handling incidents and intrusions
with expertise.
A reliable Keyholding & Alarm Response service is crucial in reducing the potential loss and damage that may result from an intrusion.
KEYHOLDING SERVICE & ALARM RESPONSE
Security systems and alarms are vital for protecting your business, but prompt action is necessary if an incident occurs. The longer it takes to respond to an intrusion, the higher the risk of damage or theft.
We offer keyholding and alarm response services across the UK, providing 24/7 protection with SIA licensed security personnel. Our professional keyholding service ensures that pre-established protocols are swiftly followed in the event of an intrusion.
With KK Security’s keyholding service, your keys are securely stored and easily accessible to our trained security officers, who are ready to act promptly at the first sign of trouble.
When an alarm is triggered, our security officers are immediately dispatched to your site. With nationwide coverage, we’re always nearby, ensuring that experienced personnel are on-site quickly. Once there, our officers will follow the pre-agreed protocols, thoroughly assess the situation, and take appropriate action to address the alarm activation.
Why use a keyholding service?
There are numerous advantages to using KK Security’s keyholding service. Our operatives are SIA licensed, and having a reliable keyholding service can lower your insurance premiums, while also ensuring that your emergency protocols are followed accurately. Additionally, it reduces the risk to your staff by preventing them from having to respond to potential incidents themselves.
Let KK Security manage your emergency response, minimizing the risk of theft and damage by ensuring that highly trained and experienced security officers are promptly dispatched to your premises as soon as an intrusion is detected.
KK Security's keyholders
Our keyholding security officers are fully SIA licensed, extensively trained, and undergo a comprehensive development program to maintain the high standards of the Prime Secure keyholding service.
Incident response
Our experienced security officers are SIA licensed and trained to handle situations where intruders may still be present on-site. We work closely with you to establish a set of protocols and procedures that will be activated as soon as our security team arrives following an intrusion. The response actions of a KK Security security professional are always tailored to your specific premises and business needs.
In the event of a security breach, our alarm response service is immediately triggered, and a team of professional security officers will be dispatched to your site. If necessary, we will also coordinate with emergency services.
How quickly can our keyholders respond?
With nationwide coverage, our keyholding security officers are ready to respond swiftly to any intrusion detected at your construction site. We handle all operations in-house, meaning your site will only be attended by experienced and highly trained KK Security keyholders, with no outsourcing to local companies.
Each of our staff members undergoes comprehensive security training, equipping them with the expertise needed to handle various alarm activations and respond effectively to any situation.
Using employees as keyholders
Some business owners or managers choose to designate a staff member as the keyholder to save on costs. However, with keyholding services typically costing around £1 a day, this option offers minimal savings and can ultimately be a false economy.
In our experience, it’s unlikely that an employee will provide the same level of service as a qualified security professional. Given the high value of equipment and materials on-site, any failure to follow proper protocols can lead to significant financial loss and delays while replacing stolen or damaged items.
Even in the case of false alarms, relying on a professional security service for rapid response ensures your staff won’t be left exhausted and frustrated the next day.
Opening & closing
A keyholding service primarily involves the responsibility of opening and closing the premises. When opening the property, the keyholder must inspect the premises, deactivate the security system, and turn on the lights. Upon closing, they will follow the reverse procedure—activating the intruder alarm system, ensuring the property is secure, and locking up.
At KK Security, our keyholding services are fully customizable to meet your specific security needs, ensuring a tailored approach to your requirements.
Protecting your keys
Keyholding involves the secure protection of keys 24/7, along with the responsibility to know the security code(s) for the alarm(s). The keyholder must ensure that both the keys and codes are stored together in a secure location. By contracting KK Security for keyholding services, you can rest assured that your keys will be handled securely and professionally at all times.
As one of the leading security companies, we offer a wide range of professional keyholding services, tailored to meet the unique security needs of each client.
Emergency contact
Since security company keyholders have the ability to reset the alarm system, they are often designated as emergency contacts for local police or private security firms monitoring the property. It’s crucial to consider these responsibilities when selecting the right individual for a keyholding role. They must be reliable, responsible, and readily available to act when needed.
