Default how do you? 68 door lock question

This may be the saddest question ever posted but

When unlocking the doors on a 68 do you just insert the key and turn or do you also have to push the button in then turn the key.

I've had this car since 89 and never had a reason to lock it.

I had the locks rebuilt and don't know if they or I did something wrong but I can't unlock the car from outside. :o

Just put the key in and turn. No need to push the button in to unlock it.

To lock & unlock you only need to turn the key. To actually open the the door, you need to push the button as that activates the door latch on the 68.

Yes really!

Well I guess there were times that I should've, like the hotel at BG in 2002 at the sharkfest but that would've meant that I would've had to put the tops on too
