Signs for Emergency Exit Doors and Escape Windows

Emergency exit door and window signs are used at the very end of an escape route, right on the door or window itself. When someone reaches the exit, they need to know at once whether to push or pull, which side to hold and where a window leads. The signs in this category are designed for exactly those few critical seconds.

Signs for Exit Doors

• Opening direction signs: ISO 7010 based push to open, pull left or right, slide to open and turn to open signs.
• Side specific signs: push or pull from the left side and from the right side.
• Door identification signs: text and symbol signs that mark a door as an emergency exit.
• Usage rules: notices asking people to use the door only in an emergency and to keep it clear of goods.

Signs for Escape Windows

In some buildings, the escape route runs through a window to a fire escape staircase or a fire brigade ladder. Emergency exit window signs for fire escape stairs and fire brigade ladders make sure these windows are not locked or blocked and that everyone knows they are part of the evacuation route. Apply the sign directly above the window or on the inside of the glass.

Materials for Doors and Glass

Thin, easy-to-apply vinyl stickers are the usual choice for door leaves and glass. For wall-mounted signs, 3 mm PVC (dekota) or galvanized steel are available. A photoluminescent finish is recommended so the sign can still be read in the dark. If you need a size that fits your door, please contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should a push to open sign go on the door? Place it on the door leaf near eye level and close to the handle or push bar, so anyone approaching the door sees it straight away.

How many signs does a double door need? If each leaf opens separately, give each one a sign that matches its opening direction to avoid confusion during an evacuation.
