Frequently asked questions
Why is a 'shut the gate' sign important for childcare safety?
Open gates create unauthorised access points and allow children to wander out unsupervised. A visible reminder reinforces your gate-closure procedure and demonstrates your commitment to perimeter security.
Will colorbond fade in the sun?
Colorbond is UV-resistant and maintains colour for 5–7 years outdoors. Some gradual fading is normal; lamination is not required but can extend appearance longevity.
Can I attach this sign directly to a metal gate?
Yes. Pre-drilled holes allow bolting or screwing to metal frames. For magnetic attachment, specify that at checkout and we'll provide compatible backing.
What size should I order for a main entrance gate?
Available sizes are 250 x 180mm, 300 x 225mm, 450 x 300mm, 600 x 450mm. Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
How often do I need to replace an outdoor gate sign?
Colorbond signs last 5–7 years in full sun. Polypropylene lasts 3–4 years outdoors. Lamination extends life by 1–2 years. Inspect annually and replace if fading or damage occurs.
