    IBM has an advertisement that includes a vault door. It's not a bad representation of a real door, and the resemblance to a question mark is probably intentional.

    Sometimes Hollywood gets it right, by using a real door. This is from the TV series Bones, season 3, episode 6, "Intern in the Incinerator". Though some cosmetic changes are made, this looks like a real Mosler door with a disappointing 3-movement time lock. The glass is missing and they covered the lettering announcing Mosler as the maker. And they added a motto relevant to the plot.

    I'm guessing they found an abandoned bank in Los Angeles for filming.

    This one appeared in an episode of the TV series Rizzoli & Isles (season 6, episode 8, "Nice to Meet You, Dr. Isles"). The door is a fairly good prop, the builder must have worked from a photo of a real one. It does the necessary job (convince the viewers they are seeing a jewelry store).
