Guillotine locks are relatively uncommon, but many of them are found on the waterways of East Anglia . Their advantages over the more traditional type of design is that they occupy less space, do not require room to swing open, and are quicker to fabricate and install. They are mechanically more complex however, requiring the use of a Gantry and overhead lifting gear. |
