San Francisco Knox Boxes
SFFD Knox Box Compliance & Installation
The KnoxBox®, a high-security key lock box, is a secure device operable only by the San Francisco Fire Department's secure master key. Mandated under California Fire Code (CFC) Section 506 and local SFFD Administrative Bulletin 5.05, it provides emergency rapid-entry access, eliminating costly forced entry damage during fire or medical emergencies.
