ABSTRACT:
A suitcase lock assembly formed of a push-button lock and a pin tumbler lock for working with two locking units and two linking units in a suitcase, in which each push button of the push-button lock has two grooves for receiving a movable member to force a movable plate away from the linking units for allowing the linking units to be driven by the push blocks to open the locking covers, and the pin tumbler lock has an actuation block rotatable with the key to move the movable plate away from the linking units for allowing the linking units to be driven by the push blocks to open the locking covers. Thus, the user can selectively use the push-button lock or the pin tumbler lock, enhancing the security and convenience of use of the suitcase.
