SH3 has always been a game of patience!

Dock lock open/close time... roughly 2 minutes to 2 minutes 20 seconds.... roughly...

Leaving, the 1st set opens, give or take that time frame length, then those close... interval until the outer set opens is again same amount of time, then the outer set uses same time frame to open. Then that set closes, for the same time frame until the 1st set reopens, repeating in a continuous cycle.

1 set: opens & stays open for 2-2:20, then closes... interval time until the outer set opens 2-2:20 minutes, then outer set opens & stays open: 2-2:20 minutes then closes, interval time until the 1st set then reopens 2-2:20 minutes.

dampen, lather, rinse, repeat... as the ol' sayin' goes...

Hope this info helps...
