How do I order a Knox Box?


The Knox-Box® Rapid Entry System is a secure emergency access program developed for property owners and first responders. The Town of Palm Beach Fire Rescue uses the Knox-Box Rapid Entry System to prevent costly entry damage while protecting property and lives. When a fire breaks out or there is a medical emergency, Knox® products allow immediate entry into buildings and property without forced entry damage or delay. Property owners store entrance keys, access cards and floor plans in high-security Knox-Box key boxes mounted near building entrances. Each Knox-Box purchased by a property owner is keyed to a single master key controlled by the Fire Department.

Ordering:

  • Go to Knox Corp web site – www.knoxbox.com/Products

Installation:

  • When you receive your new box you will need to have it installed; we asked that the box be at least 5 ft. above the ground, near the main entrance to your home or business. The box should be unobstructed and in a place where it will be visible to first responders.
  • When the installation of your box is complete, please contact the Division of Fire Prevention and Life Safety to schedule an appointment to lock your box.
  • Please have any keys, codes, medication lists, floor plans, etc. prepared for the Fire Inspector to lock in your box.

If you have any questions during this process, please contact the Division of Fire Prevention and Life Safety at 561-227-6440.
