  • Vehicle door lock assembly
    Patent number: 4506527
    Abstract: This door lock assembly has a thin mounting plate which fits snugly against the door post and passes behind the rear edge of the door without interfering with the usual latch on the door. An opening in this mounting plate passes the usual striker on the door post for engagement by the door latch. The mounting plate has an outer wall segment which extends behind the rear edge of the door and supports the housing of a lock. The lock has a slidable locking bolt which can be retracted behind the rear edge of the door, permitting the door to be opened and closed, or extended forward along the outside of the door to lock it closed.
