Abstract
So as to mount a lock mechanism in a vehicle door at least partly of sandwich construction the door in the region of its outer side and end wall is provided with a compartment which from the end wall surface extends into the door and has one adjacent or complementary recessed portion in the outer side wall of the door. The lock mechanism is made in the form of a cassette which comprises at least two main parts, i.e. one lock house part and one adjoining control part. The cassette and the commpartment with the adjoining recessed portion are designed in such a way relative to each other that in the mounted position of the cassette the outside of its lock house part connects to and forms part of the door's outer end wall surface whereas the outside of its control part connects to and forms part of the door's outer side wall surface.
