Have you heard of the Knox Box program?
A Knox Box is a small metal box that can be mounted on the outside of your building/business to store master keys inside.
In the event of an emergency, your local fire department can access these boxes with a master key to the boxes. Once unlocked by the
department, we can gain access inside the building, using the keys you provide, without causing damage by having to break into the building.
