Key Lock Box

Edina Fire Code requires that all businesses and multi-unit housing complexes utilize a key lock-box system in order to give emergency personnel access to the building in cases of after-hours medical or fire emergencies.

The Edina Fire Department uses “Knox-Box” key boxes, which must be ordered from the manufacturing company.

The Fire Department keeps a record of every "Knox-Box" in the City and is the only entity to possess a master key to open the lock-boxes. A "Knox-Box" is unique to the municipality where it is located, meaning only the Edina Fire Department can open a lock-box in Edina.  

Residents may also purchase a residential "Knox-Box" if they wish to provide the Fire Department easier access to their home in cases of emergency. Lock-boxes are only used in times of emergency. Contact the Edina Fire Department for more information.

Upon selecting your desired model under “Online Purchases,” enter the zip code where the product will be installed and select “Edina Fire Department.” Once the lock-box arrives, contact the Edina Fire Department at 952-826-0378 for installation instructions, to have the box inspected and the building keys locked up.
