The invention relates to a motor vehicle door locking system, comprising a motor vehicle door lock (1) on a motor vehicle door (2) and a lock retainer (3), interacting therewith, on a motor vehicle body (4), or vice versa, according to patent application DE 10 2014 007 119.7, characterized in that a hold-back element (5) is provided which keeps clear an inlet opening (6) for the lock retainer (3) in the motor vehicle door lock (1) even in the event of deformations of the motor vehicle door (2) caused by an accident, wherein the hold-back element (5) keeps the opening clear on account of a shaping of the hold-back element.

Upon detecting that an operation knob is operated from a lock position to an unlock position within a set time Tset_a and is operated to the lock position based on an input from a potential sensor 15, a control portion 13 of an electronic lock device switches from self-lock control to self-lock temporary stopping control.

A door lock for a household electrical appliance has an electric door switch with two contact elements, a pusher and a pusher control element. The pusher presses against a first contact element that holds the door switch in one of the two switching states. When the pusher is displaced from a first pusher position to a second pusher position, the door switch transfers into the other of the two switching states. The pusher control element, which is movable relative to the pusher, moves from one of the two control positions to the other on closing of the door. The pusher control element has a control path where a first path section blocks the pusher against displacement from the first pusher position to the second pusher position and a second path section provides the pusher with space for a displacement from the first pusher position to the second pusher position.

Upon detecting that an operation knob is operated from a lock position to an unlock position within a set time Tset_a and is operated to the lock position based on an input from a potential sensor 15, a control portion 13 of an electronic lock device switches from self-lock control to self-lock temporary stopping control.
