SECURE KEYHOLDING TAILORED TO YOUR PREMISES
Professional keyholding provides a safer and more controlled way to manage access to your premises outside normal operating hours.
By securely holding designated keys and following agreed site procedures, Guardsman Security Services can support businesses where authorised access, alarm attendance or out-of-hours entry may be required.
Keyholding services are particularly suitable for:
- Offices and commercial premises
- Retail sites
- Vacant and unoccupied properties
- Warehouses and industrial sites
- Residential developments
- Construction and development sites
- Multi-site businesses and property portfolios
Our keyholding arrangements can be tailored to the access requirements, operating hours and security procedures of each site.
WHY PROFESSIONAL KEYHOLDING MATTERS
Professional keyholding helps reduce the risks associated with staff holding keys personally and provides a more controlled approach to out-of-hours access.
It can help to:
- Reduce the need for employees to attend alarm activations
- Provide secure access outside normal operating hours
- Support alarm response and site attendance
- Help protect vacant or unoccupied premises
- Provide controlled access for authorised personnel
- Maintain clear records of incidents and site attendance
Our keyholding service is designed to provide businesses with a reliable and practical way to manage access, alarm activations and out-of-hours security requirements.
