If you are absolutely sure no people are working on the repository at 2am, 
you could consider removing all locks at 1:55 or even in the same cron 
script before the build starts. But be aware of the problems when someone 
eventually decides that 2:00 am is a perfectly sound time to checkin new 
sources... (taking into account timezone shifts and the like).
