I'm not entirely sure but maybe for when:\n\n1) For when they empty the vaults/collect money\n2) For days it closed (is it open 365 days a year)\n3) For when they have to close (hurricane or something similar)\n4) Or my favourite answer...the doors came with the locks (why pay to remove them)

Do you lock your doors at night or when you leave?  If the answer is yes you've answered your own question.

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.

Actually, not all 7-11 stores are open 24 hours.  Some really are open from 7am to 11pm. \n\nYears ago, Dennys Restaurants were open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  The story goes that the corporation decided to close all stores for Christmas one year.   Many of the restaurants could not find the KEY, so they had to hire a locksmith to close.

Some cases have optical sensors which sense the open door.\nThey are located on the opposite side of the doors.

Are you asking about the UK version?  Because the American version hasn't officially started yet.  They lock them in over here after the 4th of July and let them out around Labor Day sometime.

I think it's because they do the maintenance at night. Maybe Tom has a day job so he can only fix the site at night. :)

They say the purpose it to conserve energy. \nBut, we all know it's just to mess everyone up, mess with their minds and their schedules.\n\nSome of these people were a little too happy with their answers. I bet they didn't even change their clocks! ;0)

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.

Actually a good many countries around the world use the 24 hour clock system. Then there isn't a need to say AM or PM, you know whether its day or night. Also the military begins attacks, movements and such on Greenwich mean time, its a town in Britain. And its used so everyone that aware of an operation knows what time it begins regardless of what part of the world they are in.

Maintenance occurs in office buildings during late evening to the early morning hours; this would consist of janitorial tasks.  In retail outlets, stocking (and related activities) is the primary activity performed during these hours.  Please note that there may be exceptions.\n\nThese jobs are primarily performed during these hours (as opposed to when the building/store is open to the public) purposely, to prepare the premises for opening the next business day.  For example, it would not be practical to rearrange store shelves or to vacuum hallways at other times.

They must provide access. They could close one bathroom for cleaning provided another is open. Or, they could close them if an attendant was present to open the door when needed.

So that when they see you they can lock them and hide in the sh*iter..Honestly though they have to leave at some point how do they go to the bank?Lunch.and they probably have it for emergency's where they have to lock up for security reasons.

Allows work, and play, to be conducted 24/7\n\nIn the old days fuel was too costly to keep the lights on all night.  Lights Out really meant Lights Out.

They are open now but if the paranoid Americans will ever stop being so paranoid they might learn something other than what your very propagandized news media is saying. \nI am tired of this argument being brought forward everyday by total idiots.
