  2. Panama Canal locks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Canal_locks

    Each gate has two leaves, 65 ft (19.81 m) wide, which close to a "V" shape with the point upstream. This arrangement has the effect that the force of water from the higher side pushes the ends of the gates together firmly. The gates can be opened only when, in the operating cycle, the water level on both sides is equal. [8]

A lock chamber separated from the rest of the canal by an upper pair and a lower pair of mitre gates.The gates in each pair close against each other at an 18° angle to approximate an arch against the water pressure on the "upstream" side of the gates when the water level on the "downstream" side is lower.

  6. Caisson (lock gate) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caisson_(lock_gate)

    Most locks are closed by chevron or mitre gates rather than by caissons. These are pairs of hinged gates that form a "V" shape, with the deeper water outside the V. Water pressure thus holds them closed. These gates can be opened and closed quickly, so they are used for canal locks, to change levels, and also for most freight docks.

  7. Rotary combination lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_combination_lock

    Many combination locks have three wheels, but the lock may be equipped with additional wheels, each with a drive pin and fly, in a similar manner. The number of wheels in the mechanism determines the number of specific dial positions that must be entered to open the lock, so a three-sequence combination is required for a three-wheel lock.

  8. Flash lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_lock

    Flash locks of this type have been documented in China since at least the 1st century BCE and on the Thames since at least 1295. [5] [6] Flash locks were commonly built into small dams or weirs where a head of water was used for powering a mill. The lock allowed boats to pass the weir while still allowing the mill to operate when the gate was ...

  9. Caisson lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caisson_lock

    The caisson lock is a type of canal lock in which a narrowboat is floated into a sealed watertight box and raised or lowered between two different canal water levels. It was invented in the late 18th century as a solution to the problem posed by the excessive demand for water when conventional locks were used to raise and lower canal boats ...
