COMMERCIAL KEYHOLDING & ALARM RESPONSE
24/7 Commercial Response
Our licensed partners’ trained security teams respond immediately to alarms at commercial properties, minimising downtime and protecting your assets around the clock.
Secure Key Management
Commercial keys are stored securely by our licensed partners, with strict protocols to ensure only authorised personnel can access your business premises, reducing risk of unauthorised entry.
Reduced Business Risk
By outsourcing keyholding and alarm response, commercial businesses reduce liability for staff, avoid costly delays, and ensure professional handling of security incidents.
We provide keyholding and alarm response for commercial properties across Dublin, from our base in Ballymount, Dublin 12, through our licensed partners. Keys are held securely by our licensed partners under controlled access procedures, and attendance is carried out with PSA-licensed partners working to documented procedures, so your staff are not the ones called out at night.
Keyholding matters most when it is joined up with the alarm itself. Our commercial intruder alarms and commercial CCTV can be specified with it from the start, and our guide to monitored alarm systems for business premises explains why a contracted keyholder is part of qualifying for a Garda response. To set up keyholding for your premises, contact our team or call 01 456 8867.

I’ve been working with Ian, Tim and all at DNA for over 12 years on multiple residential & commercial buildings. Whenever I need support with intruder alarms, access controls, or fire alarms, DNA are my first call. Tim provides sensible advice, respond quickly, and I can trust them to get the job done without any fuss. It makes a big difference working with a company you can rely on long-term, and I’d have no hesitation recommending DNA.Posted on Google![]()

We have been working with DNA Security for over 20 years. Amazing to know that you have a supplier that is always trying to get the best deal for you and save money in the long run. They have very good guys working for them for years, who know our building inside out and it is so much easier than always a getting somebody new. Tim and his team always are on the other end of the line.Posted on Google![]()
