Comment on Was it possible to get locked in a telephone booth?

There were no locks of the booths, and phones were in fact occasionally stolen. But it was generally not worth the hassle, and so there were no locks. Plus they were meant to be accessible 24/7.

Finally, many times the phones weren’t in the booth and we’re just mounted to a wall. The booth was to give you some theoretical privacy and reduce background noise, that’s about it.
