Fire departments gain entry into this key box with the Knox® Master Key. It is a high security master key used only by your local fire department for emergency access. The Residential KNOX-BOX® is just part of the department’s Knox Rapid Entry System.
Knox-Box key boxes already protect businesses, schools and commercial properties against forced entry damage and delayed emergency response. Key boxes, vaults, cabinets, key switches and padlocks provide complete and secure key control for your local fire department.
The Residential KNOX-BOX is available in a permanent, surface-mounted version with a lift-off door (Model #1650) or a hinged door (Model #1658). There is also a temporary door-hanging version with a lift-off door (Model #1651) or with a hinged door (Model #1659) used for emergency medical access during temporary illness.
Residential Knox-Box® key boxes protect your family and your property during emergencies.
Emergency Medical Services
When you are injured or become critically ill, fire department personnel can respond quickly, without forcing entry, when a KNOX-BOX is installed by your front door. They simply remove the entrance key stored inside, provide medical assistance and re lock the door when they leave.
Fire/Security Alarm Response If no one is home and an alarm activates, firefighters and other emergency responders must determine if it is a false alarm or an actual emergency. Without a KNOX-BOX, responders often force entry to determine the answer.
Senior Citizen “LifeLine” Support
Elderly and/or critically ill citizens who depend on medical support services such as LifeLine™, also rely on fast response to calls for emergency aid. Knox-Box key boxes prevent forced entry and additional stress for the patient.
Paramedic and Firefighter Safety
When emergency responders cannot unlock the front door, they search for an alternate means of entry. Sometimes it is difficult to determine which rear window or door to try before forcing entry. If they accidentally enter the wrong apartment, serious injury can result from the surprised occupant.
