If a given vehicle may be driven only by a certain player (I'm assuming this is for MP) then I would suggest that you use addAction to give the player the power to lock and unlock his own wagon.
Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play

heres an idea:
in the player's init field put:
owner = this

then on the car that he will unlock put:
this addaction ["Unlock Car","unlock.sqs"]

then this is the unlock.sqs:
Code: [Select]
_car = this select 0
_unit = _this select 1
_action = _this select 2

?!(_unit == owner):hint "This isn't your car!";exit
_car removeaction _action
_car lock false
;here you could add a sound like unlocking a door
_car addaction ["Lock car","lock.sqs"]
exit

and this will be lock.sqs, which is added by the unlock script
Code: [Select]
_car = _this select 0
_unit = _this select 1
_action = _this select 2
?!(_unit == owner):hint "This isn't your car!";exit
_car removeaction _action
_car lock true
_car addaction ["Unlock car","unlock.sqs"]
exit

that will work with the car starting locked, if it starts unlocked, then switch the action to the lock script
