Does your alarm meet the grade your insurer wants?

Insurance companies often insist on a graded intruder alarm before they'll cover your premises, and it's worth checking yours actually meets the mark.

Compliance with current standards like BSEN13637 matters here too, not just for grading but for how your whole system holds together.

Before upgrading or installing, ask yourself a few things. Which areas actually need protecting? Do you want wired, wireless, or a mix of both? Has your insurer specified a grade you need to hit?

Once it's fitted, the work isn't done. Insurers usually expect regular servicing, and Keytrak's maintenance plans include a weekly remote health check plus a full on-site service at least once a year.

Modern alarms can also be managed from your phone or linked to CCTV and smart locks, so the system works together rather than in separate pieces.

Has anyone checked what grade your current alarm actually meets?

A quick way to check your business security this week

Walk your premises with fresh eyes and you'll usually spot the gaps straight away.

Start counting your doors and users. If you've got 3 or more doors and 20+ people needing access, a stand-alone lock system will become a headache to manage. Cloud or software-based access control makes life easier as you grow.

Check your intruder alarm too. If it's still not offering smartphone alerts or wireless options, it's worth an upgrade, and your insurer likely expects a full on-site service at least once a year anyway, alongside more frequent health checks.

Don't forget the perimeter. Bollards, anti-vandal grilles, and secure car park access matter just as much as what's on your doors, especially if unauthorised vehicles can get close to your building.

What would an outsider find if they tried to get into your building right now?

Locking down data isn't just physical security anymore

If you're storing customer records, staff files, or server equipment, GDPR expects you to show you've taken real steps to protect them.

Access control on your server room or archive room does exactly that. It restricts who can get in, and logs when they did, which matters if you're ever asked to demonstrate compliance.

You don't always need a full system to get started. A battery operated handle set on the right doors can get you compliant quickly, without a big install job.

If you're running more than a handful of doors and users, a cloud or software based system makes managing access far easier than juggling keys or standalone units.

Worth asking yourself: do you actually know who's been in your server room this month?

What Is Perimeter Security (And Are You Relying on the Wrong Things)?

Most property owners put all their trust in a burglar alarm and call it a day. But if someone can walk, drive, or climb straight up to your building unchallenged, that alarm is your last line of defence rather than part of a proper security plan.

Perimeter security is about stopping a threat before it reaches your doors and windows. That means looking at physical barriers like bollards and parking posts to keep unauthorised vehicles away from your building, anti-climb solutions like Roller Barrier or Razor Spike to stop intruders scaling your walls and fencing, security grilles to harden vulnerable windows and entry points, and automatic gates and barriers to control who can even access your site in the first place. Combined with your existing alarm and access control setup, these measures create a layered approach that gives criminals far fewer options and far less confidence. 🔒

What does your current perimeter setup look like? And if you manage a commercial property, have you ever had a security review done on the physical boundaries of the site? We'd be happy to talk it through. Find out more about what Keytrak can supply and install at the link below.

Texecom, Pyronix or Honeywell? Which Alarm Brand Is Right for You?

Choosing the wrong intruder alarm brand can leave gaps in your security (and potentially void your insurance cover), so it's worth knowing how these three leading names actually differ before you commit.

Texecom is widely regarded for its robust, professional-grade systems that integrate well with smart devices and monitoring stations, making it a strong choice for commercial premises that need remote management and third-party monitoring. Pyronix brings strong wireless technology to the table, which is ideal if you want a cleaner installation with fewer cables, or if you're upgrading an existing site without major disruption. Honeywell rounds out the trio with a long-standing reputation for reliability and grade-compliant systems that many insurers and facilities managers are already familiar with. All three brands are ones Keytrak supply and install for both commercial and domestic clients across Widnes, Warrington, Liverpool, and beyond. The right choice often comes down to your site, your insurance requirements, and whether you need wired, wireless, or a hybrid setup. 🔒

Worth asking yourself before you get started: does your insurance policy require a graded alarm system? And do you need your alarm monitored by a professional monitoring station, or managed remotely via your smartphone? These two questions alone can significantly narrow down the best option for your premises. If you're not sure where to begin, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

Intruder Alarms: What Every Business Owner Should Know

Most business owners think about intruder alarms only after something goes wrong. But getting the right system in place before a break-in could be the difference between a minor scare and a serious loss. A well-fitted, maintained alarm doesn't just protect your premises; it can also satisfy your insurer's requirements and give you full control of your security from anywhere in the world.

Before you start looking at options, there are a couple of key questions worth thinking through. Which areas of your building actually need protecting? And does your insurance policy require a graded alarm system (such as one compliant with BSEN13637)? These two questions alone can shape your entire decision. From there, it's worth considering whether a wired system, wireless, or a combination of both suits your premises best. Keytrak's intruder alarm systems can also integrate with CCTV, networked access control, and smart devices including smart locks, so your alarm can work as part of a broader security setup rather than standing alone. 🔒 What's your biggest concern when it comes to business security? Drop it in the comments and we'll point you in the right direction.

Do Your Door Closers Actually Keep People Safe in a Fire?

Most people don't give door closers a second thought, until a fire safety inspection flags them as non-compliant. Door closers play a direct role in containing smoke and fire spread, keeping escape routes clear, and helping your building meet current UK fire safety regulations. If your doors aren't closing and latching correctly every single time, you could have a compliance gap you don't even know about. For facilities managers and business owners, that's a risk worth taking seriously.

At Keytrak, we work with commercial and residential clients across Widnes, Warrington, Liverpool, and nationally to make sure door hardware is doing its job properly. That includes checking that electric locks and door systems comply with standards like BS EN 179 and BS EN 1125 (escape route compliance) and that automatic doors meet BS EN 16005. A door closer that's worn, incorrectly adjusted, or simply the wrong specification for the door weight can compromise the entire fire safety setup of a building. 🔒 Have you had your door hardware checked recently, or is it one of those things that tends to get pushed down the maintenance list? Drop a comment below, we'd love to hear how other property and facilities managers approach this.

Why MLA Accreditation Should Matter to You 🔐

Not all locksmiths are the same, and knowing who to trust with your property's security can feel like a minefield. The Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) exists to set the standard, vetting members on their skills, ethics, and professionalism so you don't have to take a gamble. For property owners and facilities managers, choosing an MLA-accredited company isn't just a preference, it's a practical safeguard that backs up any insurance requirements and gives you a clear paper trail of qualified work.

Keytrak is a proud member of the Master Locksmiths Association, and that membership shapes everything from how our engineers gain entry non-destructively to how we install, repair, and maintain locks across timber, aluminium, UPVC, and composite doors. Alongside our ISO 9002 quality accreditation, it means you're working with a team that's held to a recognised industry benchmark, whether you need a fast emergency call-out at 2am or a planned access control installation for your commercial premises. So here's a question worth asking: when did you last check the accreditations of your current security provider? If you're based in Widnes, Warrington, Liverpool, or anywhere across the UK and want a straightforward conversation about what properly accredited security looks like in practice, we're here. 👇
