This is not a lock, but a weir, also called a weir. In hydraulic engineering, this is a barrier structure that shuts off the inflow or outflow of a body of water. It is therefore part of a dam and forms an artificial drop step. Weirs can be temporarily overflowed or flown through, or both at the same time.
