RFC Is The Only Dublin Fire & Security Company Offering Keyholding & Alarm Response

None of RFC's four main competitors — TopTech, Logic Fire & Security, KDS or MJ Flood — offer keyholding and alarm response. RFC is the only provider combining keyholding with fire extinguishers, fire alarms, PAT testing and CCTV under one contract. One invoice. One team.

24/7 Keyholding &
Alarm Response

RFC Fire & Security Systems provide a 24/7 keyholding and alarm response service for commercial premises across Dublin and Leinster. RFC holds a set of your keys securely in our PSA-licensed control centre. When your alarm activates out of hours, our response team attends your premises immediately.

Our response officers are Gardaí vetted, PSA licensed and trained to handle all types of alarm activation — intruder alerts, fire alarms and system faults. We investigate the cause, secure the building, contact Gardaí or emergency services if required, and notify you with a full incident report.

What is a Keyholding Service?

A keyholding service means that a PSA-licensed security company holds a set of your keys and responds to alarm activations at your premises on your behalf — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. This means you never have to attend your premises yourself in the middle of the night when your alarm activates.

RFC's keyholding service is fully integrated with our 24/7 monitoring centre. When your alarm activates, our monitoring team receives the signal, verifies the alarm, and dispatches a response officer to your premises immediately. The response officer investigates the cause, secures the building if required, contacts Gardaí or emergency services if needed, and provides you with a full incident report.

Why Commercial Premises Need Keyholding

Alarm activations happen at the most inconvenient times — 3am on a bank holiday, during a family event, or when you're travelling for business. Without a keyholding service, you or a member of your staff must attend the premises every time the alarm activates — regardless of the time or the cause.

With RFC's keyholding service, you never have to attend. Our PSA-licensed response officers handle every activation professionally and securely — protecting your premises, your stock and your staff from having to attend alone at night.

Secure Key Storage

RFC's key storage security is designed to protect your premises at all times:

  • All keys stored in RFC's PSA-licensed secure key cabinet
  • Keys identified by a numeric code only — never by address or business name
  • Key codes and address details stored separately — cannot be cross-referenced if stolen
  • Full chain of custody log — every key movement recorded
  • Keys never leave RFC custody except for authorised response attendances
  • Full insurance cover for all keys held

What Happens When Your Alarm Activates

  • RFC's monitoring centre receives your alarm signal
  • Monitoring officer verifies the alarm — checks CCTV if connected
  • Response officer dispatched to your premises immediately
  • Response officer attends — checks exterior and interior of premises
  • Cause of activation identified — intruder, fault or false alarm
  • Gardaí or fire service contacted if required
  • Premises secured — doors locked, alarm reset
  • You notified by phone — full written incident report provided

" RFC's keyholding service has been invaluable for our four retail units. Our alarm activated at 2am last winter — RFC's response officer was on site within 25 minutes, secured the building and had a full report to us before 8am. Couldn't do without it.
