Knox Box Program

The Knox-Box® Rapid Entry System is a secure emergency access program developed for property owners and first responders. First Responders across North America use the Knox-Box Rapid Entry System to prevent costly entry damage while protecting property and lives. When a fire breaks out or there is a medical emergency, 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-Box key boxes mounted near building entrances. Each Knox-Box purchased by a property owner is keyed to a single master key controlled by the local responding department.

Recommendations from the Clifton Springs Fire Department:

The goal of the Clifton Springs Fire Department is to provide the best and most up-to-date service to the people of our fire protection district. In contrast, maintaining keys to alarmed buildings/residences has become unmanageable and is causing delays when responding to emergencies.

We recommend that ALL commercial structures have a Knoxbox system for the building.

We recommend Knoxbox 3200 series for any commercial buildings

The types of keys that we recommend for inside the Knoxbox are as followed; Main Entrance Doors, Elevator Control, Fire Panel, Fire Control Room, Boiler/HVAC Control Room, and Any other pertinent keys. All Keys should be marked accordingly.
