What is Keyholding?

Rather than trusting your spare key to a neighbour, our keyholding service offers 24-hour backup you can rely on. A copy of your key will be held at our secure key facility, with our licensed, trained and thoroughly vetted key guards on standby.

It's a white glove service, so whether you've locked yourself out, think you've left the oven on, or want to arrange for regular security visits whilst you're on holiday, you can trust us to act with discretion. And speed - we've even whisked a forgotten passport to the airport just in the nick of time.

Keyholding Wherever You Are

At Home

Peace of mind isn't just about security: it's knowing that you have back-up whenever you need it. That's why our rapid response isn't only to triggered alarms, but also to life's unexpected moments. Our licensed key guards are on call 24/7, to react even when the emergency is an unexpected delivery, giving access to a trusted tradesman, geraniums that need watering, or a forgotten passport. If it matters to you, it matters to us.

For Your Business

Think of our key guards as an extra member of your team, on hand to lock up, give a contractor access, handle and deliver documents, or carry out routine security check-ins. We can tailor our packages to suit shops, offices, or commercial premises: for small independents and big business, we're here to help.
