I suppose it would, but to what end? I mean are you talking door locks, trunk/glovebox locks or ignition locks? What is your purpose for wanting to see such a lock exposed? They are really not all that interesting nor complicated. My best advice to you is go to a local salvage yard and buy a set to play with. That is how I learned about them, I went, got a set, took them apart put them back together picked with few pins, picked with all pins etc.
Come on man, show some gumption

If you are looking for some good resources on automotive locks, just run a google search for something like

"Sidebar wafer lock GM" These locks are produced with 6 or 10 sidebar wafers, I'm sure you can find a cutaway somewhere.

Other than the wafers, they might just be plain pin tumbler locks. The locks inside all cars are pretty simple and look pretty much like a door lock; nothing spectacular.
