What do Master Keys allow access to?

Master Keys for the Oklahoma City Fire Department are designed to provide access to all Knox products within the assigned jurisdiction. This means that fire department personnel can efficiently access emergency equipment, resources, and areas that are protected by Knox security systems, which include padlocks and key boxes used for building access during emergencies.

This comprehensive access is crucial for emergency response and ensures that firefighters can reach vital resources without delay. The use of Master Keys streamlines operations, especially in situations where time is of the essence.

In contrast, limited access options would hinder the ability of the fire department to respond effectively. For example, if Master Keys only allowed access to specific Knox padlocks, it could lead to delays in response times in critical situations. Similarly, access that is limited to restricted areas or only public safety buildings would not meet the broader operational needs of the department.
