You have to lift the lock and click it the very moment it reaches the top. It is indeed very hard and much more difficult if you're doing a Hard Lock. (I would advise against trying to pick a hard lock with little experience) You need to think things through a little more before you do something you regret.

e.g losing all your picks in a futile attempt to unlock a Hard Lock as a novice.
