Another option would be this

Actions to Run
Wait for Expression: Back Door Lock locked
IF (Back Porch Light in on) Wait for Expression: mZone... inactive --> duration: 0:10:00
Off: Back Porch Fans

This is close to what you have except it'll turn off the fans immediately when the door is locked if the light are off. If the lights are on it'll wait for 10 minutes of inactivity. Note that the IF is a simple condition so THEN and END-IF are not used.
