Ordering a Knox Box

A Knox Box is a secure key safe that is mounted on the exterior of a building. It allows emergency responders to quickly access the building in the event of a fire, alarm, or other emergency without having to force entry. The Knox Box holds keys to the building, which only the local emergency services can access.
