ABSTRACT:
A door lock for an automotive vehicle includes a door lock striker fixedly secured to the vehicle body, a base provided on the vehicle door, a latch freely rotatably supported on the base by a pin and adapted to engage and disengage the striker, a silencer provided on the latch, and arcuate projections provided on the silencer and base and having the pin at the center thereof, the arcuate projections being brought into overlapping relation with each other so as to force the latch away from the base when the door is fully closed. Further, the latch is integrally molded to include a resilient projection at a portion where the striker and the latch engage each other, the projection being located near a position occupied by the striker when the door is fully closed, whereby a resilient press-fitted relation is established between the striker and the latch to eliminate abnormal sounds caused by looseness of the latch in the thickness direction thereof.
