Keyholding FAQs

What is keyholding and alarm response? 

Keyholding and alarm response is a security service where a reputable provider of keyholding and alarm response services keeps a set of your property’s keys and reacts to any alarm activations to keep the area safe. A professional security officer is sent by the keyholding business to investigate and handle the situation when an alarm goes off. This includes determining the reason of the alert, calling emergency services, and, if required, making arrangements for a locksmith. 

 

Why should I choose professional keyholding service? 

Using our professional keyholding service guarantees that your property is protected 24/7 by qualified and experienced mobile response officers. Our services take the risks away from employees or yourself when responding to alarm activations, particularly during off-hours or in more dangerous high-risk situations. Additionally, we see that a lot of the time, commercial properties require professional keyholding and alarm response to comply with insurance requirements. 

 

How can keyholding services improve security for my business? 

By guaranteeing that alarms are responded to quickly and reducing the length of time a building remains unguarded after an alarm trigger, keyholding services provide an added layer of security for businesses. On top of that, our mobile response officers can conduct inspections of your premises to identify any potential weak points and act before any damage occurs. 

 

How does your keyholding service work for residential properties? 

Homeowners can also benefit from our keyholding service in addition to companies. In the event that your alarm goes off while you’re away from home, on vacation, or at work, we make sure a qualified security guard comes to investigate and make sure your property is safe. 

 

 Do you offer mobile patrol services as part of your alarm response plan? 

Yes, we offer mobile patrols and surveillance as part of our keyholding and alarm response service. Our officers perform either random or scheduled patrols of your property to make sure everything is secure, and to discourage any criminal activity in the area. Businesses and homes in high crime areas particularly benefit from mobile patrols as they are an excellent deterrent. 

 

What types of properties do you provide keyholding and alarm response for? 

We offer alarm response and keyholding services for a variety of properties, such as: 

 

  • Commercial buildings for example offices, warehouses, and retail stores. 
  • Residential properties/homes for homeowners who wish to have peace of mind when they are away, particularly those who live in high crime areas. 
  • Industrial facilities that may require frequent security checks or monitoring. 
  • Vacant properties and require routine inspections to keep squatters and vandals out. 

“I just want to mention what an improvement there has been since Capricorn Security took over the unlock/lock services at two of our sites. I had the pleasure of meeting your security officer a couple of days and want to highlight how professional & polite he was!”
