Abstract
A lock assembly for an automobile door comprises a lock mechanism, arranged to be offered up and connected to the door from the inside and an escutcheon arranged to be offered up to the door from the outside and to be fixed to the lock mechanism by means of a U-shaped clip, access to which is subsequently prevented by the installation of the door handle. This facilitates the production process, as it enables the finishing step of applying the escutcheon to be delayed.
