They seem to fit the criteria, less than an inch stroke, 10w (probably)? I'm sure a Delphi would have real details. Or am I just wishing here.
Don't use the Fisher-Price motors in any application, since they're not legal in 2013. (There are several can motors from BaneBots and AndyMark that are legal, which superficially resemble the Fisher-Price motors.)

As for electric door lock actuators with motors in them, they don't fall under the solenoid rule, so their stroke and power rating are immaterial. (It's a solenoid actuator rule, not an electric linear actuator rule.)
