Lock Box

The Lock Box program is intended to provide Police, Fire, and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) access to your residence in the event of an emergency where you are unable to open the door.

A key to your residence will be stored in a secure metal storage device, similar to a realtor's lockbox, near the entrance to your residence. The access code to the lockbox will only be available to Police, Fire, or EMS personnel and used only during an emergency.

Who is eligible?

City of Winter Springs residents, although the program is targeted towards community members age 55 and older, or disabled persons who live alone and/or have major medical issues.

How much does it cost?

There is no charge to participate in the program if you meet the established targeted criteria. All participants will have to provide a spare key to be used in the lockbox.

How do I know this is safe?

A police officer from the police department will install and demonstrate how the lock operates and will answer any questions you may have. The four-digit combination on the lockbox will only be available to responding emergency personnel and will be reset to a new combination if utilized.
