What is keyholding services?

Keyholding services in Picket Post — we securely hold your keys and attend alarms and lock-ups, so no member of your staff ever attends a dark site alone.

As part of our wider mobile security in Picket Post, this service is delivered by officers who are trained, licensed and briefed specifically to your premises. Mobile security uses SIA-licensed officers in marked vehicles to patrol your premises, respond to alarm activations and carry out lock/unlock duties. It gives you a professional security presence without the cost of a full-time static guard.

Picket Post has its own security picture — the mix of premises, footfall and risk across South East isn't the same as anywhere else. We deploy officers who understand the area and tailor keyholding services to what your Picket Post site actually needs, rather than a generic template.
