Knox-Box Offers Security and Peace Of Mind to the Community and Hasty Access for Emergency Personnel.

The goal of the Lexington Fire Department is to provide the timely and efficient service to the citizens of our community. In contrast, maintaining keys to alarmed buildings/residences has become unmanageable and causes undue delays when responding to emergencies.

In order to access facilities quickly, minimize forced entry damage, and protect personnel from injury, the Lexington Fire Department promotes the use of the the Knox-Box Rapid Entry System. Currently, more than seven thousand fire departments and the communities they protect enjoy the benefits of this proven system.

Knox-Boxes are constructed of ¼" solid steel with a ½" steel door and reinforced locking mechanism. They are UL listed against physical attack and the Medeco security lock is patented and UL listed for drill, pick and pull resistance.

The master key to open the Knox-Box is held ONLY by the Lexington Fire Department. This high security key is strictly controlled and is produced ONLY by the Medeco factory under direction from an authorized fire official's signature.

Knox-Boxes are highly recommended by the Lexington Fire Department, but are purchased directly from the Knox Company. Once installed near the entrance to your property, the department locks your building entrance key inside the Knox-Box so that it is available on site for future emergencies.
