A lock device includes a frame which has an opening and a fixed portion internally provided therein. A lid member is hinged to the frame, the lid member being rotatable between an open position and a closed position, the opening of the frame being opened by the lid member at the open position and closed by the lid member at the closed position. A lock member locks the lid member to the frame when the lid member is at the closed position, the lock member including a connecting unit and a rotating unit, the connecting unit configured to be connected to the fixed portion so as to lock the lid member to the frame, the rotating unit configured to be engaged with the connecting unit, the rotating unit actuating the connecting unit so as to connect the connecting unit to the fixed portion when the rotating unit is depressed, the rotating unit actuating the connecting unit so as to lock the lid member to the frame when the rotating unit is rotated, wherein the rotation of the rotating unit is allowed by a disengagement of the rotating unit from the connecting unit caused by the depression of the rotating unit.
