Nite-Glo Turn To Open Anti-Clockwise signs tell people to turn a door mechanism the correct way before opening. Used on indoor doors where hesitation could slow movement, these photoluminescent E018 signs improve low-light recognition and make door operation clearer.

Where Turn To Open Anti-Clockwise Signs Should Be Installed

Install on the approach side of indoor doors that genuinely need an anti-clockwise turn to release the mechanism. Mount close to the operating point at normal eye level so the instruction is seen before contact. This 150 x 150 mm format suits short-to-medium viewing distances near the door.

What Correctly Placed Turn To Open Anti-Clockwise Signs Improve

When these signs are fixed beside the operating point, users understand the door action faster, hesitate less in reduced light and receive a clearer visual prompt on escape and access routes. That makes them especially useful where unfamiliar occupants, visitors or shared-use staff need a direct instruction rather than guesswork.

✅ Faster recognition of the required turning action

✅ Less hesitation at fire doors and access doors

✅ Better low-light guidance where power loss is a risk

? Customers Frequently Asked Questions

6-Pack Nite-Glo Turn To Open Door Anti-Clockwise Signs questions answered

What are 6-Pack Nite-Glo Turn To Open Door Anti-Clockwise Signs? They are photoluminescent safe condition signs used to show that a door mechanism must be turned anti-clockwise before the door will open. They are supplied in a pack of 6 for indoor door locations that need the same instruction.

When should I use this anti-clockwise version? Use it only where the actual operating mechanism releases by turning anti-clockwise from the user approach side. If the mechanism turns the opposite way, slides, pulls or pushes, this is not the correct sign.

Where is the best place to fit this sign? Fit it on the approach side of the door, close to the handle, knob or operating point, where the instruction can be read just before the hand reaches the mechanism. Keep it clear of visual clutter so the message is not missed.

Which material should I choose? Polyester suits smooth indoor surfaces where a slim self-adhesive finish is preferred. Rigid plastic is the better choice where you want a firmer sign face or plan to use separate fixings on harder-wearing internal door areas.

Is 150 x 150 mm the right size for every doorway? Not always. This size works well where the sign is meant to be read close to the door at short-to-medium range. If users need to understand the instruction from farther back, a larger format is usually the safer choice.
