Default Door Lock Wiring

I'm getting ready to add keyless entry to my 79 and before testing wiring for the locks can anyone help. If I use a relay to tap power to one wire on the lock solenoid will it lock both doors and unlock if applied to the other? Or, do I have to do this on both doors? Not really sure how these are wired or if they use a reversing polarity through the switch which would mean more detailed wiring for the keyless entry. Thanks any help.
