Learn How the eLock System is Revolutionizing Rapid Access Seconds do matter. Having rapid access when you need it helps you mitigate the emergency faster, reduces property damage, and reduces the risk to emergency personnel by eliminating forced entry. However, having a complete audit trail of who used the key, when it was used, and what lock it was used on has not been possible. Plus, the threat of the key falling into the wrong hands or being misplaced will keep any fire marshal up at night. The Knox eLock system eliminates the concern of lost keys and provides complete traceability on the rapid access system. The new system also is extremely flexible as access to certain locks and key boxes can be assigned by the need for access. Presented by: Neal Zipser and Justin Daniels, July 20, 2021
