It's a courtesy for customers who are just dropping off mail and don't need to come in and do other transactions at the counter. It's also to allow them to deposit mail before and after the office is closed, in the event that it doesn't have 24/7 access to the inside mail drops.

I guess safety reasons like if we had a black out or they just got robbed etc.It's like walmart and most denny's that are open 24 hours but, still have locks.

Because there are 24 hrs in a day, but 12 hr on a clock.

I do not think you will find a dept, store open but you can always find a 7-11

The chances are really good.  I use to work in Compton and no one would deliver food after 4 o'clock in the afternoon and all the companies locked their gates at about the same time.

video the lockers.  (or spread a rumor that there is a security system)\nBuying stronger locks is a possibility, but a crow bar can handle most locks.

I would say, yes, as it gets darker earlier so more cover for ilegal activity whether it be burglary or mugging or any other crime. And for the same reason that some have posted about people being up later in summer I would sugest this being a reason for criminal activity to fall. too many people around to make crime undetected. In winter people will be more likely to be off the streets cosy indoors huddled around the tv. Less witnesses on the street and burgalers can nip into houses that are unlit as it's fairly certain nobody is in.\n\nCan't do that at 8pm in the summer as no-one has their lights on anyway. How would they tell if someone was in or not.

Because knowing how obssessed with sex some of the people on here are........\nSome guy is liable to stick his little weiner in the lockless door and come on here the next day with.........\n"Hey...  anyone ever have sex with a door at 7-11? I did and it was hot".

With your fingers crossed that the police don't come knocking on your door too soon.\n\nIt's illegal so not recommended.\n\n///

If your being there disturbs others in the neighborhood, then you can be asked to leave, because your noise, etc, is not confined to the drive in.\n\nIf it's midnight, maybe someone is trying to sleep, doncha know.

They used to be open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.; hence the name.  Now I think most of them are open all the time.

It's a courtesy for customers that only need to drop off mail and are not doing any other transactions. It's also for customers who may wish to deposit mail before or after the post office is closed, in the event that the lobby is not open 24/7 to access the inside drop.

Because it is a political decision and not a scientific decision. Daylight savings time is just the government's way of making you get up an hour early.

some of them have a manual lock on the side. A little switch. Needs to be it the correct position.

If they go out of business they can lock them out. There was a company close to where I live that did that a couple years ago. They went out of business over night and locked everyone out. They were all out of job.
