No other manufacturer meets the 422 nd Fire and Emergency Services requirement for key stability, ability to withstand weather extremes, and construction features. Specification of Knox Box 3200 Series Rapid Entry Systems is essential to the Government's requirements, precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company. Use of multiple manufacturers for exterior emergency key storage boxes with multiple codes jeopardizes the security & lives of Installation facilities and safety of facility occupants in the event of an emergency.

The lock portion of the front steel plate will require having a heavy gauge Stainless steel top hinged Lock Cover complete with a means of placing a tamper proof seal on it (to show unauthorized attempt) that will facilitate the secure storage of keys & any other item(s) that will facilitate entry in to a facility. The "Knox Boxes" branded item being specifically requested are to supplement those already installed to the outside of many of the buildings in use across all 3 bases to allow Emergency responders (Fire & Security Forces) to gain entry without resorting to force during silent hours. The Knox Box 3200 Series is a commercial off-the-shelf item available to the general public in the same form as provided to the Government. The Knox Company uses no distributors to sell their products. All products are sold factory direct to the end user.
