Knox Box
How do I order a Knox Box?
In order to access buildings quickly, minimize forced entry damage, and protect firefighters from injury, the Greeneville Fire Department has adopted 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 Medeco security lock is patented and UL listed for drill, pick and pull resistance.
The master keys to open the Knox-Box® are held ONLY by the Greeneville Fire Department. These high security keys are strictly controlled and are produced ONLY by the Medeco® factory under direction from an authorized fire official's signature. Each fire engine and the shift commander's vehicle are equipped with a Key Secure® system to ensure accountability for the possession of these keys.
Knox-Boxes are specified by the 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 onsite for future emergencies.
If you have any further questions feel free to call the Knox Company at 800-552-5669 or you can visit the Knox website at www.knoxbox.com. Otherwise, please call our Fire Marshal Alan Shipley at 423-639-7105 to obtain an order form and installation instructions.
