Abstract
A device for actuating a lock on a vehicle door has a support mounted on a vehicle door. A lock cylinder mount, or a decoy, is mounted on the support. A screw secures the mount when mounted on the support. The mount has a shoulder engaging a counter shoulder of the support at least partially in the mounting position of the mount. The screw has an actuating end for moving the screw into a release position and a locking position. In the release position, the mount is removable from and mountable on the support. In the locking position, the mount is secured. The mount has a threaded receptacle for the screw so that the screw is part of the mount. The support has a screw support surface against which the actuating end of the screw rests in the locking position of the screw for securing the mount.
