ABSTRACT:
Automobile door lock assembly of push-button type including a rotatable element axially movable with a push-button and an annular element co-axial with the rotatable element. The rotatable element is formed with an axially extending slot having a shoulder defined by a wide and narrow portions of the slot. The annular element has a lug adapted to be placed in the slot of the rotatable element so that, when the lug is placed in the position engageable with the shoulder, the axial movement of the rotatable element is prohibited but, when the rotatable element is rotated to place the lug out of the path of the shoulder, the axial movement of the rotatable element is allowed to release the latch in the lock assembly. The annular element has manually actuatable lever so that it can be actuated into locking position without using a key.
