Lock for a shutter or door

Abstract

The invention relates to a lock for a shutter or door, particularly for a vehicle, with a safety catch consisting of a rotary latch and at least one catch for locking the rotary latch, particularly with a deadlock lever for blocking the catch in the main holding position with a deadlock lever axle and / or catch axle arranged above the rotary latch axle. The occurrence of false closures can be avoided because the deadlock lever would be aligned by the force of gravity alone such that it would not be in the deadlock position and / or the catch would be aligned such that it would not be in the main holding position.
