I find it weird that you highlight height differences at the ends as if that's the reason for locks, and not the massive height difference of the lake itself or the fact that it's a lake of fresh water between the sides. The difference in sea levels at each doesn't matter at all. There isn't some magic force keeping them different, it's just tides and gravity. It would be level if a channel was dug deep enough, but that's insane to do because of how long the distance is.
