Eagle Security Protection provides discreet, fully accredited key holding services for heavy manufacturing hubs, retail parks, and commercial offices across Oldbury, Langley, and Rounds Green. We completely eliminate the risk of you or your staff navigating massive, dark, and potentially dangerous industrial estates near the M5 in the middle of the night. Whether you manage a sprawling warehouse on Tat Bank Road or a flagship store at Oldbury Green Retail Park, we securely hold the keys, take the emergency call, and handle the risk.
Our Strategic Partners
We work alongside established organisations to maintain site safety and operational continuity.
Stop Putting Yourself and Your Staff in Danger
"Sending an untrained operations manager to an industrial break-in near the M5 is a legal minefield." If your factory alarm goes off at 2 AM on Birchfield Lane, who goes to check it? If you send a designated staff member to clear a massive, dark industrial site, you are exposing them to aggressive confrontations with organized gangs and severe "Lone Worker" hazards. We mitigate that risk.

Case Study: Logistics Hub Security
"Sleep through the night. We handle the rest."
The Operations Director of a major distribution centre on Sandwell Business Park was exhausted. High winds off the M5 were triggering shutter sensors 3 to 4 times a month. Driving to the massive site at 2 AM alone was ruining his health and exposing him to severe lone-worker risks.
"You handed over the keys. We took over the response." Eagle Security became the primary key holder and emergency contact for the site's monitoring station.
The Director finally slept. Over the next quarter, we attended 5 false alarms. The company completely mitigated its lone worker liability. A physical Site Attendance Docket was left on his desk every morning after an activation.

Everything You Need to Know About Key Holding in Oldbury
How do you store keys for my warehouse on Sandwell Business Park?
Keys are stored in a secure, calibrated safe in our 24/7 control room in accordance with BS 7984. They are coded anonymously, meaning your business address is never attached to the physical key.
Who responds if the alarm goes off at my site near Birchley Island?
A fully uniformed, SIA-licensed mobile response officer. "You stay home. We attend." We are trained to navigate hazardous industrial environments and handle intruders.
What if it's just a false alarm at our store in Oldbury Green Retail Park?
We investigate the cause, reset the alarm, lock the building securely, and leave a handwritten Site Attendance Docket on your desk for the morning. You do not need to be disturbed during the night.
Can I use your service just for the two-week factory shutdown?
Yes. While we offer annual retainers, we can easily provide temporary commercial key holding and alarm response specifically for the duration of your holiday shutdown.
Are you insured to hold keys for high-value logistics hubs?
Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability and specific "loss of keys" insurance tailored for premium commercial and industrial security operations.
What happens if there is an actual break-in on Tat Bank Road?
We do not enter blindly if there are signs of active intruders. We retreat, secure the perimeter, call West Midlands Police immediately, and wait for their arrival. We then assist with emergency boarding up.
Can you let maintenance contractors into my site on a Sunday?
Yes. We provide a Scheduled Access service. We can attend your site, unlock the doors for verified engineers (logging them in via a physical sheet), wait if necessary, and lock up securely when they leave.
Do I need to give you my alarm code?
Yes. We require a unique alarm code (assigned specifically to our security team) so we can safely disarm and reset your system upon arrival.
How quickly can you respond to an alarm in Langley?
Because we have local units on patrol across the Sandwell borders and near the M5, our average response time in Oldbury is typically within 20-30 minutes.
Can you hold electronic fobs and remote gate clickers?
Yes. We can hold traditional keys, electronic fobs, access cards, and heavy-duty gate remotes required to enter your commercial premises.
What if my shift manager loses the master keys?
Since we hold a spare master set in our secure vault, we can dispatch an officer to provide emergency access to your business, preventing a complete halt in production.
Do you cover Bank Holidays and Christmas?
Yes. Our Key Holding and Alarm Response service operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with absolutely no exceptions.
Is there a long-term contract?
We typically run on an annual contract (£547.50 billed annually) for maximum cost-effectiveness, but we remain highly flexible for short-term temporary cover.
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.
What if the alarm is broken and won't reset?
If the system is faulty, we will contact your nominated emergency contact for instructions, or we can remain on site (standard static guarding rates apply) until an alarm engineer arrives.
Do you serve residential properties in Rounds Green?
Yes. We are highly experienced in holding keys for private residential properties, managing out-of-hours access, and conducting holiday security and alarm checks.
