(BW) (NY-AMERICAN-LOCKER-GROUP) (NASDAQ:ALGIE) AMERICAN LOCKER GROUP
INCORPORATED HAS ORAL HEARING WITH NASDAQ LISTING QUALIFICATIONS PANEL

BUSINESS EDITOR

JAMESTOWN,  NY - (BUSINESS WIRE) May 31, 2005 American Locker Group Incorporated
announced  that an oral  hearing was held with a NASDAQ  Listing  Qualifications
Panel on May 26, 2005 to appeal NASDAQ's decision to delist the Company's common
stock.  In addition to the issues raised in the previously  announced  April 19,
2005 notice of  noncompliance  relating to the  Company's  Annual Report on Form
10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2004,  the hearing also  encompassed
matters  related to the notice  from The NASDAQ  Stock  Market  received  by the
Company on May 24, 2005.  The May 24, 2005 notice stated 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
with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission its Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q
for its fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005.  The Company is working  diligently
to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as soon
as  possible,  but there can be no  assurance  that the Company  will be able to
avoid delisting.
