Residential Knox Box Information

Residential Knox Box

Residential Knox Boxes are secured key boxes designed to provide responding firefighters and paramedics immediate access to entry keys for a private residence. The Residential Knox Boxes are made of heavy duty steel and are securely installed to a resident's home adjacent to a main entrance. The Schiller Park Fire Department has the only key to open the Knox Box to retrieve the entry key.   

Benefits

The Knox Box system allows firefighters and paramedics to gain access to your home without having to wait for a key holder to arrive from another location or without forcing or breaking a door or window.

The Schiller Park Fire Department recommends the purchase and installation of a Residential Knox Box for those residents who anticipate frequent medical calls and may also be unable to answer the door for responding emergency personnel.
