If a lock is currently unavailable because it is being used by another thread then a thread will block (i.e. wait) until the lock becomes available again. However you can use the tryLock() method which does not wait if the lock is unavailable. Instead it returns true if the lock is acquired (and proceeds accordingly) or false otherwise.
