When using this lock please open the offside gate first.

We've noticed that the bottom gate handrails overlap when the lock is filled and pressure is applied to the gates, which means that the towpath side handrail overlaps the end of the handrail on the offside gate trapping it in place and preventing it being opened first.

We will update this notice as soon as we have more information.
