Locking & Unlocking Services in Manchester
Opening and securing commercial premises each day is a responsibility that requires consistency, reliability and attention to detail.

Professional Locking & Unlocking Across Manchester
Relying on employees to lock or unlock a building can create unnecessary risk due to staff absence, inconsistent procedures, or simple human error. Outsourcing this responsibility to Marpol Security provides a dependable service carried out by experienced security professionals.
Our officers attend your premises at agreed times, following site-specific opening and closing procedures to ensure your property remains secure while allowing your business to operate without disruption.
How Our Locking & Unlocking Service Works
Opening Your Premises
Before your working day begins, one of our security officers attends your premises to unlock the building, deactivate alarms and complete a security inspection. If required, equipment can be switched on and the premises prepared ready for your staff to arrive.
Securing Your Building
At the end of the day, our officers confirm the building has been vacated before carrying out a thorough closing procedure. Doors and windows are checked, alarms activated and the premises secured in accordance with your agreed security protocols.
Additional Security Support
Where additional protection is required, Locking & Unlocking services can be combined with Mobile Patrols, Keyholding, Alarm Response and CCTV Monitoring to create a complete out-of-hours security solution.

Every service is tailored to your premises and operational requirements. Our officers can carry out:
Secure opening and locking of buildings
Alarm setting and deactivation
