What do I do if my PIN code doesn’t work?
- Check your booking is on the correct day and time.
- Are you entering the code within your allocated booking time? (The code will only let you in on the hour exactly for your booking time. e.g. booked for 10am it will not let you in at 9.50am, you have to wait for 10am).
- Make sure you press the * key (star key) once then the six-digit code.
What do the tones/sounds mean on the keypad?
- Two short tones (with a blue light displayed) signals that the code has been input correctly.
- A short tone (with a red light displayed) signals that the code has been input incorrectly.
- A long tone (with a red light displayed) signals that the code has been input incorrectly three times. The keypad has now been locked, and you will need to wait one minute before trying again.
I think I’ve done everything correctly, but I still have an issue.

When entering or exiting the courts, please ensure the gate shuts fully behind you.
