(BW) (NY-AMERICAN-LOCKER-GROUP) (NASDAQ:ALGI) AMERICAN LOCKER GROUP INCORPORATED
ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER OF 2005

BUSINESS EDITOR

   JAMESTOWN, NY- (BUSINESS WIRE) November 22, 2005. American Locker Group
Incorporated is announcing that it filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
its fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005. The operating results for the third
quarter of 2005 reflect the first full quarter without revenues from the
Company's long-term contract with the United States Postal Service (USPS) for
polycarbonate and aluminum Cluster Box Units (CBUs), which was not renewed by
USPS and expired on May 31, 2005. In addition, the Company recorded
restructuring charges of $523,000 in the third quarter of 2005.

   In the third quarter of 2005, the Company recorded consolidated net sales of
$6,612,149, a decrease from $18,074,076, or 63.4%, over the third quarter of
2004. The Company's consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September
30, 2005 were $24,758,791, which represents a decline of 34.6% from the
consolidated net sales of $37,882,548 for the comparable period in 2004. The
decrease in net sales was attributable primarily to reduced volume of plastic
postal products sold after the termination of the Company's CBU contract with
USPS on May 31, 2005 and the existence of a large one-time sale to USPS in the
third quarter of 2004 of approximately $7,000,000. Plastic locker sales were
$998,000 in the third quarter of 2005 versus $12,179,000 in the same period of
2004, a decline of 91.9%, whereas metal locker and metal postal sales for the
third quarter of 2005 were $5,624,000 compared to $5,895,000 in the same period
of 2004, or a decrease of 4.6%. The Company reported a net loss of $539,318 in
the third quarter of 2005 and a net loss of $6,611,876 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, after a first quarter write-down of goodwill of $6,155,204,
as compared to net income of $1,826,751 and $2,907,736, respectively, in the
same periods of 2004. Loss per share on a diluted basis was $0.35 per share in


                                       1


the third quarter of 2005 and $4.30 per share in the nine months ended September
30, 2005, down from earnings per share on a diluted basis of $1.17 and $1.86,
respectively, in the comparable periods of 2004.

   Edward F. Ruttenberg, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
stated, "The Company is moving forward in the challenging implementation of the
restructuring plan adopted by the Board of Directors in May of this year. During
the third quarter, the Company centralized and relocated many financial
reporting functions and all administrative functions to the new headquarters in
Grapevine, Texas. The Company expects to realize reduced selling, general and
administrative expenses going forward as a result of these measures."
