Remove lone opening and closing from staff duties
Asking an employee to enter or leave an empty building alone can create avoidable concern and inconsistent checks. We provide a lock and unlock service in Bradford using a written routine for each premises. During lock-up, we can inspect vulnerable areas, toilets and fire doors, close blinds, switch off agreed lights and set the intruder alarm. Opening duties can include access checks and preparation for authorised staff arrival. We confirm keys, alarm instructions and escalation contacts before starting, giving the officer a clear sequence instead of relying on memory at the beginning or end of the day.
Keep routine access flexible but properly recorded
We can follow a regular schedule, complete later ad hoc lock-ups, support weekend access and respond to out-of-hours requests through the control centre. Published response for these access requests is 10 to 20 minutes, subject to the request and location arrangements. A completed checklist creates a consistent record of the duties carried out and highlights issues found during opening or closing. Mobile patrols can also be added around the same schedule where the premises need checks beyond the access routine. We review authorised contacts and instructions when staffing, alarms or building use changes.
Frequently asked questions
What happens during a scheduled lock-up?
We follow your written checklist, which may cover vulnerable areas, toilets, fire doors, blinds, agreed lights and the intruder alarm. We also record issues and report them through the nominated contact route.
Can you provide weekend or ad hoc building access?
Yes. We can plan weekend access and later ad hoc lock-ups alongside the normal schedule. Out-of-hours requests can go through the control centre, with access limited to authorised arrangements.
Do you provide a record after opening or closing?
Yes. We can use a written checklist to record the agreed tasks completed and any problem found. This creates a consistent audit trail and helps identify instructions that need updating.
