Didn't know lock gates cost so much: http://www.stratford-herald.com/67449-new-chapter-canals-long-history.html

Interesting article.

In the mid 70s I had a mate whose girlfriend's father was involved in making concrete lock gates. I have no idea if the gates lasted or were practicable.

I've seen a few concrete lock gates over the years - mostly at the entrance to coastal marinas.
