     (BW)   (TX-AMERICAN-LOCKER-GROUP)   AMERICAN   LOCKER  GROUP   INCORPORATED
ANNOUNCES EXTENSION OF SUPPLY PROGRAM FOR 1118E CLUSTER BOX UNITS

BUSINESS EDITOR

     GRAPEVINE,  TX - (BUSINESS  WIRE) December 8, 2005.  American  Locker Group
Incorporated (NASDAQ:  ALGI) announced that it was informed by the United States
Postal Service (USPS) that the Company will be permitted to continue its current
supply program of 1118E Cluster Box Units (CBUs), which is the Company's current
aluminum model, to the private market for use in mail delivery from the USPS for
a period of four months after the eventual  public release of the Technical Data
Package  for the new USPS 1118F CBU model.  The USPS has not advised the Company
of when the specifications for the new 1118F CBU model will be released, and the
Company  presently  intends to continue its supply program of 1118E CBUs through
the  first  quarter  of 2006 and the  expiration  of the  applicable  four-month
period.

     Edward F. Ruttenberg,  the Company's  Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
stated, "The Company believes that the extension of its 1118E CBU supply program
for a period  of four  months  following  the  public  release  of the 1118F CBU
specifications is a positive  development.  The four-month period should provide
valuable  time for the Company to transition to the 1118F CBU model in the event
that the Company  determines  that it will become a supplier of 1118F CBU models
to the private market.  In addition,  this extension should help to minimize any
interruption in the Company's revenue stream during any such transition."

     The matters  discussed in this press release which contain  forward-looking
statements,  including without limitation,  statements relating to the Company's
plans,  strategies,  objectives,   expectations,   intentions  and  adequacy  of

intentions,  which are  subject to change at any time at the  discretion  of the
Company, (ii) the successful implementation of the Company's restructuring plan,
including a significant reduction of annual selling,  general and administrative
expenses  and the  restructuring  of its bank  debt on terms  acceptable  to its
lenders,  (iii) new  product  development  by the  Company,  (iv) the  Company's
liquidity and capital resources,  (v) the Company's competition,  and (vi) other
