The box typically contains:
A master key to the building.
Access cards, gate keys, or other critical entry tools.

🧯 Why are Knox Boxes used?
They are used to:
Allow emergency services to enter buildings quickly in case of fire, medical emergency, or alarm activation.
Avoid property damage (like breaking down doors).
Provide access when a building is unoccupied or locked.

🏒 Where are they installed?
Commercial buildings
Schools
Industrial facilities
Gated communities
Some residential properties (especially for elderly or high-risk individuals)

πŸ” Security
Only the local fire department has the master key to open the Knox Boxes in their jurisdiction.
The system is designed to be tamper-resistant and high-security.
