The La Grange Fire and Police Departments have partnered with Aging Well, a subsidiary of the Senior Center in La Grange, in establishing a new lock box program, ideal for senior citizens or for residents with special needs requirements, especially those who cannot get to the door easily.

The Knox Box is a 4×5 safe-like device designed either to hang from an entrance door or attach to the outside of a home.  A key to the home is kept inside the box.  In case of an emergency, instead of using blunt force to enter, the La Grange Fire Department would have key access to the box, and thus enter your home without doing damage to your house.

This program could save lives and offer a sense of security to our senior citizens and those in need of assistance.

If you would like more information about how to purchase and install the Knox Box, please contact the La Grange Fire Department at (708) 579-2338.
