Can anyone tell me if you can if it’s possible to remove the locks on these cases and get a key cut to suit. The locks are unlocked, which I’m assuming helps a bit? Thank you. :beerjug:

Yes it is. At the base of the rotating lock barrel there is a lock-in tab which has to be depressed so that the barrel can be withdrawn. Once the barrel is removed it is possible to recode the locks by swopping the tabs around. This will enable the lock barrel to be coded to your key. So no need to get a key cut.
 
Indicated with red arrow is the locking tab. Note your barrels may not be the same as these, I’m using a library photo, but the last tab is always a locking tab to secure it in the lock assembly
