IS MY HOME CONSIDERED A "LOCKED facility"? HELP

According to the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, a patient

will be allowed under state law to cultivate marihuana for the qualifying patient, 12 marihuana plants kept in an enclosed, locked facility. Any incidental amount of seeds, stalks, and unusable roots shall also be allowed under state law and shall not be included in this amount.
Which is defined as:
"Enclosed, locked facility" means a closet, room, or other enclosed area equipped with locks or other security devices that permit access only by a registered primary caregiver or registered qualifying patient.

This is a distinct definition, taken directly from the law. The interpretation of the law as a whole, however, is not something anybody in Michigan has agreed upon yet. Smaller municipalities, such as Royal Oak, Wyoming, Caledonia Twp., Birmingham and more are creating laws and regulations that ignore, bypass, or otherwise restrict what the state voters passed in Dec, '08 so you have to be careful.

Personally, I don't think the locks on the outside facing doors fit the state's requirements. You're welcome to take your chances, though, somebody is going to have to eventually fight this one out in court. My interpretation of that is either every 12 plants must be kept in separate rooms that only the patient/caregiver have access to, or the caregiver must keep all plants locked in a controlled place that only they are allowed to access.
