KEYHOLDING & ALARM RESPONSE
We’ve been responding
to incidents & intrusions
for over 10 years.
An efficient Keyholding and Alarm Response service is crucial for minimizing potential loss and damage in the event of an intrusion.
KEYHOLDING & ALARM RESPONSE
While security systems and alarms are vital for safeguarding your vacant property, it’s crucial that effective protocols are activated without delay if an incident occurs. The longer it takes for your vacant property to be attended to following an intrusion, the higher the risk of damage or theft.
We offer keyholding and alarm response services for vacant properties across the UK. Our 24/7 service ensures that your site is securely managed by SIA-licensed security personnel, with a professional keyholding service in place to activate pre-agreed protocols immediately in the event of an intrusion.
With KK Security’s keyholding service, your keys are kept safe, secure, and easily accessible to our skilled and trained security officers, who are ready to respond promptly when an issue is detected.
Once an incident is identified at your vacant property, our security officers are deployed to the site without delay. With nationwide coverage, you can rely on KK Security to have experienced personnel on-site as quickly as possible, no matter the time or location. Upon arrival, our officers will follow the pre-established protocols, thoroughly investigate the source of the alarm, and take appropriate action.
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.
