Keyholding & Alarm Response
What is Keyholding? – what you need to know
In a nutshell, Keyholding and Alarm Response is where we securely hold your keys to your home or business allowing us to respond to any threats whenever the need arises. All keys are securely logged and stored in line with BS7984, giving you added peace of mind.
Keyholding & Alarm Response services ensure that when your alarm is activated, an experienced fully trained and licensed Security Response Officer will carry out a full external and internal inspection to ensure that your property is safe.
Alarm Response – what you need to know
Our Alarm Response and Keyholding Service removes both risk and inconvenience of having to respond to out of hours activations. The alarm response service can be linked to any device capable of sending a signal out to an alarm receiving centre, whether that’s your intruder, fire or panic alarm, or even reacting to events caught on your monitored CCTV system.
We don’t have to hold your keys to provide alarm response services. Keys can be held at your property in a Key Safe, or you may wish for us to rendezvous with one of your staff members to respond in line with lone worker regulations.
