The Ford Barn

I have never been able to get the driver's side door to lock on my 1929 Tudor. Today, I took the upholstery panel out and loosened the "slide" lock so it moves back and forth, but that didn't lock the door. Upon looking inside, I don't understand how the slide lock engages with the door latch assembly to keep it from operating (in the locked position). There is nothing that I can see that connects the sliding lock to the door latch. Do I have the wrong door latch (although it fits the door and, of course, operates well with both the outside door handle and the inside door handle)? Or am I missing something that goes from the slide lock to the door latch? I checked the parts catalogs and don't see anything listed that I don't have. Sorry for the confusing question and thanks in advance!!
