Push to open signs clearly guide safe door use in workplaces, public buildings and fire routes, helping users operate doors correctly and reducing confusion
Push To Open Signs clearly instruct users to push doors in the correct direction using recognised ISO symbols and arrows. Commonly installed on fire doors, corridors and public access routes, they reduce confusion, improve movement flow and help ensure safe, compliant door operation in busy environments.
Where Push To Open Signs Should Be Installed
Push to open signs should be installed on doors where users must push to pass through safely, including fire doors, internal access routes, corridors and public entrances. Position at eye level on the door face or nearby surface to ensure visibility before contact. Commonly used in workplaces, schools, healthcare settings and commercial buildings where clear direction prevents hesitation and improves movement flow.
For effective visibility, smaller sizes such as 50 x 100mm are suitable for close viewing distances of approximately 1–2 metres, while larger formats like 100 x 200mm improve visibility up to around 3–5 metres. Selecting the correct size ensures users can clearly read instructions before reaching the door.
