"The KNOX-BOX® Rapid Entry System was specifically developed for the fire department. 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.

     Many of these departments use Sentralok® or KeySecure®, master key security systems, to control the Knox Master Key. Property owners in your community store entrance keys, access cards and floor plans in high-security Knox-Box® key boxes mounted near their building entrances.

     Each KNOX-BOX purchased by the property owner is keyed to a single master key controlled by your 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."

     The Longwood Fire Company currently deploys numerous Knox Box rapid entry systems throughout our first due district. These systems allow the fire departments to enter a property during a routine response without damaging the facility. The system is very usually for routine responses to repeated fire alarms. The Knox Box allows us to enter the property to investigate the alarm before your arrival. The Knox Box keys are kept secure and access to the master keys are limited. If you are interested in purchasing a Knox Box for your business, please send an inquiry to the info@longwoodfireco.com
