Disclosed is a vehicle door lock device comprising a lock release member which enables operation between an operation position where a ratchet engages a latch and a standby position where free rotation of the ratchet is permitted, which is urged toward the standby position, and which is driven toward the operation position by a drive member that engages the lock release member when an actuator operates. The vehicle door lock device can release the locked state of a door by operation of the actuator and can also release the locked state of the door by manual operation. In response to the manual operation for releasing the locked state of the door when the drive member (67) has engaged the lock release member (66), an engagement release mechanism (96) releases the engagement between the drive member (67) and the lock release member (66). It is therefore possible to return to a state in which the closed state of the door can be maintained, even when the drive member has stopped at the operation position due to a failure of the actuator when the locked state of the door has been released. |
