(BW) (NY-AMERICAN-LOCKER-GROUP) (NASDAQ:ALGI) AMERICAN LOCKER GROUP INCORPORATED
POSTAL CONTRACT EXPIRATION

BUSINESS EDITOR

JAMESTOWN,   NY-(BUSINESS   WIRE)   February  8,  2005  American   Locker  Group
Incorporated  announced that the United States Postal Service (USPS) has advised
the  Company  that it will not be awarded a  contract  for  continued  supply of
Cluster Box Units (CBUs) to the USPS. The Company's  current  contracts with the
USPS expire  February 28, 2005. The USPS has advised the Company that there will
be a transition  period following  expiration of the contracts in which the USPS
will  continue to  purchase  CBU's from the Company but the Company has not been
advised of the length of the transition period or the expected level of sales to
the USPS during the transition  period.  The USPS has been the Company's largest
customer in the last four fiscal years accounting for more than 50% of net sales
in each such fiscal year and the loss of this sales revenue is likely to have an
adverse effect on the Company. The Company is actively exploring the development
of new markets and strategies to mitigate the effects of this development.
