ABSTRACT:
A vehicle door latch device comprises a latch body, a metal back plate fixed to a rear side of the latch body, a locking mechanism provided on the rear side of the latch body and displaceable between a locked condition and an unlocked condition. The locking mechanism has a main lock lever which has a base part rotatably mounted to the back plate and an inner part extending toward an interior side of the vehicle door so as to be connected to an inside lock button, and a sub lock lever which has a base part rotatably mounted to the back plate and an outer part extending toward an exterior side of the door so as to be connected to a key cylinder. The back plate has a protecting part located on a front side of the outer part of the sub lock lever so as to prevent the outer part of the sub lock lever from making contact with the main lock lever when the outer part of the sub lock lever is deformed.
