Abstract
A lock for motor vehicle doors is described. The lock comprises a striker member arranged for engagement and disengagement by means comprised in a mechanism of said lock, the mechanism is supported by a first plate, and the striker member and means are disposed on a part fixed relative to the door and on the door respectively, or vice versa. The main feature of this lock is that said means comprise at least one pair of engagement members for said striker which are rotatable on pins, and the disengagement load exerted between said member and said means is opposed only by component forces passing substantially through the axis of said pins.
