San Jose Knox Boxes
SJFD Knox Box Compliance & Installation
The KnoxBox®, a high-security key lock box, is a secure device operable only by the San Jose Fire Department's secure master key. Mandated under California Fire Code (CFC) Section 506 and local San Jose Municipal Code Section 17.12, it provides emergency rapid-entry access, eliminating costly forced entry damage.
