Abstract

The invention relates to a lock module. The aim of the invention is to provide a lock module which can contribute to a reduction in the complexity of assembly. In order to achieve said aim, the lock module comprises a plurality of components, that is to say at least two components, which are selected from the following: a lock having a locking mechanism consisting of a pawl and a rotary latch, in particular a servolock; a drive, in particular an electric drive for the lock, particularly preferably for the servolock; an actuating lever system; a locking lever system; and a handle module having an opening handle, in particular an outer opening handle. The lock includes at least one drive which is movably mounted within the lock module. The drive can therefore be moved relative to the other one or more components of the lock module.
