  • RESIDENTIAL LOCKBOX PROGRAM

  • The Glendale Fire Department's residential lockbox program allows emergency personnel and police to access a key during medical or other emergencies requiring forced entry. This voluntary program is designed for residential properties, where a visible hanging lockbox facilitates access for emergency personnel.

    A Senior aged 62 and older, or have a special need, or disability A resident of the City of Glendale Living alone with a chronic illness, at risk of falling, or have a history of emergency calls If you don't live alone, both must have the above criteria *Or are referred by Glendale Fire or Police

    The Glendale Fire Department administers the program and assigns lockboxes individually. Information, installation details, and access instructions for each lockbox are securely stored within the emergency dispatch database systems of the City of Glendale Fire and Police Departments. This ensures confidential information storage and facilitates a systematic emergency response. Best of all, the program is free for qualifying residents.

    It is important to note that installation of a residential lockbox does not provide homeowners with a "lockout service". Therefore, if a homeowner accidentally locks themselves out of their home, the City of Glendale will not use the lockbox program to grant access to the residence.

    Follow these easy steps to get your secure lockbox!

    Thoroughly read the information provided above. For questions about the program, please contact the Glendale Fire Department at 623-930-4455.

    After submitting your application, please allow 3-5 business days for a Glendale Fire Department staff member or volunteer to contact you.

    Upon approval, your residence will be scheduled for lockbox installation. Lockboxes are installed once a month by authorized personnel. Prior to the installation date, you will be contacted to confirm someone will be present during the installation.

    *Upon installation, the lockbox can ONLY be used by emergency personnel should you require emergency help.
