                                 DEREGISTRATION

     On December 31, 2005 the CompX Contributory Retirement Plan, formerly known
as the National Cabinet Lock, Inc.  Contributory  Retirement  Plan,  merged into
another retirement plan, with the other plan surviving the merger. The surviving
plan no longer offered to participants  the option to purchase or sell shares of
class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class A Common Stock"), of the
registrant. Any shares of Class A Common Stock held by a participant of the plan
were sold  prior to  December  31,  2005.  Accordingly,  the  registrant  hereby
deregisters  all unsold  shares of the  500,000  shares of Class A Common  Stock
initially registered under this registration statement.
