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. More than 8,000 departments nationwide use Knox key boxes.

Many of these departments use Knox Box master key security systems, to control the Knox Master Key. Property owners in the 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 the fire 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 fire department response time, property damage and the liability for lost keys.

The Dauphin County Knox Box Waiver Form has been added to the FILES menu, located to the left of this page.
