About Key Holding & Alarm Response
Key holding takes the pager out of your facilities team's pocket. The provider holds your keys in secure storage and dispatches a vetted officer when an alarm triggers, a leak is reported, or a contractor needs out-of-hours access. Most include a fixed monthly retainer plus a per-call-out fee, with full audit trail of every visit. Pairs naturally with remote monitoring and mobile patrols.
