KNOX-BOX QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
|
What is
a Knox Box system? |
It's a high-security box system, designed
to give firefighters and emergency services immediate access to
locked buildings, elevators, and other secured areas.
Installation of
a Knox Box on your property will not only allow firefighters
faster access in case of an emergency, but will also prevent
expensive forcible entry should emergency services be required
while the premises are unoccupied. Costly front doors and entry
ways needn't be harmed if entry keys are available on-site!
|
How does
the Knox Box system work? |
Following your
purchase of a Knox Box from the factory, you will mount it
securely on the exterior of your building; attractive
recessed-mount models are available. All necessary access keys
will be locked inside by a representative of the fire
department; only the fire department's master key can open the
box.
The Knox Box gives the fire department a simple alternative to
expensive, time-consuming forcible entry. The generous interior
capacity allows you to store everything emergency personnel may
require--keys, floor plans, electronic entry cards, and more--in
complete security until needed.
|
How
secure is a Knox Box system? |
Security has
always been a Knox strong point. Designed for maximum
protection, each virtually indestructible box features a special
high-security Medeco lock and key. This Medeco restricted
locking system guards against unauthorized key duplication. Keys
aren't even available to locksmiths or lock distributors--only
The Knox Company can supply these keys!
The Knox Box system offers maximum security at every step. Each
city has an exclusive key code. All Knox Box stations in that
city are keyed alike--and only the fire department has master
keys.
|
Who can
authorize a Knox Box system? |
Strict security
control is maintained by allowing only fire departments to
authorize the purchase of each Knox Box. This is achieved by
using a special authorization form which you can obtain only
from your fire department; the form must be signed by a fire
department official whose signature is on file at the factory.
After verifying the signature, the Knox box is shipped directly
to you. Each Knox Box is shipped without keys, locked in an open
position and ready for mounting.
|
How is
a Knox Box installed? |
Each Knox Box
is shipped with complete mounting instructions; however, your
fire department will assist you in choosing a proper location
for mounting. After installation is completed, the fire
department will conduct an inspection of the installation and
lock building keys inside the box. As soon as building keys are
locked inside the box, it is ready to provide immediate access
to emergency personnel-- 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
