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!

We had a great experience from start to finish with a faulty balcony door, we're based in Soho and like a lot of places it just wasn't safe to leave it as was. Court Security were really helpful and quick and I felt like a valued customer from start to finish, the door ended up being in worse repair than I first thought so the engineer didn't just do some shoddy quick fix but advised on a longer term and more practical solution. We now have a lovely safe door again and couldn't be happier with the service we received :) nice team, great service and good value!
