Exhibit 99.1

Grapevine, Texas — May 16, 2007 — American Locker Group Incorporated (OTC: ALGI.PK) (“American Locker” or the “Company”) announced today that it had received written notification from the U.S. Postal Service (“USPS”) confirming that, effective September 8, 2007, the USPS would no longer install its “arrow locks” on American Locker’s Model 1118E Cluster Box Unit (“CBU”).  As American Locker has previously disclosed, it had anticipated receiving this notice since December 2005.

The USPS decertification of Model 1118E has occurred in conjunction with the USPS making available technical specifications for its Model USPS-B-1118 (“F Series”) CBU.  Accordingly, the Company is preparing its application to the USPS to become a licensed manufacturer of the successor USPS-B-1118 CBU, and will conduct a concurrent and ongoing internal cost analysis to determine whether it can manufacture that successor Model profitably.

American Locker believes that it will ultimately be approved by the USPS as a licensed manufacturer of the USPS-B-1118 CBU, although it could take between 6-8 months for American Locker to be producing the USPS-B-1118 CBU at current levels.

American Locker will continue to sell existing inventories of Model 1118E CBUs through August 2007, and it does not presently anticipate that it will incur material inventory write-offs as a result of such decertification.  After August 2007, the Company’s revenues will be adversely affected by this decertification until such time as the Company has received USPS approval to manufacture the successor USPS-B-1118 CBU and has commenced manufacture and sale of those units. The negative impact on revenues will, however, be offset in part by reduced working capital needs during the same period.
