I have a suggestion, but it's one you might not expect.
I've always owned at least one convertible since I could drive, and from that experience, I would suggest you NEVER lock the doors. In fact, if the weather isn't an issue, I would suggest you either leave the top down, or a window down when you leave it unattended.
Unless you carelessly leave something really valuable in the car, or spend too much on audio systems, whatever someone might take from your car is worth a fraction of replacing your top. If there is something worth taking in sight, your top will get sliced and the item taken anyway. If there is nothing in sight, but your car is locked, your top will get sliced to look for what's so valuable that you locked the car.
Use the locked trunk for anything valuable or tempting. Just get in the habit of never leaving anything out that someone might find tempting. After 30+ years, the only thing that was ever taken from one of my rag tops was a pair of sunglasses I once left on the console [EDIT - After thinking about it, it's closer to 40 years...ouch].
Leave it wide open, it gets a certain deference and respect as a nice car, whereas if you button everything up and lock it and alarm it, there MUST be something worth taking.

I bought two remote controls (DBC 100842) from Heritage Jaguar in England but I haven't opened them as, too late. I realized that my car (92 XJS convertible) wasn't fitted with an alarm. I was wondering if they would operate the remote door locks. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you look at the schematic for central locking:

It looks like there is no way for the components to receive an radio signal without the security module.
