Keyholding Service

We offer a keyholding service for anyone who would like us to hold a key to their property, whether it is residential or commercial. In a professional sense, keyholding is the act of keeping a spare key to the premise for use in the event the primary key is lost or stolen.

Sometimes it is useful to have a key securely held. For example, if you are at work, a tradesperson could call and collect a key from us rather than you taking a day’s annual leave to wait in.

A keyholding company will respond to your alarm being activated, taking the hassle out of having to respond to false alarm activations and the dangers of responding to serious incidents.

A keyholder must:

  • Be available and carry the keys constantly
  • Understand the mechanics of how to operate the alarm system on the property
  • Respond as quickly as possible in line with ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers) guidelines
  • Always have in possession relevant emergency contact details in the event of a serious incident
