Curing Alarm Fatigue in Upper Green
Premium Retail Security
The owner of an independent boutique in Upper Green (Tettenhall) was exhausted. An aging alarm system was triggering 2 to 3 times a month due to a faulty sensor. Driving to the shop at 3 AM, waiting in the dark, and resetting the system was ruining her health and ability to run the business during the day.
"You handed over the keys. We took over the response." Eagle Security became the primary key holder and emergency contact for the boutique's monitoring station.
The owner finally slept. Over the next two months, we attended 3 false alarms (resetting the system securely) and arranged for an alarm engineer to fix the sensor during the day. The owner never had to leave her bed, and the business operated flawlessly.

Everything You Need to Know About Key Holding in Tettenhall.
How do you store keys for my home in The Wergs?
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 address is never attached to the physical key.
Who responds if the alarm goes off at my shop?
A fully uniformed, SIA-licensed mobile response officer. "You stay home. We attend." We are trained to handle intruders, secure the premises, and preserve crime scenes.
What if it's just a false alarm?
We investigate the cause, reset the alarm, lock the building securely, and send you a digital report the next morning. You do not need to be disturbed during the night.
Can I use your service just for the month I am on holiday?
Yes. While we offer annual retainers, we can easily provide temporary residential key holding and alarm response specifically for the duration of your trip abroad.
Are you insured to hold keys for high-value properties?
Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability and specific "loss of keys" insurance tailored for premium residential and commercial security operations.
What happens if there is an actual break-in at my boutique?
We do not enter if there are signs of active intruders. We retreat, secure the perimeter, call the Police immediately, and wait for their arrival. We then assist with emergency boarding up.
Can you let tradesmen into my house while I am at work?
Yes. We provide a Scheduled Access service. We can attend your home, unlock the door for verified contractors, 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 Tettenhall Wood?
Because we have local units on patrol across the western borders of Wolverhampton, our average response time in Tettenhall 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 gate remotes required to enter your private estate or commercial premises.
What if I lose my personal house keys?
Since we hold a spare master set in our secure vault, we can dispatch an officer to provide emergency access to your home, saving you the cost of an emergency locksmith.
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 holiday 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 guarding rates apply) until an alarm engineer arrives.
Do you serve private schools and colleges in Compton?
Yes. We are highly experienced in holding keys for educational facilities, managing out-of-hours access, and conducting holiday security and alarm checks.
