Von Duprin has been making panic bars and other panic hardware for almost 90 years. Since 1908, when Carl Prinzler, Henry DuPont, and the Vonnegut Hardware Company created and marketed the first working device. VonDuprin is actually a condensed version of their three names. Carl Prinzler, an Indianapolis hardware salesman, was the driving force behind the devices as by luck he missed an appointment in Chicago in 1903. This kept him from being in the Iroquois Theater when it burned down, killing 594 people. Since then Von Duprin has become known as the Cadillac of panic hardware.

Using a lockbox to securely hold a key adds a level of security and safety while at home or work. A lockbox at work can allow multiple people to access certain doors using only one key. A lockbox at home can give everyone in the family a way to get in the house. The combination can be changed as often as you like to add extra security.

The lock boxes will hang from door handles, fences, exterior lights, garage door handles, water faucets, or one of many other protruding objects. Some lockboxes are even designed to be screwed into a wall. These can be placed in either a convenient or hidden spot, whatever your choice may be.
