Abstract
A rotary latch lock for the locking closure of a door, especially of a vehicle door of a tractor, including a rotary latch, a rotary latch spring coacting with the rotary latch as well as a stop piece, the rotary latch and the stop piece being pivotally mounted and capable of coacting in the bolting of the lock. The bolting is released by a lever system which has an actuating lever for acting on the stop piece. The rotary latch lock is provided with a lock base plate, the lock base plate being bent in a U-shaped configuration to include first and second shanks and a base shank, so that the actuating lever is articulated on the second shank, and the stop lever is articulated on the first shank, where the first shank provides a wall of the lock box.
