What Is Keyholding and Alarm Response?
Keyholding and alarm response is a professional security service designed to protect your business premises 24/7. Instead of business owners or staff being disturbed in the middle of the night, a trained security guard responds immediately to alarm activations. This not only increases the security of your site but also saves you time, reduces risks to your employees, and provides complete peace of mind.
At PatrolGuard, our licensed team of security professionals are approved by the
Security Industry Authority (SIA). We ensure every call-out is handled quickly, safely, and in line with strict industry standards.
Why Does Your Business Need Keyholding and Alarm Response?
Including a professional keyholding and alarm response service as part of your security strategy is essential for safeguarding your business. Our team securely holds a spare set of your keys, stored in sealed, anonymous codes within 24-hour monitored key safes. These keys are only released through strict procedures to guarantee maximum security.
Without professional support, business owners or employees are left on-call to respond to alarms out of hours. This creates several problems:
- Disrupted work-life balance.
- Increased personal risk when attending potentially dangerous situations.
- Lost productivity the following day.
By using PatrolGuard’s trusted keyholding and alarm response service, you remove these risks completely. Our trained security guards, licensed by the Security Industry Authority, respond on your behalf. That means you can spend evenings with your family, relax without interruption, and know your property is being protected by experienced professionals.

Your building is secure
With PatrolGuard acting as your main key holder, one of our mobile patrol units will be quickly dispatched to your premises in the event of any alarm activation. We will find out why the alarm activated, and quickly resolve any issues. We will take responsibility for the building and ensure that it is secure, calling the Police if necessary. We will reset the alarm, and leave you a report for the morning.
Your staff are safe
No concerns about Director’s responsibilities (or liabilities); your staff are not in danger and their sleep is not interrupted. Our people are robust, intelligent and well-trained, and armed with common-sense. Our responders are monitored and tracked by our Duty Manager, who will send backup if necessary. One way or another, if there is a problem we will escalate it, until it is fixed.
