“airlock” gate systems are confusing and awkard currently

The "airlock" gate systems in The Clink are currently confusing and awkward - I turned around several times thinking the lever was intentionally supposed to be "broken" or "disabled" due to the fighting occurring -- or perhaps part of a puzzle I needed to solve, until I finally decided to make a bug report about it - only to discover it's an intended mechanic in the release notes:

• Updates to The Clink: ... more “airlock” gate systems ..

​

Perhaps an easy solution while keeping the mechanic could be having the lever always be usable/interactable -- but if the partner lever is still 'open', have the game output floating text and/or local chat dialog message simlar to "You must wait for the other gate to close before trying to use this", etc?

PS - just tried this again at home with sound on -- you cannot 'hear' the opposite gate closing SFX when standing near the opposing lever/gate due to distance - that would also be a good hint/help for the player to understand the intention behind this mechanic.
