The above-named red link keeps getting restored. I have reverted edits to add it in after the page was speedy deleted for being a duplicate of Caisson lock, which is already included on the disambiguation list. Please stop re-adding it. RegistryKey(RegEdit) 13:00, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Our Caisson lock article is clearly describing a very specific thing - an entire lock where the boat ascends and descends in a caisson chamber. That is clearly a different thing from a gate for a conventional lock. What I've not been able to determine is whether a 'caisson lock gate' is actually something different from a conventional lock gate. Clearly a hollow steel gate can be constructed like a caisson to assist its movement into place during construction or refurbishment, but are there lock gates (as opposed to dock gates) that are (partially) flooded and unflooded in the normal course of operation? To my mind, that is what a 'Caisson lock gate' ought to mean - though of course we need sources. AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:16, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ah gotcha now. It was the way I was reading the title. I did some googling, and I did find this link, plus there is a youtube video here that shows what one actually looks like. It would appear to be quite different than your standard "swinging door" lock gate. Good find! RegistryKey(RegEdit) 13:38, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, sometimes you actually have to read an article, not just the title, to know what it's about. Imagine that! Jeh (talk) 18:45, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
