Home Safety

Residential lockboxes provide emergency responders with secure access to your home during an emergency when occupants are unable to open the door.

Requirements

• 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

Additional Information

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.

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.
