Abstract: A motor vehicle door lock, particularly a motor vehicle bonnet lock, includes a ratchet mechanism which substantially consists of a rotary latch and a pawl. The ratchet mechanism interacts with a lock retainer pin on a vehicle bonnet. A retention element is additionally provided which holds the pawl in a retention position, raised from the rotary latch, during unlocking of the bonnet. The lock retainer pin continues to engage in the rotary latch when in said retention position. During a first opening process which proceeds from the retention position, the lock retainer pin transfers the retention element into a release position that releases the pawl. During a subsequent bonnet closing process, the pawl can thus engage in the rotary latch, which can be pivoted without exertion of force by the lock retainer pin at least into the hold position.

Abstract: A closing device for a motor vehicle includes a locking mechanism having a rotary latch and at least one pawl, a trigger lever, with the locking mechanism being unlocked by the trigger lever, and a blocking component which is arranged on the closing device for blocking a movement of the trigger lever when a load acts on the motor vehicle from the outside. The blocking component can be guided in the closing device in a movable manner.

Abstract: A motor vehicle latch with a locking mechanism comprising a catch and a pawl for catching of the catch and a housing with an inlet slot for a latch holder which can go through the inlet slot into the housing in the event of closure of a door or flap and can be held there by the locking mechanism in such a way that the door or flap cannot open in an unscheduled manner, whereby the housing demonstrates a cover on a side of the housing with the inlet slot which is attached to the housing with the aid of a positive connection produced by suspension. An especially reliable fixing of the cover can thus be facilitated. Furthermore, the invention relates to a mounting procedure for the cover to the housing.
