If you mean the sound clicked, yes

Click! The lock on the door snapped open. Sweat dripped from Staci's face and she turned the doorknob.

The lock clicked open and Staci slowly turned the doorknob.

Which of these can you "hear" when you imagine it. That would be Click! in the first sentence. Onomatopoeias cannot have a suffix or prefix on them. So Click is the answer.

click would just be an onomatopoeia as it is a sound. clicked is say you clicked on something or something clicked

Click says the noise part, which would qualify it as onomatopoeia.
Example: "The clicks of the keys intensify as the fingers dance across the keys

Clicked is the verb, which doesn't mean the sound.
Example: "I clicked the computer mouse to gain access to the Web."

"clicked" is an onomatopeia just like its present form "click" because its a word formed from the immitation of the sound of something...that clicks... just like "buzz" or "hizzed".

click would be onomatopoeia because it's a noise. (ex: crash, bang, boom, swish)
