Keeping your business safe shouldn’t feel like a daily stress test. Yet with over 40% of UK businesses experiencing attempted break-ins every year, the fear of leaving your premises unlocked is very real.
Whether you run a shop, office, warehouse, or large commercial site, one forgotten door can turn into a costly problem fast.
That’s exactly why Intraguard’s lock and unlock team exists to give you total peace of mind, every single day.
At present, where security risks keep rising, having trained professionals handle your openings and closings isn’t just convenient, it’s essential. No more rushing in early, staying late, or worrying if someone remembered the alarm.
Intraguard has it covered.
The Value Lock and Unlock Services Bring to UK Businesses
Most business owners are pulled in a hundred different directions every day. Rushing to open in the morning and locking up late at night is not only inconvenient, it’s a serious security risk. One mistake, one forgotten door, or one missed alarm can lead to a costly break-in.
Professional lock and unlock services eliminate that risk.
Here’s why businesses love it:
- Your property is ALWAYS secured properly
- Staff don’t need keys or alarm codes.
- You avoid liability for employee lockup errors.
- You reduce the chance of internal security risks
- You get a recorded, professional lockup process every time.
It’s simple, safe, and stress-free.

The Real Reasons Businesses Outsource Lock and Unlock Services
1. Better Staff Safety
Employees should never be responsible for opening or closing a dark, empty building. It exposes them to unnecessary risk. Intraguard handles it professionally.
2. Reduced Insurance Costs
Insurers love strong security measures, and professionally managed lockups can reduce risk, strengthen claims, and even lower premiums.
3. No More Lost Keys
Staff turnover often leads to lost keys, expensive replacements, and security vulnerabilities. Key holding + lock/unlock solves this for good.
4. Guaranteed Security Compliance
We ensure every door is locked, every window is secured, and every alarm is set perfectly, every time.
5. Ideal for Multi-Site Businesses
Retail chains, office networks, and property management companies rely on Intraguard to secure dozens of sites effortlessly.

This service is perfect for:
Prevent morning rush chaos, eliminate late-night closing risks, and maintain a safe environment for staff and stock.

The Financial Benefit You Don’t Want to Miss
Outsourcing your lock and unlock services doesn’t just simplify your operations; it can significantly reduce overall costs. Many businesses are surprised to discover that hiring a professional security team actually saves money in the long run.
Here’s how:
- Avoid Late Staff Overtime
Employees no longer need to arrive early or stay late to handle lockup duties, saving you weekly overtime costs.
Professionally secured premises lower the chance of theft, vandalism, and forced entry, leading to fewer losses.
- Strengthen Insurance Compliance
Insurers favour businesses that use professional security services, helping you maintain compliance and potentially lower premiums.
Incorrectly set alarms can result in expensive call-outs. With trained officers handling the system, you avoid unnecessary charges.
- Eliminate Key Replacement Costs
Lost keys, lock changes, and reissued access credentials add up. Professional key holding stops this problem entirely.
In many cases, outsourcing your lock and unlock needs is more cost-effective than relying on internal staff and delivers far greater peace of mind.
