Photographing locks is not illegal.

Nice man! Can't wait to see more of these! Is that the same kind of Yale that I picked in that video I made like a week ago asking about the car ignition lock? I don't know if it is an IC core or not.

there's this one lock that you should take a picture of at a movie theater near me. The interesting thing isn't the lock but the door it's on, it on the side wall of the building 2 stories up with nothing else near it........A blank wall with a door randomly there in the air :lol: that would be fun to try to get to

But taking a photo of any government institute in any form can cause trouble, while not necessarily illegal they can get pretty touchy about it. But as far as malls, banks, large offices... go for it. The museum I take my daughters to is laden with MTL+, even internally on passage doors.

Also photography laws vary from place to place. eg, in Ontario if its viewable from a public place you are allowed to photograph it without consent, in Quebec you need written permission to take a photo of any person, even in public, while not strictly enforced said individual could file suit. You also reserve the right to go onto anyones property without consent, providing there are no signs posted otherwise or a closed fence.

Its a cam lock that has a built in sesame combination lock. The entire face of the lock can be rotated 90° to actuate the lock. It was on a hospital supplies closet. Little note** It is easy to manipulate open ;)
