Kyle Lockbox Program

The City of Kyle Emergency Management Division has partnered with Knox-Box Rapid Entry System, a voluntary program designed to help senior citizens and individuals with disabilities by ensuring fast, safe access for emergency responders.


 

What is the Knox-Box System?

The Knox-Box is a secure, tamper-resistant lockbox that holds a spare key to your home. In an emergency, this system allows first responders to enter your home quickly and safely without having to force entry.

  • Voluntary enrollment

  • Increased safety during emergencies

  • Fast access for emergency personnel


 

Who Qualifies?

To be eligible, you must:

  • Be a Kyle resident,
    AND

  • Be 65 or older and live alone,
    OR

  • Be under 65 with major medical conditions that may render you incapacitated and live alone.

    *Certain residents may not meet eligibility requirements to participate in the program if they live in a location that is managed by an onsite staff or management team; such as apartments, skilled nursing facilities, and senior communities that are managed by a professional staff.

  2. If eligible, you’ll receive a secure Knox-Box to install at your home.
