First Responders across North America use the Knox-Box Rapid Entry System to prevent costly entry damage while protecting property and lives.<\/strong><\/p><p>When a fire breaks out or there is a medical emergency, Knox\u00ae 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.<\/p><p>In addition to key boxes and vaults, Knox padlocks and key switches operate with the same master key. There are so many gated communities today that fire and police departments are delayed when responding to emergency calls. Increased property damage and even total loss is a threat when property is not accessible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-ae06e77\" data-id=\"ae06e77\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11ccb4d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"11ccb4d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" src=\"https:\/\/suffernfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/knox-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-535\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/suffernfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/knox-1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/suffernfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/knox-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32f61055 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"32f61055\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Steps for Getting a Knox-Box for My Building<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a809e37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7a809e37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you have any questions, please contact the <em><strong>Suffern Volunteer Fire Department<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0before ordering.<\/p><ol><li>Make sure your building is located in our coverage area.<\/li><li>Determine the number of items needed stored in the key box for the building.
