Fire Exit Door Man Left Pack of 6 Signs help you identify the correct escape door in workplaces and public premises, reducing hesitation when people need to leave quickly. Choose rigid plastic or self-adhesive vinyl to suit the mounting surface.
Fire Exit Door Man Left Pack of 6 Signs identify a fire exit using the left-hand running-person and open-door symbol. They help you guide staff, visitors and contractors at exit doors in workplaces and public premises, reducing hesitation when an evacuation route must be recognised quickly.
Where to install
Install these signs above the relevant fire exit door where the left-hand emergency-exit pictogram matches your escape arrangement. Keep the face unobstructed and visible on approach so people can recognise the exit before reaching the door, rather than searching for it under pressure.
Choosing the right viewing distance
Choose by the furthest normal approach rather than door width alone. These distances are cautious selection guides, not certified maxima. Lighting, mounting height, viewing angle and the actual graphical-symbol height all affect how far away the sign can be recognised.
| Sign size | Practical approach distance | Best selection approach |
|---|---|---|
| H 150 x W 300 mm | Around 15 metres | Short to medium approaches |
| H 150 x W 450 mm | Around 15 metres | Same height with a wider message face |
| H 300 x W 600 mm | Around 30 metres | Longer approaches and larger spaces |
Expected safety outcomes after installation
Placed where people can see it before reaching the door, this sign gives a clear cue to recognise the exit earlier and commit to the correct door. That reduces hesitation, wrong-door checks and last-second searching when an evacuation route needs to be followed quickly.
✅ Earlier recognition of the intended exit on approach
✅ Less hesitation when people reach the doorway
✅ More consistent exit identification across multiple doors

When this version is the wrong fit
❌ Using the left-hand pictogram where the intended escape arrangement requires another direction.
❌ Expecting the sign itself to remain luminous in darkness; it is non-photoluminescent and non-reflective.
❌ Using it alone where your fire risk assessment requires additional directional information or emergency illumination.

Set the exit up for a clear approach
✅ Confirm the left-hand symbol matches the actual exit arrangement before fixing.
✅ Position it above the door with an unobstructed approach view; guidance commonly places signs above doors at about 2.0 metres from floor level.
✅ Apply vinyl to a clean, dry suitable surface or secure rigid plastic with fixings appropriate to the substrate.

Frequently asked questions
Are Fire Exit Door Man Left Pack of 6 Signs suitable for every fire exit? No. Use them only where the left-hand emergency-exit pictogram matches the intended exit. If the escape route requires a directional arrow, choose the appropriate directional sign instead.
Do these fire exit signs glow in the dark? No. They are non-photoluminescent and non-reflective, so you should make sure they remain adequately visible under the lighting arrangements provided for your escape route.
Which size should I choose? Base your choice on the furthest point from which people need to recognise the exit. The 150 mm-high versions suit shorter approaches, while the 300 mm-high option gives you a larger face for longer approaches.
Should I choose vinyl or rigid plastic? Choose vinyl when a self-adhesive application suits the mounting surface. Choose rigid plastic when you prefer a separately fixed sign; fixing materials are sold separately.
Can these signs be displayed outdoors? Yes, outdoor display is included in the supplied product specification. You should still select a suitable mounting surface and fixing method for the actual location.
Can I use this sign instead of directional arrows along a corridor? Not automatically. Where the escape route changes direction or the next stage is not obvious, directional arrow signs may be required as part of the escape-route signing arrangement.

Compare fire exit door and route directions
For broader left-direction route guidance, compare the running man left fire exit sign range. This can help where the message is needed along the route as well as at exit doors.
Where a final exit directs people to the right, review the final exit man right pack of six signs. Using the correct directional version prevents conflicting instructions between different exits.
If you need a hanging-format left exit message, consider Nite-Glo left-running-man hanging signs. This provides another presentation format for the same general escape direction.
