Push Bar To Open Slimline Signs are designed for fire doors where space is restricted, delivering clear instruction without bulky signage. The narrow format ensures visibility at the point of use, helping occupants quickly understand door operation while maintaining compliance with recognised safety standards.

Where Slimline Push Bar Signs Should Be Installed

Install these slimline signs directly above or on doors fitted with horizontal push bars where space is limited. Ideal for narrow door frames, corridors and compact access points, they ensure the instruction is visible exactly where interaction occurs.

With a 75 × 600 mm format, these signs are typically effective at viewing distances of up to around 4–6 metres. They are best positioned for close-range recognition at the door itself, ensuring users clearly see the instruction as they approach the push bar.
