Abstract: The disclosure relates to a door lock for an automobile vehicle, including a lock casing with at least two compartments, the first being a retention compartment containing retention parts, such as a latch bolt intended to engage and hold a striker, and a pawl intended to block the latch bolt in its striker holding position, and the second being a kinematic compartment containing parts used to control the inside and outside opening and locking/unlocking of the lock, the compartments providing, for the retention and control parts, mounting planes parallel to the transverse vertical plane of the vehicle, said retention compartment including a striker slot opening in the transverse direction and receiving a striker during door closing, wherein said casing has a plane of symmetry parallel to the longitudinal vertical plane or to the longitudinal horizontal plane of the vehicle, to enable use of the same casing for either a left door or a right door.

Abstract: Motor vehicle door lock having a means of locking/unlocking the lock from the outside and an electric actuator (50) for controlling the means of locking/unlocking from the outside. In particular, the means of locking/unlocking from the outside is a central locking/unlocking wheel (20) with which all the means (22, 38, 40) of controlling the locking/unlocking of the lock from the outside cooperate. Also, the wheel can be rotated by the electric actuator (50).

Abstract: A motor vehicle door lock is provided. An inside connecting device is connected at one end to an inside door opening element and at another end to an inside opening lever. The inside opening lever pivots about a first pin via the inside connecting device and the inside door opening element, whereby the inside opening lever engages a pawl which in turn engages a striker. An inside pivoting arm cooperates with the inside opening lever. The inside pivoting arm pivots about pin whereby it moves the inside opening lever between a locked and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the inside opening lever is not affected by the inside connecting device and in the unlocked position, the inside connecting device may act on the inside opening lever. Corresponding parts are also provided for an outside door opening element. The latch, pawl, levers and pivoting arms are all arranged parallel to the same face of a housing whereby their pins are perpendicular to the same face.

Abstract: Electric lock comprising a driver (132) secured to a pawl (131) and comprising a V-shaped recess (134), an electric motor intended to drive a wrist pin capable of entering said recess until the driver escapes the action of the wrist pin, an immobilizing means (140, 141) capable of adopting a position for immobilizing the pawl at the end of the pivoting of the pawl toward its separated position, and of adopting a position for releasing the pawl, preferably at the end of the rotational travel of the latch toward its unlocked position at the latest, characterized in that the immobilizing means comprises a moving catching member (140) with elastic return and a mating retaining projection (141), one of these borne by the driver (132) and the other by the latch (130), said member being capable of overcoming and then catch onto said projection and further on at the end of the pivoting of the pawl, the pawl thus being immobilized in the separated position until the latch begins to pivot toward its unlocked position.
