Why local wins

When your alarm goes off at 3am,
distance is everything.

Most security firms respond to North Cork from somewhere else. Guard Force Security is based on Bank Place in Mallow town centre — our marked patrol vehicles are already on the road, already in the area, every night of the year.

We don't install alarms. We don't sit in a monitoring room. We patrol — and when something happens at your property, we're the ones who show up first.

Common questions

Straight answers.

Everything you need to know about commercial patrol and key holding in North Cork. Still unsure? Call 022 51427.

What is key holding and how does it work?

Key holding is a security service where Guard Force Security holds a set of keys to your commercial premises. When a patrol is needed, an alarm is triggered, or emergency access is required out of hours, we respond immediately on your behalf — so you don't need to call a member of staff out in the middle of the night. We operate 24/7 across Mallow, Charleville, Mitchelstown and Millstreet.

Do I need key holding if I already have an alarm system?

Yes — an alarm on its own only alerts you that something has happened. Without a key holder responding, there is no physical presence at your property. Guard Force Security provides the human response: we attend your premises, assess the situation, secure the property, and report back. We work alongside any existing alarm system — we just don't install or monitor alarms ourselves.

How often should a mobile patrol visit a commercial property?

Patrol frequency depends on your property type and risk profile. For most commercial properties in North Cork, we recommend a minimum of 2–4 randomised patrol visits per night. Randomised timing is important — predictable patrol routes are less effective as a deterrent. We design patrol schedules specific to each client site.
