* The first lock in Söderköping was built in 1832, but was built on such a bad ground that it was at risk of falling apart.
A new lock was built in a new place in 1847 and the old lock totally filled up in 1891.
** The names stated here are the names givven to the lockstations when they were built. But these names are never used, and hardly even known, today. The names used today are the place-names stated in the column at far left in this table.
