A Lock is two gates in a canal a boat length apart. Traditionally each gate consisted of two half gates that met in the middle of the canal. Locks enable boats to climb or descend hills. If a boat is going downhill then both gates are locked and the space between them filled with water via a sluice or small tunnel. The upstream gate can now be opened to let the boat glide into the space between the two gates. The first gate is then closed again. Now the water can be drained from the space between the gates via a second sluice on the downstream gate. The boat will sink as the water empties. When the water reaches the level on the downstream side then the downstream gate can be opened for the boat to re-emerge. Job done.
