Abstract
A door lock ( ) having an opening aid ( ) has a rotatable lock latch ( ), a detent pawl ( ) arresting the latter in the latching position, and a driven driving pin ( ) which opens the detent pawl ( ) and can be blocked against a stop ( ). The previously customary solution of providing the stop ( ) on the detent pawl ( ) restricts the structural design. In order to obtain more scope in the arrangement of the parts, it is proposed to arrange the stop ( ) on a separate blocking lever ( ) which can be carried along into its blocking position by the detent pawl ( ) during the opening.
