Knox Box Information

Lower Allen Township Commercial Knox Box Program

What is a commercial Knox Box?

The Knox Box is a box (vault) that contains keys to the property/structure so that Police, Fire and EMS can gain access in the event of an emergency quickly. Without this box, property damage may occur. The system saves valuable time that could be wasted while Public Safety services wait for a key holder to arrive and unlock their building. The box (vault) is ultra secure and extremely durable.

Who is required to have a commercial Knox Box?

In accordance with Lower Allen Township ordinances, all properties and/or occupancies that have an alarm system and/or suppression system is required to have a Knox Box.
