server, there server just has one main database
besides the system' ones for our administration system
Recently we got a tool for monitoring the server and it's registered up to
5.500.000 lock requests/min, my point is, is that normal?It really depends on what you are doing but it sounds like you have a lot of
scans happening. Basically sounds like you are missing proper indexes and
reading too many rows when you select or modify.

I had a look at some of the tables and as you said it seems the developers
did not index the tables properly; I just set a couple of indexes and the
reads went down straight away.
Thanks
