Top 5 Reasons to Use a Key-Holding Service in 2017
March 24, 2017
For anyone with extensive business premises that are inactive at night, a flexible, insurance compliant, key-holding service is a must.
Opening Up – So, how does key-holding work?
A set of your keys is taken and receipted, sealed in a secure compartment, and only used in the event of a night-time call-out. A professional response unit can access the keys, and any problems can be dealt with rapidly and with minimum fuss.
The Key to an Easy Life – Why choose Key-Holding as an option?
Here are five good reasons why a professional key holding service can give you peace of mind:
- It can be frightening and cause unnecessary stress for individual staff members to take your keys home at night. What happens if there’s a callout or if they themselves are broken into and the keys were stolen?
- If your premises are broken into, it can all be sorted out with minimum disruption. No unnecessary late night call-outs, most things can be dealt with there and then by security.
- Your staff safety is not compromised and your insurance requirements are fully met with a trustworthy key-holding service.
- Whatever the time of day or night, a mobile patrol unit can respond rapidly to any alarm activation without the need to disturb your staff or cause unnecessary worry for what may be a false alarm. When looking at key-holding services, ask them their response times and actions – get them to spell out how it works and what they do!
- With quick access to the keys, the security contractor can deal with most problems themselves. There’s no need to call the police unless a break-in is confirmed.
