Avoid like the plague! Keys don't work, staff are feral. Not an ounce of customer service between the lot of them

If I could give 10 stars I would, fantastic service and lovely professional people. They came and sorted my broken lock in the same day. The only locksmiths I will ever use going forward. Thank you so much!

Be so CAREFUL, they make you pay twice. Keys were ordered & paid for over the phone, on arrival, they insisted "No, systems says no, " until proven, wasted time with them. Only go here coz special keys required. Not recommended!

Great service, professional and friendly. Got some keys cut for my company here - had quite a large order and some bespoke requests, Kim was responsive and knowledgable about the process that needed to be followed. All the staff were friendly and helpful from the start right to the end. Would highly recommend Court to anyone who requires similar services or even something as simple as getting a key cut.
