I like that the actuation is linear in door lock motors but from the specs that I've seen (hard to find specs on them for some reason) it looks like they won't be enough. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough but the most I've found was capable of 8lbs of force...

8 pounds is quite a bit of force. I'll bet it's good enough as long as you weren't shifting under full load. If your robot didn't have a pneumatics system for other things, it would be a shame to pay that pneumatics weight tax just for those little cylinders.
This one does 10 pounds.
