<p>A vehicle door lock (106) and latch (104) assembly is provided whereby a key may be used to lock the door (100) and to prevent rotation of the outside door handle (108). A lock handle (116) is provided inside the vehicle door (100) for overriding the key lock (110) to permit the inside and outside handles (114, 108) to operate to open the door. Both the key lock (110) and the lock handle (116) when turned operate a linkage (172, 168) which is connected to the locking cam (158) enabling the locking cam (158) to be moved between its locked and unlocked positions. Even with the lock handle (116) and the key lock (110) in the locked position, the inside handle (114) can be turned to move the locking cam (158) to the unlocked position and to open the door (100). The outside handle (108) can now be used to open the door also. The outside handle (108) can also be released for operation by turning the key in the key lock (110) to the unlocked position.</p> |
