A ®KNOX-BOX key box is a heavy-duty enclosure in which keys to a building are stored. They are mounted on an exterior wall of the building (normally near the main entrance) and can only be unlocked by the fire department.

We recommend that all commercial buildings have a ®KNOX-BOX key box in order to prevent property damage in the event that we need to access the building in an emergency situation.
