Lock boxes have been a condition of a business permit in many cities. They are supposed to be for the fire department and other emergency personnel to be able to get into a business if they need to.
Somehow I never imagined a fireman fumbling for the key to a lockbox when he had an axe at his ready and a plate glass window in front of him.

Years ago, apartment building I was living at had arson fire. We evacuated all the apartments without issue. When fireman showed up they took door off my apartment with pry bars, if they had tried door knob they could have walked in, left it unlocked as I was leaving.
I said as much to my father (about leaving door unlocked), his comment was if you had the training to remove a door why not use it.
