Access boxes are small, wall-mounted safes that secure keys to access points, such as a building or gated community. Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) personnel use a universal key to access the box, which enables entry for emergencies and minimizes forcible entry tools use.

The HFD prefers a Knox Box. Visit https://www.knoxbox.com/ for information.
