There should be a check valve that isolates the lock system from all other vacuum consumers. It has three ports - 1 on one side and 2 on the other. The single port goes to the vacuum supply, while the two ports go to the vacuum reservoir and the lock circuit. If this is connected properly and the check valve is working, then the door locks would not be affected.

Now that I've just typed all that, if the shutoff is leaking so bad that you're not achieving maximum vacuum in the reservoir, say only 10" instead of 20+, then yes everything would be affected.
