AED Available Inside Signs
An AED Available Inside sign shows that an automated external defibrillator is kept inside a room, cupboard or cabinet, helping staff, visitors and emergency responders recognise where lifesaving equipment is located. It is used on doors, walls and glazed areas where the AED is nearby but not visible at first glance.
Where This AED Inside Sign Should Be Fitted
Fit this sign on the door, wall or nearby glazed surface where people first need to understand that the AED is kept inside rather than in open view. It works best at entrances to first aid rooms, reception areas, sports facilities, schools and workplaces where the cabinet, cupboard or room is close by but not immediately obvious.
How Far Away It Can Be Read
The 210 x 148 mm size suits shorter viewing distances such as doors, corridors and room entrances, while the 297 x 210 mm option is more suitable where people need to spot the message earlier across wider internal approaches. If the AED is further away or around a turn, add extra location signs before the final door.
What Improves Once This Sign Is In Place
When this sign is fitted where people naturally look first, it removes doubt about whether the AED is actually inside that room or cabinet. That matters in urgent situations where hesitation at the door wastes valuable seconds.
- ✅ Quicker recognition that the defibrillator is inside this location
- ✅ Less confusion at doors, cupboards and enclosed AED positions
- ✅ Clearer first aid information for staff, visitors and contractors

Choosing The Right Setup For An AED Kept Inside sign
- ❌ Fixing it too low on a cluttered door where it is lost among notices
- ❌ Placing it only inside the room instead of at the entrance
- ❌ Using one sign alone when the route to the AED is not obvious
- ❌ Do not rely on it by itself if the AED is further down a corridor
- ❌ Do not use it as the only message where a projecting sign is needed
- ❌ Do not choose a non-adhesive rigid option unless you already have suitable fixings
- ✅ Choose self-adhesive vinyl for smooth surfaces and quick fitting
- ✅ Choose adhesive rigid plastic when you want a firmer sign face with easy mounting
- ✅ Use the larger size where people need to recognise the message earlier
AED Available Inside Sign Questions You May Be Asking
What does an AED Available Inside sign mean? It tells people that the automated external defibrillator is kept inside that room, cupboard or cabinet, rather than being visible in the open.
Where should you use this sign instead of a standard AED location sign? Use it where the defibrillator is close by but hidden behind a door, inside a storage cupboard or within an enclosed cabinet that people might otherwise pass without checking.
Should this sign go on the door or next to it? That depends on what people see first. Put it on the door if that is the clearest surface, or next to the entrance if the door opens back, has glazing or could hide the sign when open.
Is this sign suitable for outdoor use? The sign is listed for indoor and outdoor display areas, but the right material still depends on the surface and the conditions at the fixing point.
Will this sign be enough on its own? It will be enough where the room or cabinet is immediately nearby and obvious once reached. If people need help finding the route first, add other AED location signs before this final message.
