Door lock with two lock case portions disposed in parallel opposed relationship

A door lock comprising two lock case parts disposed in parallel opposed relationship and forming a lock case, an injection molded resilient thermoplastic material follower mounted in the lock case and moveable therein between inoperative and operative positions, the follower having a body part which in the follower inoperative position is engaged against a stop bar in the case, said follower further having a lever-like follower leg, said lock further including a spring bolt, a tumbler and a spring member engageable with both said spring bolt and said tumbler, radial rotative movement of the follower to an operative position causing lateral shifting of the spring bolt, characterized in that

• the follower leg forks off the follower body part and bears against an abutment structure in the lock case, said follower leg resiliently bending outwardly relative to the body part upon radial rotary movement of the follower from inoperative to operative positions, the spring bolt and tumbler spring member being a structure having free legs which are integral with a base structure, one leg of said spring member engaging the spring bolt and the other the lock tumbler.
