Stupid Question??? How to lock the doors?

This may be a stupid question, maybe not. The only way I have found to lock the doors on my 72 GMC, is to use the key from the outside. Is that the only way? On my 66 Chevelle, I can lock the doors by pushing the knob down and the inside and then holding the knob in on the outside when I shut it. Is there another way to lock the doors, other than using the key on the outside?

Two ways, outside with the key, or sit inside and push the knob down.

That's the way it was. Kept you from locking your keys inside.

Re: Stupid Question??? How to lock the doors?

it sure doesn't help when you break a key off inside of the tumbler
