The AA seem to be the experts at opening vehicles without expensive
damage as they have a database of keys and how to create one.

Not sure why they would call a normal locksmith, unless they are to
cheapskate to sign up their drivers to a motoring organisation of
course :-)

Probably an auto locksmith.

As has been suggested, these probably aren't the standard van locks,
hence needing a specialist and taking longer.

I think most cars (and maybe standard vans?) can be got into using the
shaped metal strip down the side of the window to release the catch
technique
