Knox Box Program

Protect residential and commercial properties from forced entry damage during emergencies. Safely secure your entrance key in a UL listed Residential Knox-Box key box.

The Knox-Box key is used by the Fire and EMS service to make entry into a property after operational hours or if no one is home.  For a example if a fire alarm is sounding and the fire crews do not see any obvious signs of a fire or other emergencies we can use the knox-Box keys to enter the property and not do any damage that is not necessary. For the ambulance, if someone is home and is having a medical emergency and is unable to unlock a door for the crews to get inside we can use the Knox-Box key and get to your family member to render assistance.

As a fire service we are dispatched to a majority of false alarms and the Knox-Box keys help us to help you from any unnecessary damage done to properties to ensure the safety of the public.
