Stop Putting Your Staff at Risk
"You face the danger. We handle the threat."
Asking an employee to attend a commercial property in Wolverhampton at 3 AM because of an alarm activation is a significant safety risk. It exposes them to potential intruders, aggressive confrontations, and "Lone Worker" hazards. As an employer, you have a legal Duty of Care to protect them.
🛡️ Remove the RiskSafety
You protect your staff from harm; we confront the intruder. Our officers are trained in conflict management.
Convenience
You stay in bed; we handle the 2 AM false alarm. There is no need for you to lose sleep over a spider triggering a sensor.
Liability
You reduce corporate liability; we operate under strict insurance and SIA regulations, ensuring the response is legally compliant.
Core Key Holding Duties
"Secure. Audited. Ready."
🔒 Secure Key Storage
"You Hand Over the Keys. We Lock Them Away." We do not keep keys in a desk drawer. Upon receipt, your keys are tagged with a unique, anonymous code and sealed in a tamper-evident pouch, stored in calibrated safes to BS 7984 standards.
🚨 Alarm Response Integration
"You Get the Alert. We Go to the Site." We become the first point of contact for your monitoring station. We dispatch a mobile unit immediately to conduct external and internal checks, reset alarms, and secure the property.
🚪 Scheduled Access
"You Schedule the Maintenance. We Open the Door." Need to let a cleaner or contractor in out-of-hours? We can attend to unlock the site, verify their credentials, and lock up afterwards.
🔑 Lost Key Support
"You Lose Your Set. We Provide the Backup." If you or a staff member loses their keys, business operations can grind to a halt. We act as the emergency backup to ensure 24/7 access to your own premises.
You Have an Emergency. We Are the Solution.
Coverage when your plans change. "Short-Term Cover & Emergency Boarding."If your primary key holder quits, falls ill, or goes on holiday, we can step in immediately. If we find a break-in during an alarm response, we don't just leave. We arrange emergency boarding up to secure the site before departing.

Eliminating False Alarm Fatigue
Corporate Office
An office manager in Wolverhampton City Centre was waking up 3 times a month for false alarms caused by spiders crawling over sensors. This was causing fatigue and impacting work performance.
"You handed over the keys. We took over the response." Eagle Security became the primary key holder.
The manager slept through the night. We attended 2 false alarms and 1 genuine attempted break-in, which was handled by our team and the police without the manager needing to attend.

Key Holding FAQs
How do you store keys for Wolverhampton clients?
Keys are stored in a secure, calibrated safe in accordance with BS 7984. They are coded anonymously, meaning no address details are attached to the physical key.
Who responds if the alarm goes off?
A fully uniformed, SIA-licensed mobile response officer. "You stay home. We attend." We are trained to handle intruders and preserve crime scenes.
What if it's a false alarm?
We investigate the cause, reset the alarm, lock the building, and send you a digital report the next morning. You do not need to be disturbed.
How much is the annual fee?
The holding fee is £1.50 per day (£547.50/year). If we have to attend the site, there is a fixed call-out fee of £75 for the first hour.
Are you insured?
Yes. We hold full liability insurance specifically for key holding and alarm response activities, including "loss of keys" cover.
What happens if there is a break-in?
We do not enter if there are signs of active intruders. We retreat, call the Police immediately, and wait for their arrival. We then assist with securing the building (boarding up).
