The lock is constructed from brick and stone, with wing walls and concrete coping. It has offside tail steps and includes a single steel top gate equipped with one mechanical gate paddle gearing and two mechanical ground paddle gearings.

Additionally, brick and concrete ramps lead down to the towpath and the adjoining bridge.
