KNOX BOX PROGRAM
The Knox Box Rapid Entry System or Key Lock Boxes (aka Knox Box) are required for certain structures according to Ewing Township O​rdinance, passed in 2006. These boxes eliminate the need for forced entry in the case of an emergency, thus avoiding costly and time-consuming efforts to gain access into the building. Here are just some reasons for a Knox Box:
​
  • Eliminate needless, costly forced entry damage that may not be covered by your insurance deductible.
  • Assure immediate building entry by firefighters without delay or waiting for building keys.
  • Protect inventory, equipment and supplies from unnecessary water damage caused by delayed sprinkler shut-off.
  • Satisfy local fire codes and emergency access ordinances.
  • Save time and aggravation by not having to drive to your building at 2:00 am for a false alarm.
  • Feel secure about emergency coverage when your building is left unattended. The fire department holds the only key to the KNOX-BOX.
