I think, if I remember correctly, that the WKS BS locks are similar in set up to the Walsall / Keypsafe / Abus 5 detainer locks with the 9 cut key and can be opened non-destructively easily enough with a curtain pick and practice. Not 100% sure on the WKS cylinders though. They could possibly also be Walsall branded under a different name.

spot on matt , WKS locks are the walsall A55 and A56 lock under the WKS name in black.
These pick similar to an ERA invicible with curtain pick, but the SV decoder is idiot proof on it and is a swift 2 minute decode and open.
