Security Brands 15-015 Fire Access Box with Cable Release
The Security Brands 15-015 is the cable-release version of the 15 Series fire access box. It provides a visible emergency access point that can operate a physical release cable rather than relying only on an electrical key switch or padlock-triggered relay. This style is useful where the emergency access design calls for a mechanical release link to a gate chain, latch, or other approved release device. The 15-015 should not be confused with the 15-013 Knox key switch fire box or the 15-014 padlock model. Cable release installations depend heavily on mounting location, cable path, release hardware, and local fire department requirements, so the installation should be planned before the part is ordered.

Technician Note
Fire access boxes should be selected by the activation method required by the local fire department: Knox key switch, padlock, cable release, or another approved method. Do not substitute one 15 Series model for another without approval from the authority having jurisdiction.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the manufacturer part number and any old/new part number references.
- Match the product family and application, not just the brand name.
- Check voltage, frequency, activation method, receiver family, or battery type as applicable.
- Review the existing wiring, mounting location, and enclosure before replacing the part.
- For fire access or line-voltage work, confirm local code and use a qualified professional when required.
Professional Advisory
Access-control and power-management parts should be installed in accordance with the gate operator, access controller, local code, and site safety requirements. For high-voltage wiring, fire department access, or unsafe gate movement, use a qualified gate technician or licensed professional where required.
