The vehicle door lock apparatus further includes guide projections formed at one of the first and second bodies, and guide grooves formed at the other of the first and second bodies. In addition, a stopper is provided for preventing the separation of integrated first and second bodies by the engagement between the guide projections and the guide grooves.
