extent locks

hi,
Im getting exclusive locks on my table and ext is the resource locked......
.
can anyone explain me..why do we get ext locks on tables..
regardsjust means SQL server has identified a group of 8 pages(extent) for update i
nsert(most likely upadte and insert), create or drop destined for an exclusi
ve lock. More efficient than locking an individual page of a contiguous set
of 8 pages.|||They are most likely Intent locks and essentially help to prevent things
like deadlocks.
