temps de passage en écluse

Another suggestion based on Tony's own proposal.
on "franchit" une écluse, un point, une montagne plus qu'on ne les "passe", mais passer est évidemment correct et acceptable, la fréquence d'utilisation du terme en est la preuve incontestable.

thanks Tony. I used your answer as I was not sure "lock time" was about a lock (écluse) or about an "unavailability" time (...)
/St Martin de Ré has a lock but you cannot leave the harbour at low tide so there are times when the harbour is locked
