Summary:
The KnoxBox is a secure container that holds building keys to allow emergency access. It can provide shared access to both fire and police departments. Property owners store keys and access cards in high security Knox-Boxes, which are controlled by the fire department’s master key. The Knox Company is the brand that produces Knox-Box products. Only the fire department has the master key for Knox Boxes, as any key that opens one box will open others in the city. KnoxBoxes are secure, as they are keyed to a single master key and enable rapid entry for emergency response. The police do not have master keys to homes unless provided by the homeowner. KnoxBoxes on commercial buildings must contain keys for all exterior entrances and any required interior doors deemed necessary by the fire department.
