Self-Sufficient: Security as a stand-alone solution 

Emergency door opening and key holding

Patrol & intervention Service

Emergency door opening & key holding

Key holding and help if you are locked out – focused on private clients, also for businesses.

Your home in view

Many people know the situation: the front door clicks shut, the spare key is with parents in another city, or the children come home from school and no one is there in time. With a depot with us you have a plan B that does not mean calling any locksmith from the internet.

We hold your keys marked neutrally and agree with you who receives a key in an emergency and how we identify you (identification, release). That keeps it traceable and secure – even when things have to happen quickly.

Patrol officer on site – professional access and checks at the property
Linked into our patrol service: key handover and help if you are locked out follow the same clear procedures as our site checks – with your release and documented in a traceable way.

Typical situations – not one-offs for us

  • Door or flat door slammed shut – without forced-entry damage we work, where agreed, with proven methods and clear rules.
  • Holiday, short trip, care – a trusted person should be allowed to collect the key: we set the rules in writing in advance.
  • Shared front door, shared flat, multi-generation home – a central depot key reduces disputes and “key chaos”.
  • Lost keys – after release a deposited spare can be brought to the property; replacing the locking system is a matter for your locksmith – we focus on secure access.

Transparency & limits

We open doors and hand over keys only when agreement, identity and release match. That protects you from misuse. Concrete response times, radius and availability depend on your package – we agree that in conversation rather than making empty promises.

Your everyday life first, then the rest

For private individuals and families, key holding is often the simplest solution for holidays, care, shared front doors, or when everyday life is faster than the key ring. Commercial clients use the same offering scaled to site and processes.

You do not need to be a large client: many private customers start with one depot key and expand when family or housing circumstances change.

Keys held securely

Marked neutrally, held in protected storage – without third parties recognising address or person from the key ring.

Quick help if you are locked out

If the door has slammed shut: depending on the agreement, delivery of the deposited key or professional support – with clear procedures rather than “any” emergency service.

One contact

Whether private or company: you know who holds your key and who comes in an emergency – and which steps belong to that.

How it typically works

  1. 1 Discussion & agreement

    We clarify scope, availability and what happens in an emergency – transparently, without small-print puzzles.

  2. 2 Deposit the key

    Handover by appointment – for your home or your site. Neutral marking, secure storage.

  3. 3 When needed – deployment

    If you are locked out or access is required: action after your release and according to our security rules.

For companies, property management & sites

Deposit and handover processes scale with your organisation: the same security logic as for private clients, but with multiple access rights, defined contacts on the client side and a link to existing patrol or alarm response.

Typical scenes are technical access outside office hours, handover to tradespeople after your release, or an emergency key for site management – without it having to sit permanently with reception or a tenant.

  • Documentation and traceable handovers
  • Coordination with guarding, watch service or control centre
  • Quotes by radius, scope and service hours

Sites & commercial – consistent processes

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace a locksmith?
The aim is a planned solution with a depot and agreed deployments – not the ad-hoc market for door openings. What is technically and legally possible in a given case we discuss with you honestly in advance.
How secure is the holding?
Keys are labelled neutrally; access only under internal rules. Details of safes, access and checks we explain in a personal conversation – without going public on sensitive points.
Only in Münster?
Our focus is where we already have patrols and organisation – operating radius and depot location are part of the agreement.

Terms & next steps

Whether monthly holding, a one-off deposit or emergency deployment – we agree scope and price with you, separately for households and commercial clients if needed. An initial meeting and setting up the depot are by appointment; in an emergency the reachability and release logic deposited with you applies.
