remove all files with same extension?

Hi all,
can anyone tell me how to rm all files in my directory structure with the .lck extension? Easy enough in the current directory... rm -f *.lck but i have lots of subdirectories I want them removed from too.
I'd have thought the recursive flag rm -rf *.lck would have done it?
Does it matter that they are hidden files? (eg: .index.html.lck

Thanks

$ find . -name *.lck -exec file {} \; -exec rm -i {} \;
