ARK’s ‘open and lock’ service could also be a valuable service especially at night, as well as locking up, our officers can switch off lights, shut down computers/machinery and set alarms. We can give our officers a complete checklist of all your needs to fulfil any requirements you may have. The Open and Lock service can also have added value such as escorting staff to their vehicles or work destination during dark hours or simply assisting vulnerable staff members who have to shut down the premises at night.
