Key holding refers to a security service where a trusted third party, such as a security company, holds the keys to a property and is responsible for securing it when the property owner or occupants are not present. Key holding is often used to provide peace of mind and to ensure that the property is properly secured when it is unoccupied, such as during non-business hours, holidays, or weekends. The key holding service will typically respond to alarm activations, lock and unlock the property, perform security checks, and conduct regular patrols. The goal of key holding is to provide a secure and reliable solution for securing properties when they are unoccupied and to provide a fast and efficient response in the event of an alarm activation or security incident.

The Benefits

• Increased Security: Key holding services provide an extra layer of security for a property, ensuring that keys are safely stored and accessible only by authorised personnel.
• Rapid Response: In the event of an alarm activation or other security emergency, key holding services ensure that authorised personnel can quickly and safely access the property.
• Reduced Risk: Key holding services minimise the risk of loss or theft of keys, ensuring that a property remains secure at all times.
• Peace of Mind: Key holding services provide peace of mind for property owners, who can be confident that their property is in safe hands.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Compared to full-time on-site security, key holding services can be a cost-effective solution that provides a high level of security coverage.
