Abstract

A motor vehicle door lock comprising a locking mechanism that essentially consists of a rotary latch and a pawl. In addition, a lock retainer interacting with the locking mechanism is produced, which is introduced into the locking mechanism in order to achieve the closed position and rests on a load arm of the rotary latch in the closed position of the locking mechanism. According to the invention, the load arm is provided with a force deflection contour for the lock retainer. The force deflection contour changes a force direction acting on the load arm from the lock retainer, at least in the event of an excessive impact of the lock retainer.
