Send Message if Account is Locked Out

currently I'm creating a script that will at the moment just return a message if an Account is not locked out, and .LockedOut = "False". All the accounts i'm running have False as their LockedOut status, however it's not returning the message in my if statement like I would hope.

$user1 = $env:USERNAME
$u = Import-Csv C:\Users\$user1\Documents\ServiceAccts.csv | ForEach-Object{ Get-ADUser $_.User -Properties *}
#Run write-output to display AD info
#write-output $u
if ($u.LockedOut -eq "False") {[System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show('Not Locked')}

So I'm just hoping that for each one that equals false for it to display the message box at the moment. I was hoping you guys could help me out and see if anything is wrong with my If statement. Thanks!

Checking for "false" literally looks for the word false. In Powershell you need to check against $false as per the updated code below: 

  $user1 = $env:USERNAME
    $u = Import-Csv C:\Users\$user1\Documents\ServiceAccts.csv | ForEach-Object{ Get-ADUser $_.User -Properties *}
    #Run write-output to display AD info
    #write-output $u
    if ($u.LockedOut -eq $false) {[System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show('Not Locked')}

Alternatively use -not $u.LockedOut
