Cohen's was unable to fix the type of problem we had, however they went above and beyond in not only finding us someone that could help, but also gathering all of the information needed and providing it to the other company. Absolutely fantastic response time and customer service from a company that was getting nothing from us, I will definitely use them in the future if I'm in need of a key shop.

My wife and I recently rented an older house in North Haven that had a very old type of key. Home Depot wasn't able to copy it, so I took it to Cohen's. They knew right away what kind of key it was and could copy it with no issues. The staff was friendly and courteous. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes with functional key copies! I'd highly recommend this shop for your key copying needs.
