1. A lock assembly comprising:
a casing;
a blocking unit that includes
a blocking member having an engaging slot and being operable to move between an open position, where said blocking member is inside said casing, and a block position, where said blocking member protrudes from said casing, and
a knob extending into said casing, connected to said blocking member, and configured to be operable manually for driving said blocking member toward said block position;

a lock unit that is mounted within said casing and that includes
a mount base,
an engaging member having a main body that is disposed in said mount base, and a pin that is connected to said main body, said main body having a first abutment portion and a second abutment portion, said engaging member being movable between an engaging position, where said pin engages said engaging slot when said blocking member is in said block position so as to prevent movement of said blocking member, and an unlocked position, where said pin is disengaged from said engaging slot so as to allow movement of said blocking member,
a biasing member disposed between said mount base and said engaging member for biasing said engaging member toward said engaging position,
an electric unlock module having
a motor,
a first push member that is connected to said motor, said motor being operable for driving said first push member to abut against said first abutment portion of said main body of said engaging member and to move said engaging member, and
a controller that is electrically connected to said motor for controlling operation of said motor, and

a manual unlock module having
a lock cylinder that is rotatable and that has a keyhole adapted for insertion of a key, and
a second push member that is connected co-rotatably to said lock cylinder, rotation of said lock cylinder being actuated upon rotation of the key to drive said second push member to abut against said second abutment portion of said main body of said engaging member and to move said engaging member,

said engaging member being operable by one of said electric unlock module and said manual unlock module to move to said unlocked position; and
a power supply unit that is electrically connected to said electric unlock module.
