A dependably operating locking arrangement can be produced if in end areas facing away from the lock, the locking bars are hingedly coupled to respective lever arms of a locking lever. The locking lever has a second lever arm which is coupled to the first lever arm in the area of a pivot hinge and has an inclined pad. The pivot axis of the pivot hinge is arranged at a distance with respect to a push direction of the associated locking bar.
