The KNOX-BOX® rapid
entry system is a secure emergency access program developed for property
owners and fire departments. When a fire breaks out, Knox® products allow
immediate entry into buildings and property without forced entry damage or
delay. Property owners store entrance keys, access cards and floor plans
in high-security Knox-Boxes mounted near building entrances. Each KNOX-BOX®
purchased by a property owner is keyed to a single master key controlled
by the fire department.
In addition to
key boxes and vaults, Knox padlocks and key switches operate with the same
master key. There are so many gated communities today that fire and police
departments are delayed when responding to emergency calls. Increased
property damage and even total loss is a threat when property is not
accessible.
The Knox Rapid
Entry System was developed to save property and lives.
