These locking members can enter into mating locking parts on the frame side, both as a result of the turning of the door handle and of the releasing of at least one force accumulator (55) acting on the drive-rods, the releasing of the force accumulator (55) being effected by means of a release (63) actuated, upon the closing of the door, by the frame or the like, the release (63) and/or the force accumulator (55) being arranged behind the freely extending cuff rail sections (1 ').
