Mersey lock on ebay

Postby greyman » 3 Apr 2007 14:36

A colleague just brought my attention to an interesting high security lock on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0108339059

It appears to be a high security Mersey lever lock. I thought these locks were restricted - Government-only use. Is it legitimate to sell them on the open market?

Any lock can be sold, if you are the owner of the lock. Abloy makes also locks that are used by the government and are high secure and still you can see them sold on eBay and similar.

Nice looking lock by the way :) Reminds me of a safe lock that I once encountered: Round, lever type lock, except it was HUGE.
