Door locks will not lock

Both doors on mine 69 c10 will not lock. I can push the locks down and close the doors but as soon as I push on the door handle button door will open. Any ideas what might cause this? I would rather not take the door panels off untill I have a replacement parts. I have the original door panels and I dont want to rip them by taking them on and off. Thanks

If it is original, it is idiot proof. You have to use the key to lock/unlock it. Eric

I thought you just had to hold in the button on the outside when closing the doors.... maybe mine are just busted
