Indeed they are.  When I came down the flight last year I found that by
leaving a lock at a reasonable speed, but winding up the throttle when
the boat was about half way out, enough water would build up behind the
boat and get behind the gates that getting on for half the time both
gates would shut on their own.  It does, of course, help if you have
already set the next lock so that you can go straight in :-)
