ABSTRACT:
A two-way rotary lock is disclosed of a type suitable for use in locking a sliding door of an automative vehicle in either an open or closed position. This lock includes a lock body that defines first and second recesses positioned on opposed sides of the lock body to receive first and second strikers mounted to the side frames which define the door opening. A latch plate is rotatably mounted within the lock body, and this latch plate defines first and second tangs. Pivotal movement of the latch plate causes the first and second tangs to block the respective recesses and thereby capture the respective strikers in place. A single lock mechanism is used to secure the latch plate in position, and appropriate linkages allow either an inside handle or an outside handle to be used to release the latch plate and thereby release a captured one of the strikers from the lock body.
