Protect your home the simple way with key holding
Ever left home and had that nagging thought—”Did I lock the door?” Or found yourself locked out without a spare key? Our Key holding services offer a secure, reliable solution, ensuring you always have access when you need it and that your home remains protected when you’re away.
In this post, we’ll explain how key holding works, why it’s essential for home security, and how it integrates with professional security patrols.
What is key holding?
Key holding is a professional security service where a trusted provider securely stores a spare key to your home. This means:
- You’ll always have access in case of lockouts
- Security officers can check your home while you’re away
- Emergency response teams can gain entry if needed
For homeowners, key holding is about convenience and security —ensuring that, whether you’re at home or away, your property is protected.
Why key holding services matter for home security
While many people leave spare keys and alarm codes with a neighbour, this isn’t always practical or secure. A professional key holding service ensures:
- 24/7 secure key storage – no risk of lost or stolen keys
- Immediate access in emergencies – no need to wait for a locksmith
- Professional property checks – our security officers can check your home if you’re away
- Quick response if an alarm is triggered – officers can enter home home to access the situation
For families, frequent travellers and homeowners who value peace of mind, a key holding service removes the hassle of key management while ensuring an extra layer of security.
