Motor vehicle gate lock, especially tailgate lock

A motor vehicle door lock arrangement for a double rear hatch having a lower hatch door which can be swung down and which is attached to lower edge (2) and an upper hatch door which can be folded up and which is attached to upper edge (4) of the body opening. Door lock mechanisms for each hatch door are located on each side edge (6, 7) of the body opening and closure blocks therefor are located on side edges (8, 9) of the hatch doors (3, 5). Each lock mechanism has a rotary latch and detent pawl for securing and releasing a respective closure block. Essentially independent opening of each hatch door is possible. Preferably, the lock mechanisms of lower hatch (13) and upper hatch (5) are combined into a single lock unit on a lock carrier at each side of the body opening.
