With the design of these handles/latches and lock mechanism, there really isn't a way to make power locks reliable. The key only locks the button on the outside handle, not actually locking the latch assembly. The inside lever will only lock the latch after the door is closed/latched.
We've been trying a couple different ideas here in our shop, using stock latches, handles, but yet to come up with anythng reliable. Also, if you were to lock the latch assy, and for some reason the battery went dead, you could not unlock the truck using a key, like a modern vehicle- that would not be good.
