1960 Door Locks

How is the door lock SUPPOSED to work on a 1960 F100? From the inside, it seems that sometimes if I push the lever forward, it will lock on the outside, but other times it won't. Is there some kind of trick?
Also, is there any way to make it lock without the key from the outside if I park it in a parking lot or something?

When you move the inside door handle forward, the door lock remote control, that the handle attaches to, trips a lever on the latch, which locks the door.

So, if the door doesn't always lock, either the latch and/or the remote control is worn.

The following parts are NOS (new, old stock) not reproductions, and fit all 1957/60 F100/1100's.

B7C8121818A .. Door Lock Remote Control-Right/Left is the same / Obsolete.

Wesley Obsolete Parts in Liiberty KY has 1 = 606-787-5293

Dennis Carpenter in Concord NC has 1 = 704-786-8139
-------------------------------------------------------
B9TB8121813B .. Left Door Latch Assy / Obsolete

Green Sales Co. in Cincinnati OH has 8 = 800-543-4959

Wesley Obsolete Parts has 6.
------------------------------
B9TB8121812B .. Right Door latch Assy / Obsolete

Miller Obsolete Parts in Binghamton NY has 3 = 800-546-7278

Green Sales has 16.

Wesley Obsolete Parts has 7.

AFAIK, there's no way to lock the doors on Ford trucks prior to 1968 without the key.
