There's no need to be like that! I have used electric locks many times. However, I have never had cause to hit the red button so how am I expected to know what happens when you do? > Also you cannot open both >paddles fully at the start, you pick which one you want to open first - it >goes half way up, then when some water is in it goes fully up, then you can >open the other side, and it does the same - half way up and finally fully >up. Once you have a level, then open gates (paddles go straight down as >soon as the gates start opening) I don't know why you are telling me all that - I am fully aware of how these locks perform - just not what happens when the red button is pressed. So - do the paddles close instantly or do they trickle down at the speed they go up? -- Martin Clark Internet Boaters' Database http://www.boaterweb.co.uk Pennine Waterways Website http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk Yahoo!
