DOOR LOCK DEVICE

According to this door lock device when there is a malfunction in which the open link is jammed by dust and therefore does not move from the lock waiting position to the unlock waiting position even when an unlock action is performed when a lever that is interlocked to an outside handle is turned a sliding contact tilt guide provided on a support body slides and makes sliding contact with the open link and forcibly tilts the open link and as a result it becomes unnecessary to increase the energizing force of a torsion coil spring as a precaution against such malfunction. This makes it possible to reduce the operational resistance when the door lock device is put into the locked state.
