Keyholding Services
What is Keyholding?
Keyholding is a professional security service in which a UK Regulated and Accredited security company hold a set of your premises’ keys and respond to any alarm activations and intruder alerts out of hours on your behalf.
Our Keyholding and Alarm Response Services are provided in line with British Standard BS7984-1:2016 and all responding security officers are Fully SIA Trained and Licensed and vetted in line with British Standard BS7858:2019.
What is Alarm Response?
In the event of an alarm activation at your premises, or intruder alert, we will dispatch our SIA trained security officers (your keyholders) to attend your site immediately. Once they arrive at your site they will investigate the cause of the alarm activation. They will then determine the appropriate action to deal with the alarm call out. This could be calling the emergency services, rectifying a ‘false call out’, or securing the premises after a break in.
You will receive a full digital report with photographs from our security officers detailing the alarm response service and what measures were taken.
