Abstract
A lock, especially for motor vehicles, for securing a movable part, such as a pivoting flap, in position with respect to a stationary part, such as a housing, includes two rotary latches at a certain distance apart, wherein two closing pieces engage in the rotary latches when the latches are in the closed position. The locking elements are connected to a shaft and are rotatable synchronously with the shaft. At least certain sections of the shaft have torsional rigidity in the rotational direction, but flexibility in the axial direction.
