Actually I tried restarting both nfslock(on clients and server) and 
nfs(on server) but it didn't help.
Is my solution with mounting it nolock bad?

I was also thinking about mounting the nfs shares as soft, is this a 
good idea? Could it help me? And also, what's the difference between 
soft and intr?
Read the manual and I thought they were pretty similiar.
