All cars (in Canada at any rate) made after 2004 are required to have systems that unlock the doors if the air bags are activated.
If the doors become unlatched in a crash they would do so even if locked. The lock mech doesn't do anything different to the latch it just won't let it be opened without a key/fob. Locking your door will keep people out but does not make it any stronger.
