Dear Business Owner / Manager / Home owner
It is the goal of the Madison Fire Department to
provide the best and most up-to-date service to
the people in our fire district. Therefore, the
department is encouraging the use of the Knox
Rapid Entry System to provide ease-of-access and
to streamline operations. The current system of
notifying a building key holder and waiting for
entrance keys to arrive causes the department
unnecessary and often prolonged delays. In
contrast, maintaining keys to commercial
buildings has become unmanageable and is
causing delays when responding to emergencies.
In order to access buildings quickly, minimize
forced entry damage and protect firefighters
from injury, the Madison Fire Department and
several other area fire departments, are
encouraging the KNOX-BOX Rapid Entry System.
The installation of a high security KNOX-BOX near
the entrance of your buildings, gates
and/or residence will provide onsite storage of
keys, access cards and emergency information.
Knox-Boxes are constructed of ¼” solid steel with
a ½” steel door and reinforced locking
mechanism. In most cases, a residential box is
sufficiently sized for up to 10 keys, however a
master key to all locks works best. A model 3261-S
Residential,Surface Mount,Hinged Door,Black
Knox Box is $466.00, significantly less than
repairing a damaged entry door of any type.
They are UL listed against physical attack and the
Medeco security lock is patented and UL listed for
drill, pick and pull resistance. The KNOX-BOX is
keyed specifically for the Madison
Fire Department and would be used in cases of
emergency or to ensure safety of the property.
The master key will be secured in Madison Fire
Department apparatus (fire trucks) allowing
limited access.
The Knox Company has been providing fire
departments with the Knox Rapid Entry System
for 30 years. More than 7,500 departments and
the communities they serve enjoy the benefits of
this proven system.
It is extremely important that you select the
correct fire department from the list. If the wrong
fire department is selected, your Knox Products
will not work and you will be subjected to a $25.00
re-keying fee. Knox-Box will ship your order
directly to you.
Each Knox-Box is shipped without keys, locked in
an open position and ready for mounting. Contact
the Madison Fire Department at (336) 427-4495
once the box is mounted and contents are ready
to be placed inside box.
Please feel free to call the Madison Fire
Department Knox Box Coordinator, Kevin Hall, at
(336) 427-4495 or email
khall@townofmadison.org for more information
or to answer any of your questions.
