What is claimed is: 1. A lock assembly, comprising: A) a lock having a lock housing and an actuating housing, said lock housing comprising a keyhole for a key to unlock said actuating housing from said lock housing, said actuating housing is slidably mounted onto said lock housing, said lock housing further comprising first, second, third, fourth and fifth walls, said first wall including said keyhole, said second and third walls being parallel and equally spaced apart by said fourth wall, said lock housing further comprising first and second notches, said first notch being disposed with said fifth wall and said second notch being internally disposed next to said second wall, said second notch housing a first spring and a locking tab, and said lock housing further comprising an aperture next to said second wall that houses a second spring having a resilient force, said first notch having a vertical track member mounted thereto at a parallel relationship with respect to said first wall, said vertical track member having means to keep said first wall attached to said lock housing, said vertical track member further having a transversally disposed vertical cutout; and B) a rail assembly including two rail members kept at a spaced apart relationship with respect to each other by a transversal member. 2. The lock assembly set forth in claim 1, wherein said actuating housing comprises sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth walls, a protrusion with a third notch and a pin, said sixth wall being a rear wall and said seventh and eighth walls being parallel and equally spaced apart by said ninth wall, said protrusion having a cooperative shape and dimension to snugly fit within said first notch. 3. The lock assembly set forth in claim 2, wherein said pin passes through said seventh wall, said vertical cutout and said eighth wall and wherein said second spring keeps said lock unlocked, said protrusion is snugly fitted within said first notch and said locking tab is cammingly engaged into said third notch when a user exerts said predetermined force upon said actuating housing towards said lock housing to overcome the resilient force of said second spring. 4. The lock assembly set forth in claim 3, wherein said lock is mounted onto said rail assembly by inserting said transversal member behind said protrusion and said predetermined force is placed upon said actuating housing towards said lock housing until said locking tab is engaged into said third notch. 5. The lock assembly set forth in claim 4, wherein said key actuates said locking tab to release said locking tab from said third notch. 6. The lock assembly set forth in claim 5, wherein said display assembly is a look hoop system comprising holes to receive distal ends of said rail members. 7. The lock assembly set forth in claim 6, wherein said rail members have curvature between said transversal member and said distal ends to secure said rail assembly into said holes of said look hoop system. 8. The lock assembly set forth in claim 7, wherein said rail members are parallel.
