Abstract
A lock device is provided with: a latch unit having a slit which allows a striker to enter and exit and configured to engage with and to be disengaged from the striker; and a support member for supporting a spring member outside the latch unit in such a manner that the spring member extends in the width direction of the slit. The spring member is elastically deformed when in contact with the striker having entered the slit, and as a result, the spring member applies pressing force to the striker, the pressing force acting in the direction in which the striker exits the slit.
