Lock for a vehicle door

A lock for a movable door or rear flap of a vehicle, having an actuating drive (10), which does not operate manually, for driving a component of the lock, wherein for driving the component, a further actuating drive (13), which likewise does not operate manually, for driving the component is provided, wherein the component is a detent pawl (4) or a rotary latch (2).

A lock for a movable door or rear flap of a vehicle, having an actuating drive (10), which does not operate manually, for driving a component of the lock, wherein for driving the component, a further actuating drive (13), which likewise does not operate manually, for driving the component is provided, wherein whenever the first actuating drive is switched on, at the same time the further actuating drive is also always switched on.

A lock for a door of a vehicle, comprising a latch for locking the door, a first electrically motorized drive and a second electrically motorized drive for releasing the latch to unlock the door, wherein the first motorized drive comprises a first electric motor and the second motorized drive comprises a second electric motor, the lock further comprising a gear train interconnecting both of said first and said second motors to a latch release mechanism of the lock, and wherein said gear train provides a relatively fast low-torque driving of the latch release mechanism upon energization of said first motor, said gear train providing a relatively slow high-torque driving of the latch release mechanism upon energization of said second motor;

• and wherein the gear train has step-down gears, and the step-down gears between the second motorized drive (13) and the release mechanism has a higher step-down ratio than the step-down gears between the first motorized drive (10) and the release mechanism.
