Knox-Box Information

The KNOX-BOX® Rapid Entry System was specifically developed for the fire department. With one master key, we can gain access to commercial and residential property in case of an emergency. More than 9,000 departments nationwide use Knox® key boxes.

Many fire departments (including the Baldwinsville Volunteer Fire Company) use highly secure Knox Box Master Key Security Systems, to control the Knox Master Key. The master key is only able to be used by the fire company when dispatched to an alarm by the Onondaga County 911 Center. Property owners in the community store entrance keys and/or access cards in high-security Knox-Box® key boxes mounted near their building entrances.

Each KNOX-BOX purchased by the property owner is keyed to the single master key controlled by the Baldwinsville Volunteer Fire Company. 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.
