Door lock for a dishwashing machine

A door lock for a dishwashing machine comprising:

• a lock housing;
• a pair of closing arms, which are held in and project from the lock housing and of which the free arm portions projecting from the lock housing are deflectable relative to one another from a relative normal position in a relative first deflection direction counter to the action of a resetting spring arrangement;
• and
• a closing mouth, into which the free arm portions of the closing arms engage during closing of the door of the dishwashing machine, wherein disposed on the closing mouth are deflection surfaces, which the free arm portions encounter during engagement into the closing mouth and which bring about a relative deflection of the free arm portions counter to the resetting action of the resetting spring arrangement, wherein the free arm portions during further engagement is move past the deflection surfaces and in so doing experience an at least partial resetting in the direction of their relative normal position.
