Abstract A door lock has an open lever linked with an open rod and pivotally mounted on a base plate and a locking lever linked with a locking link and pivotally mounted on a sub plate, the open lever and the locking lever being linked with each other through a locking rod so that a door is selectively locked and unlocked by the pivotal motion of the open lever which is caused by the pivotal motion of the locking lever. The door lock further has a protective wall in the shape of an upright wall which is formed integral with the side surface of the open lever which faces the locking lever. Since the protective wall which is formed integral with the open lever functions as a protective means, it is possible to reduce the number of parts and the number of man-hours needed for the assembling operation and further use the door lock in common to all types of vehicle.
A door lock having an open lever linked with an open rod and pivotally mounted on a base plate and a locking lever linked with a locking link and pivotally mounted on a sub plate, said open lever and said locking lever being linked with each other through a locking rod so that a door is selectively locked and unlocked by the pivotal motion of said open lever which is caused by the pivotal motion of said locking lever, wherein the improvement comprises a protective wall in the shape of an upright wall which is formed integral with the side surface of said open lever which faces said locking lever.
