Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2317043A2] In one aspect, the invention is directed to a closure latch system for a vehicle door that is closable against two spaced apart strikers. Closing the door against the two spaced apart strikers permits a vehicle door that is relatively tall or relatively wide to more securely be closed. The closure latch system includes two spaced apart ratchets which are mechanically connected and controller via a single point. Both ratchets may be opened via a single outside door handle (if provided), or a single inside door handle (if provided), and are lockable and unlockable together (if locking is provided). However, each ratchet is openable and closable independent of the opening/closing state of the other ratchet so that there does not need to be precise timing or synchronization between the opening and closing of the two ratchets relative to each other.
