What is the maximum height for installing a Knox-Box?

The maximum height for installing a Knox-Box is six feet. This height is specified to ensure that the box is accessible for emergency responders. Firefighters and other emergency personnel often carry equipment and may need to retrieve keys quickly. If a Knox-Box were installed higher than six feet, it could hinder quick and efficient access, potentially delaying emergency response times. The six-foot standard strikes a balance between visibility, accessibility, and safety for responders during emergency operations. This height requirement helps maintain the functionality and purpose of the Knox-Box system, which is to enhance access to secured facilities during critical situations.
