What is a Knox Box?
The
KNOX BOX Rapid Entry System
was specifically developed for fire departments. With one master key,
you can gain access to commercial and residential property. More than
9,000 departments nationwide use Knox key boxes, vaults, Haz-Mat
cabinets, key switches, locking FDC caps, and padlocks.
Each
KNOX-BOX purchased by the property
owner is keyed to a single master key controlled by your local fire
department. With the Knox System, there is no cost to the fire
department, no waiting for a property owner to unlock the door in the
middle of the night, and no forcing the door open to gain entry. The
Knox Rapid Entry System reduces response time, property damage and the
liability for lost keys.
Please visit the Willmar fire station to order your Knox Box. The
Knox Company requires pre-payment either by check or credit card.
