(BW) (NY-AMERICAN-LOCKER-GROUP) (NASDAQ:ALGI) AMERICAN LOCKER GROUP INCORPORATED
RECEIVES NOTICE RELATING TO NONCOMPLIANCE WITH NASDAQ LISTING REQUIREMENTS

BUSINESS EDITOR

JAMESTOWN, NY- (BUSINESS WIRE) April 20, 2005 American Locker Group Incorporated
announced  that it has  received  notice on April 19, 2005 from The NASDAQ Stock
Market   indicating  that  the  Company  is  not  in  compliance  with  NASDAQ's
requirements  for  continued  listing  set  forth  in  NASDAQ  Marketplace  Rule
4310(c)(14)  as a result of the  Company's  failure to file its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended  December 31, 2004 with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  While the notice does not by itself  result in  immediate
delisting of the Company's common stock, NASDAQ stated in its notice that unless
the Company requests a hearing with a NASDAQ Listing  Qualifications  Panel, the
Company's  common stock will be delisted  from Nasdaq at the opening of business
on April 28, 2005.  In addition,  the trading  symbol for the  Company's  common
stock will be changed  from  "ALGI" to "ALGIE"  effective  as of the  opening of
business on April 21, 2005.

  NASDAQ  rules  permit the Company to request a hearing  with a NASDAQ  Listing
Qualifications  Panel to appeal NASDAQ's decision to delist the Company's common
stock.  The  Company  intends  to make a timely  request  for a hearing  on this
matter, which will stay the delisting pending the hearing and a determination by
the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel, and to request an extension to file its
Annual Report on Form 10-K. While the Company is working  diligently to file its
Annual Report on Form 10-K as soon as possible,  there can be no assurance  that
the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel will grant the Company's request.
