Hi John,



 The TR4&4A door locks can be activated (locked and unlocked) from both inside 
and outside the car (by a 'reverse push' of the inside door handle, and from 
the outside with a turn of the key, then pushing the plunger). 
Locking actually 'disables' the plunger's function by turning inner plunger so 
the 'ears' DON NOT engage - so pushing the plunger from outside would do 
nothing but go 'in and out' without contacting the latch lever inside door).
As I recall, it is quite tedious to get the lock mechanism 'innards' in the 
proper order - 90 degrees one way and it doesn't work, 90 degrees the other way 
and - presto.
The write up in Workshop Manual only describes how to get the mechanism 
installed in the door and set the proper gaps, alignment positions, and 
hook-ups.
With further patience and trial and error I am sure you could figure out the 
proper orientation of inner workings of the mechanism, so that both the key and 
interior door handle will properly lock/unlock your doors.
Good luck - it's nice to have the locks work!
FYI; the small end of the exterior door handles (where the forward-most screw 
goes) usually has the 3 number 'key code' stamped there if you are trying to 
match door handle keys.

 Fairly certain they are together correctly, but the unlock function doesn't 
work.
