Fire Door Signs

A fire door keep shut sign goes on any self-closing fire door that must stay closed to hold back fire and smoke. Use fire door keep locked on doors to cupboards and risk rooms that should stay locked when not in use.

For doors held open on an automatic release, the automatic fire door keep clear notice tells people not to obstruct them. Fire door signs are normally fixed at eye level on both sides of the door.
