    What do you find puzzling about the lock?

    Well, where is it? I see a key, where's the locking bit? No trapdoor either. Does it lock the sides?

    Yes, it locks on the sides. That way, the desk top is free of the annoying plate and the appearance is not marred by having a locking bit jut out of the desk when it is open.
