Keyholding and Alarm Response Galashiels

Every business must register at least two key holders, one of which must be able to attend to alarm activation’s whenever they occur and should be reachable on a 24-hour basis.

The key holders must have an understanding of how the alarm system works and must have all the contact information to deal with their alarm receiving centre including passwords. In addition, they must be able to attend quickly, especially in the event of false alarms or police response to your property may be withdrawn.

At Keysure, we take care of all of this for you so you can have complete peace of mind.

How does it work?

Keysure’s on-call officers can attend in the event of alarm activation, access the building and deal with any issues or causes of the activation whether it is due to an actual break in or for other reasons, such as power loss, weather conditions, or a system fault.

Mobile security patrols offer an alternative where a static security guard is not deemed necessary, while still providing an effective security solution to help prevent theft, vandalism or any other criminal activity and respond quickly and professionally should there be an emergency.

Mobile patrols are an incredibly effective option for most commercial sites, as they offer 24/7 construction site security and retail security on a regular basis. Keysure officers visit your site out of hours, when your business is at its most vulnerable, protecting your property or establishment with no disruption to your business activity.

How does it work?

During a patrol, a fully trained Keysure security guard from will visit your site out of hours at random intervals. Our guards will arrive in clearly marked patrol cars, advertising the fact that your property is protected by a security officer to potential criminals.

How does it work?

At Keysure, we tailor our services to suit your needs. It’s common for business premises to allow access to night workers, maintenance contractors, cleaners or to other pre-arranged site visitors. We can return at any time to let someone in and lock-up after they finish.

Unlocking Service

Before the start of business, Keysure guards can arrive at your business property to open doors, disable alarms, carry out routine checks throughout the building and create a hassle-free environment for you to start your day.

Locking up Service

At close of business, Keysure guards will ensure the property is empty, including the fire exits, check for any fire hazards and set all the alarms. Keysure operates with strict security regulations in order to guarantee professional protection of your assets and staff.

Vacant property inspections are a very efficient way to monitor empty properties, building and grounds condition, including notification of any fly tipping or events of vandalism on the site.

Damage to property can reduce its sale or rental value so reporting unnoticed damage or decay early ensures the necessary repairs are carried out in a timely manner rather than allow a few small problems to escalate into a major financial loss.

How does it work?

Vacant site inspections can be carried out on as regularly as required. The Keysure guard will compile a report after each visit and send it to the client. These reports can be invaluable to a client in evaluating any threat from vandalism or property decay and measures can be put in place to counteract these threats.

Depending on your individual needs, we can arrange for a Keysure guard to attend to the site, so they can grant access for any authorised individuals, or to carry out a comprehensive inspection of your property. The guard will also check for any leaks or water damage, they can take meter readings if required and check for any electrical or fire hazards. Our guard will also ensure that all windows and doors are locked securely and that all alarms are fully engaged with no faults showing.

Keysure is the perfect solution to your security requirements, whether it is a residential or commercial property.
