A door latch device comprises a latch body fixed at its front side to a door, a latch for engaging with a striker, a ratchet for maintaining the engagement between the latch and striker, an opening mechanism for releasing the ratchet from the latch, a locking mechanism displaceable between a locked condition and an unlocked condition, a stationary plate attached to a rear side of the latch body and projecting rearwardly, and an actuator fixed to the stationary plate for displacing the locking mechanism between the locked condition and the unlocked condition. The actuator has a substantially closed housing, an output shaft projecting outward from the housing, and an output lever fixed to the output shaft and coupled to the locking mechanism. A gap is formed between the housing and the stationary plate. The output lever is located in the gap.
