deadlock

I've got two database servers, (1) production (2) test

on the production database I get frequent deadlocks and I'm trying to find out what is causing it.

I take a backup of the database in production and restore it in test and when I perform the exact same scenario that yields deadlocks on the production server I am unable to reproduce in test.

any ideas/tips/hints would be much appreciated.
