Emergency key box: accessibility and safety in emergencies

Emergency key boxes at a glance

With over 40 years of experience as security professionals, we know exactly what matters in an emergency key box.

Our Mergos 15 model comes in a size of 15 x 12 x 3.2 cm. This makes it particularly compact. The model is equipped with two small holes in the back panel for wall mounting. A hammer for breaking the small glass pane is also included. In an emergency, it can be used to break the pane and retrieve the key located behind it.

In direct comparison, we also offer the Mergos 20 model. This model is slightly more generous with a size of 20 x 20 x 5 cm. This model also features a glass pane to be broken. It ensures smooth access to important keys in an emergency.

Areas of application for emergency key boxes

The importance of emergency key boxes should never be underestimated. In case of doubt, this small container can save lives. Such a key box is indispensable, especially for public facilities.

Unlike normal, lockable key boxes, an emergency key box has a pane that can be broken with the help of a hammer or an elbow.

Emergency key boxes can be helpful in the following situations:

• Fires in the building: In this case, an emergency key box helps the fire department gain access to locked areas. In the event of a hotel fire on a higher floor, the fire department can gain access to specific corridors this way.
• Break-ins in the building: Especially if someone breaks into a company building at night and a silent alarm is triggered, for example, a cleverly placed emergency key box can help security personnel gain access to the building.
• Medical emergencies: An emergency key box can also make sense in medical emergencies. It can enable access for rescue teams or to treatment rooms with access to important medications.

Emergency key box: Features and security aspects

Emergency key boxes are made of robust steel and usually feature a breakable glass pane. This ensures that the key is protected but remains accessible in an emergency. Emergency key boxes are kept in the signal color red so that rescue teams and staff can find them quickly in an emergency.

There are models with or without a hammer for breaking the pane. The box itself has a cylinder lock so that it can be opened using a matching key. After inserting the emergency key, the emergency key box is simply locked.
