ABSTRACT:
Rotating claw or other vehicle door latch assembly has locking mechaism including a crank element (33) rotatable about a first axis (34) between angular positions at which the latch is locked or unlocked, a push-pull linkage (38), e.g. of a door sill button, being connected to a second axis (35) of said element for manual actuation thereof, deadlocking means (31,40) being selectively operable to position the crank element with said axis substantially in line with the direction of movement of the linkage so that the latter cannot be used to effect movement of said element which would unlock the latch.
