Useful thread this...
Suzuki mostly on door lock too - Drivers side (in UK, passenger if LHD, until like Ray-Ray says only one door lock - then it's on that) always usually stamped near top/side of barrel.

Classic VW beetle, bus, karmann ghia etc - code on all locks & ignitions. Door locks/handles sometimes need the end cam removing to see code underneath.

Did a 1997 Celica the other day there, had to loosen 2 bolts inside to release the handle, push outward to reveal barrel, TOY43 code stamped near the top.
As a rule of thumb, any older Japanese vehicles I get - always worth removing door lock to check for code.

I'll test what I find in this thread, and post pics of any I find...

Perhaps we all mention instances where you will need a key to turn lock first?

On passenger door lock cylinder.
One trick I use is to use flexible scope to view door lock cylinder codes, whenever possible. I use this trick on older Mitsubishi eclipse and Chrysler equivalent Sebring(MIT1), also older Ford Probe/ Mazda 626. Sometimes it is easier if you have hand crank windows to lower before putting in scope. Small diameter scopes available for 75-125 USD china suppliers. You don't have to pull panel, so it saves time.
