These lock gates are located in the marina which is bordered by the Sofatel Hotel and Lighter Quay apartments, Halsey Street, downtown Auckland.
Before the gates can open the water levels must be balanced between the lock and the harbor or the lock and the Marina. Pumps and actuators allow us to maintain levels and regularly flush the Marina.
