Kidde 002048 Keysafe P500 Key Cabinet Alarm Switch

Product Description

The KIDDE 002048 is the Keysafe P500 key cabinet with integrated alarm switch, designed for secure key storage in facilities where fire alarm system coordination is required. The unit provides a tamper-evident key holding solution that ties directly into a building alarm circuit, triggering a signal when the cabinet is opened. It is a panel accessory intended for installation by licensed fire protection contractors, security integrators, or licensed electricians working on commercial and industrial fire alarm systems.

The Keysafe P500 with alarm switch is used in commercial and industrial settings where fire departments, emergency responders, or facility security require rapid access to keys without forcing entry. Typical installations include office buildings, multifamily residential properties, warehouses, and other occupancies where the authority having jurisdiction mandates a key lockbox with alarm monitoring capability. It is sold as an individual unit and is compatible with standard P500-series mounting configurations.
