Frequently asked questions
Can this sign be used on a fire-exit door?
Yes. Fire doors can be fitted with alarmed egress hardware and must carry a warning notice. The door remains fully operable for emergency egress under NCC rules; this sign does not lock or restrict the exit.
Is this sign required by building standards?
The appropriate safety-sign category, wording, placement and supporting controls depend on the product purpose, site risk and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with your WHS adviser or regulator; a sign alone does not discharge WHS duties.
What size works best for a standard doorway?
Available sizes are 225 x 300mm (Small), 300 x 450mm (Medium). Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
Should I use lamination on a door sign?
Lamination is recommended for doors in high-traffic areas or exposed locations (e.g., external fire exits). It protects against scuffs, moisture, and UV fading.
How is the sign attached to the door?
Pre-drilled holes are available for screw mounting. Adhesive-backed vinyl is also an option for smooth door surfaces. Stainless-steel fasteners prevent rust and corrosion.
