By safeguarding a set of our customers keys, we are available for any emergency services that you require 24 hours a day, whether that is responding to a tripped alarm, or removing the risk of responding to an actual incident.

Keys are stored in accordance with regulatory standards set by the industry regulator the Security Industry Authority (SIA). ESG Security is approved by the SIA to provide alarm response, lost key services and access to approved contractors. Our keyholding and alarm response service is carried out in accordance with the latest version of BS 7984 and we cater for both commercial and domestic properties.
