ABSTRACT:
A locking device for trunk lids comprises a latch for engaging with a striker, a ratchet for maintaining the engagement between the latch and the striker, an output member rotating by an electric motor against resilient force of a return spring, a moving bar provided between the ratchet and the output member so as to slide in a lateral direction, the moving bar having one end connected to the output member and the other end connected to a key cylinder, an engaging portion provided with the moving bar for engaging with the ratchet to release the ratchet from the latch when the moving bar laterally slides from an original position by the rotation of the output member or the key cylinder. The moving bar is restored to the original position by the resilient force of the return spring after the ratchet is disengaged from said latch.
