Abstract
A vehicle door latch has a selectively activated security lock that prevents a vehicle door from being unlatched by an inside door handle. The security lock is activated and deactivated when the vehicle door is open by inserting a key or other probe-like instrument into a slot in an inner panel of the vehicle door to manipulate a moveable arm of the security lock.
