In particular, a mounting of the lock 7 is to be prevented in a position which is rotated relative to the approved position by 180 °. Thus, in the example shown, two measures have been taken to prevent the lock 7 from being mounted in an unintended position. This is particularly safe, but in principle also one of the above measures to prevent incorrect operation of the lock 7 is sufficient. Finally, it should be noted that the arrangement is not necessarily drawn to scale and therefore may have other proportions. Furthermore, the arrangement may also comprise more or fewer components than shown.
