The present invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock comprising: a forked latch (,) intended to interact with a striker; a pawl (,) which normally locks the latch in the closed position and which can adopt an &ldquo;escapement&rdquo; position in which it no longer acts on the said latch (,); a latch-release mechanism comprising an operating member (,) which, on the one hand, can adopt either an active position in which it acts, during its actuating movement, on the pawl (,) to place it in the &ldquo;escapement&rdquo; position, or an inhibited position in which, during its actuating movement, it has no effect on the pawl (,) and, on the other hand, may experience an actuating movement in response to actuation of the door handle by the user; and an electric device which responds at least to an unlock signal by moving the operating member (,) from its inhibited position until it reaches its active position, characterized in that the lock further comprises a camming mechanism (,) which, when the unlock signal is transmitted more or less at the end of the actuating travel of the operating member (,), brings the pawl (,) into its &ldquo;escapement&rdquo; position.
