Knox Box
Trusted by thousands of fire and law enforcement agencies for over 40 years, Knox Rapid Access Solutions have provided first responders with immediate access into secure buildings, campuses, residences and commercial properties when it matters most. Removing barriers to entry reduces injuries to responders and minimizes property damage. That’s the power of the Knox rapid access system.
As a commercial property owner, we encourage you to purchase a Knox Box in coordination with our Fire Inspector to help us better serve you and reduce any unnecessary damage due to a required forced entry.
