4. Satisfy local fire codes and emergency access ordinances.

6. Feel secure about emergency coverage when your building is left unattended. The fire department holds the only key to the KNOX BOX.
7. Maintain building security after a fire alarm investigation by simply re-locking the undamaged door.

How the KNOX BOX System Works

It's 3:30 in the morning. The fire alarm in your building is ringing and the fire department responds. Rather than reaching for an axe to break down the door, firefighters open the KNOX BOX, remove entrance keys, and immediately enter your facility.

Eliminating forced entry means no property damage and no replacement costs for broken windows and forced doorframes or locks. It also means no flying glass to injure firefighters.

You arrive on site knowing that you or your representative did not have to get there before firefighters could enter your building. The fire department has already determined that a small fire was contained by the sprinkler system. The reduced emergency response time meant immediate shut off of the sprinkler water supply resulting in minimal smoke, fire and water damage to your property.

Even before parking your car, you see that the fire department has already re-locked the front door and replaced your key inside the KNOX BOX.

In an era of reduced funding and manpower, your fire department has performed its duties with increased effectiveness and is now free to respond to the next emergency.

The minimal expenditure to install a KNOX BOX has allowed you, the building owner, to satisfy local fire codes and ordinances. But most importantly, KNOX BOX protection is providing peace of mind that your building is safe.
