There are numerous makes of aftermarket central locking systems...
It seems that most of the models have exactly the same attachment points and shaft lengths as well as movement path. The outlook of the actuators are bit different, the Saab original (I believe it's "Kiekert") is a bit bulky/fat "square" box. Most of the aftermarket actuators are smaller and have a "lump" where the motor is. But they'll fit...
One needs just a bit knowledge of electricity and some skills/cheap tools for crimping the connectors...
The cheapest one I have found cost me around 7 bucks (="Welleman")... (yes, it still works after 1½ years!), try auto shops and Electronics shops... However if you have any doubts then it's better to take the original actuator as model while buying the new...
The actuator has just a small electrical motor and gears inside. The motor by time gets bad (it gets rusted up, brushes finish or just anything that happens to a small motor). Gears are made of plastic and last... The TrueMan(tm) would just open the actuator and find a replacement motor (which is hard to find)... ;-)
