The LOCK FOR LIFE program provides emergency access to your residence for Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) personnel when you are unable to open the door. The program is available to all residents of Lower Merion who are age 55 and older, and for disabled persons who live alone and/or have significant medical problems.
Lower Merion Township (LMT) emergency personnel believe this effort will directly increase the chance of survival following a medical emergency.
A key to your residence will be stored in a lock box in proximity to the entrance to your residence. The access code will be available only to Police, Fire and EMS personnel, and it would be used only during an emergency when responders cannot make entry into your home without using force. This capability enables responders to gain quick and easy access, thereby greatly enhancing their ability to access the sick or injured. And without damage to the property.
The Lock for Life program is available through ElderNet of Lower Merion and Narberth and is administered by the Lower Merion Township Police Department. To learn more about Lock for Life, contact ElderNet 610-525-0706 www.eldernetonline.org or LM Police 610-645- 6240 www.lowermerion.org.
