What is Keyholding and Alarm Response?
Keyholding and Alarm Response is a service put in place to respond to alarm activations at your business premises, while you rest easy at night. This also increases secruity at your site, saves you time and money while giving your employees and you, peace of mind.
Why do I need an Keyholding and Alarm Response service?
Our Keyholding and Alarm Response service should be a key part of your business security strategy. Not only does it help to keep your business premises safe and secure, it also gives you and your employees peace of mind. We hold a spare set of keys to your business premises. These keys are coded anonymously, sealed and secured within our 24-hour key safes. Only released under strictly monitored procedures.
Many business owners and their employees are on-call to deal with alarm activations out of hours at their place of work. This comes with a whole host of potential problems. Not only does it disturb work/life balance, but it also puts you and your employees at risk.
Using PatrolGuard Keyholding and Alarm Response service means you no longer need to worry about missing time with your family, enjoying a relaxing evening with a drink or wondering who and what you might find when you reach the property.

Your building is secure
With PatrolGuard acting as your main key holder, one of our mobile patrol units will be quickly dispatched to your premises in the event of any alarm activation. We will find out why the alarm activated, and quickly resolve any issues. We will take responsibility for the building and ensure that it is secure, calling the Police if necessary. We will reset the alarm, and leave you a report for the morning.
Your staff are safe
No concerns about Director’s responsibilities (or liabilities); your staff are not in danger and their sleep is not interrupted. Our people are robust, intelligent and well-trained, and armed with common-sense. Our responders are monitored and tracked by our Duty Manager, who will send backup if necessary. One way or another, if there is a problem we will escalate it, until it is fixed.
