Door Signage for Clear Room and Safety Information
A sign should communicate its message before anyone reaches for the handle. MacBlair stocks door signage for identifying rooms, facilities, instructions and safety information around a building.
Choose wording and symbols that match the location and any formal safety requirement. Size, contrast, viewing distance and mounting height all affect whether the sign can be understood quickly.
Position the sign where an approaching user will see it, using fixings or adhesive suited to the door or wall finish. Do not cover certification labels or operating hardware. Check the wider door furniture range for compatible parts, and match the fixing arrangement with suitable door hinges where the installation requires them.
