Re: door not locking correctly
You are locking the door with the key aren't you? You have to use the key to lock the doors. If so try pushing in on the door while turning the key to make sure the lock goes all the way into the locked position.

Re: door not locking correctly
Had a similar problem with my truck. I wasn't able to find the cause, but did find that if I attached a spring inside the door to always keep constant "down" or locking direction on the lock button mechanism, the door would stay locked. An imperfect solution, but as you said, scary that it's not secure otherwise.

Re: door not locking correctly
Try pushing in on the door as you lock it. See if problem persists.

Check this thread out. Your problem isn't exactly the same but I think it could still cause what you are experiencing. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=741123 LockDoc
