Last time I used it about 3 years ago, we were waiting outside upstream to get in, sounded horn, tried phoning them but no answer, eventualy someone wandered out and declared there was not water the other side and if we wanted to go through it would be at our own risk. We said yes we did it as it was 3hrs before HW london bridge and we wouldn't get into Limehouse before 6pm if we didn't go through now, the lockkeeper was very off with us. I didn't give him any abuse but I can understand why some might have.
