Keyholding Services in Corby
"Securing your boundaries when the gates are locked."
Corby's industrial growth, particularly around Phoenix Parkway and its logistics depots, has created massive compounds that require secure out-of-hours management. Leaving high-capacity yards and development sites vulnerable to metal theft and vehicle break-ins is a severe commercial risk. Eagle Security Protection Ltd delivers professional keyholding and alarm response services across Corby, ensuring that trained, SIA-licensed officers respond immediately to activations. Rather than putting your staff at risk with out-of-hours call-outs, our local responders execute physical perimeter checks, secure gates, and coordinate with Northamptonshire Police to preserve site security.

Our 4 Core Security Services
Select a single targeted service or deploy a comprehensive defence package.
1. Manned Guarding
The Role: Controlling entry points at access gates, managing visitor logs, and performing out-of-hours patrols across commercial construction sites to deter intruders.
The Accountability: Our officers maintain a strict physical Site Access Ledger and a handwritten Daily Occurrence Book to verify all arrivals and incidents.
Ideal For: Busy logistics yards, building perimeters, and active construction sites.
2. Mobile Patrols
The Role: Mobile response units sweep boundaries, inspect fencing, test padlocks on tool vaults, and verify gate security at irregular intervals.
The Accountability: Officers leave a physical, signed patrol slip on-site after every inspection to provide written proof of attendance.
Ideal For: Unmanned developments, vacant commercial properties, and perimeter verification.
3. CCTV Monitoring
The Role: We integrate with your existing site camera system. Using motion-triggered alerts, we view active feeds and can issue immediate live audio warnings to intruders.
The Accountability: Every trigger alert is verified in real-time by our control room operators and logged in writing without storing your video data locally.
Ideal For: Vast compounds, equipment storage yards, and perimeter boundaries.
4. Key Holding & Alarm Response
The Role: Vaulting your site keys in accordance with BS 7984 standards. If your intruder or fire alarm activates, local responders deploy immediately to inspect and secure the perimeter.
The Accountability: Key access is tracked via a double-signed log, with site attendance documented in a written report left on-site.
Ideal For: Commercial offices, utility compounds, and construction site offices.
