  • Publication number: 20040262927
    Abstract: A door lock device includes a latch mechanism engageable with or disengageable from a striker, an open unit transmitting an opening operation force to the latch mechanism for disengaging the latch mechanism from the engagement with the striker, a lock unit transmitting locking and unlocking operation forces to the open unit for operating the open unit between an unlocking condition where the opening operation force is transmittable to the latch mechanism and a locking condition where the opening operation force is not transmittable to the latch mechanism, an actuator for outputting the locking and unlocking operation forces. The door lock device further includes a housing for storing the latch mechanism, the open unit, the lock unit and the actuator as a unit, and a case provided within the housing for accommodating at least the actuator.
