Thats said, the RMO in SA OC 131:2 says "Some say that NA is only
where there's a ST... and this is the minhag."

The Be'er Heitev brings the SKNH"K (who's that?) in the name of the
Rokeach that "if there are other seforim they have the din of a ST,
and that's what we rely on nowadays."

The MB doesn't mention this possibility. He discusses the various
scenarios of davening outside the sanctuary and paskens that if the
shul is locked then you don't do NA.
