Yes, they do have them but no, they are not free! I think they are just over $200 but, WELL WORTH the cost for our seniors.

This was mentioned before. It is a bad idea for security because a criminal can look for the lock boxes and target those homes where senior citizens live.

You can put a sign in the yard:
Attention Criminals, a Senior Citizen Lives Here. Easy Prey.

 Sounds good on the surface.   But do I really want the Fire Department and the Police to have a key to my house?  No thank you.
