Rescue personnel follow different procedures. In most cases, emergency personnel are authorized to break into your home to help you and cannot be responsible for any damages as a result of gaining entry. We recommend that you purchase a MobileHelp lock box to safely store your house key. Your lockbox code will be stored on your account and given to emergency personnel to gain entry to your home without damage. If you have your own lock box (not purchased from MobileHelp), please call MobileHelp Customer Support at 1-877-827-6207 to ensure your code is noted on your account.
