What is a Locking and Unlocking Service?
Unless your business is a 24 hour operation, by definition at some point each day one of your employees must be first to arrive at your site and last to leave and are normally left with the job of unlocking the doors and taking the alarms off and then vice versa during the evening.
This is the most vulnerable time of the day for your employees as many will be alone and have access to all areas of your business. Our locking and unlocking service takes the stress and strain away from this person as our Security Industry Authority (SIA) licensed mobile patrol officer will attend your site and perform these duties on your behalf.
During the evening we will arrive during a mutually agreed window of time and turn off any non-essential appliances such as photocopiers, lights and air-conditioning, as well as making sure that the Intruder Alarm is set and the Fire Alarm is functioning before locking the doors and departing. Your staff simply leave for home at their normal time and do not retain any responsibility for doing this.
In the morning the patrol officer returns and opens up, switching on the appliances that were turned off the night before and ensuring that the building is ready for business that day. We can even escort your team to their cars each evening to make sure they exit the site securely.
Whether you are a temporary fixture such as a construction site or preparation for a big event, or you are a permanent building such as an office or retail store, our locking and unlocking service in Birmingham and the wider West Midlands is the perfect solution to your security needs.
