Where do key holders work?

Key holders work primarily in retail establishments or restaurants. Any business that has to lock the door upon closing has at least one key holder. This is often a manager, because they have increased responsibility for the store. Often, key holders must deactivate a security alarm after unlocking and opening the door, and activate the alarm prior to leaving at night. This helps to deter break-ins. There is no set position known as a key holder; rather, it is just a way to refer to someone with the increased responsibilities of opening and closing the store.
