About Us

Over thirty years ago, a property owner entered into a lengthy discussion with the fire inspector about the issues and concerns of reliable and secure fire department access to buildings. As a result of this discussion, a unique concept in fire response was born and the Knox Company was established as the first company to take on the challenge of developing a rapid entry system specifically designed for firefighters.

In 1975, Knox introduced a security lock box as its first product. Today, Knox provides a variety of products for over 9,000 departments and governmental agencies throughout the US.

As Knox expands both its mechanical and electronic product lines, we’re looking for a few great people. If you’re one, give us a call.

Knox is proud to offer products that are American Designed and Manufactured. As has been our tradition for over 30 years, our products will continue to be produced in the U.S.
