Abstract
The invention relates to a rotary-latch lock comprising two additional parts, namely a closing stirrup ( ) and at least one rotary latch. The lock is adjusted by means of the assembly of the closing stirrup. Said rotary latch is arranged on a flap element, for example, in a fixed manner, and remains in such a position. The closing stirrup ( ) is then placed on a body part, for example, in such a way that the position thereof can be changed by means of, for example, spacer sleeves or spacer bars. The aim of the invention is to create a reliable lock which can be easily adjusted after being assembled. In order to achieve this, the closing stirrup ( ) comprises two components, namely a fixing element ( ) and a stirrup element ( ). The two components ( ) are arranged in a distance-variable manner in such a way that the stirrup element ( ) can be connected to the body part by means of the fixing element ( ), and the lock is adjusted after assembly by changing the distance between the two components ( ). A regulating element ( ) for changing the distance is arranged between the fixing element ( ) and the stirrup element ( ).
