[0031] In practical application, the lock of this invention is configured to rotate a rotating disk 13 at the front end by turning a key. A return spring 14 is provided inside the rotating disk 13. When the key is turned, the rotating rod 12 rotates; when the key is released, it automatically returns to its original position due to the action of the return spring 14. An extension rod 28 is installed at one end of the rotating rod 12. The extension rod 28 has three different sets of first threaded holes 29.
