os cadeados não fornecidos pela escola

Explanation:
Portuguese doesn't typically allow this kind of adjective construction. Thus requiring a restructuring of the grammar and sentence. The example line in the paragraph would read most accurately as "Todos os cadeados não fornecidos pela escola serão removidos."
I feel it important to note that the example paragraph could cause confusion unless there is some kind of phrase like "são proibidos e" inserted between "escola" and "serão."

With that in mind, a restructuring of the sentence to fit a preference for the singular prevalent in Brazilian Portuguese would be more clear and would remove most of the confusion.

Example sentence(s):

Todos os cadeados não fornecidos pela escola serão removidos.
Qualquer cadeado não fornecido pela escola será removido.
