Oakland Knox Boxes
Oakland Fire Bureau Knox Box Compliance
The KnoxBox®, a high-security key lock box, is a secure device operable only by the Oakland Fire Bureau's secure master key. Mandated under California Fire Code (CFC) Section 506.1 and local Oakland amendments, it provides emergency rapid-entry access, eliminating costly forced entry damage during fire or medical emergencies.
