Turn Anti-Clockwise To Open Nite-Glo signs help staff, visitors and contractors operate indoor doors correctly by showing that the handle or mechanism must be turned anti-clockwise, while the photoluminescent face keeps that instruction visible in reduced light where hesitation could slow safe movement
Turn Anti-Clockwise To Open Nite-Glo signs are photoluminescent square door operating information signs used to show that a handle or operating mechanism must be turned anti-clockwise to open. They suit indoor access doors, escape doors and shared-use entrances where users need a clear instruction at the point of operation, even in poor light.
Where Turn Anti-Clockwise To Open Nite-Glo signs should be fitted
Fit this sign on the door itself or immediately beside the handle or lock so the anti-clockwise instruction is seen before the user touches the hardware. It suits indoor access doors, escape doors and shared-use entrances where the opening action must stay clear in reduced light. With a 150 mm sign height, the typical viewing distance is about 15 metres, so it gives earlier recognition than a smaller close-range sign while still working well at the operating point. Choose self-adhesive polyester for smooth clean surfaces, or rigid plastic where a firmer mounted sign is the better option.
What correctly placed Turn Anti-Clockwise To Open Nite-Glo signs improve
When this sign is positioned beside the operating point, it removes uncertainty about how the door opens and gives users quicker confidence at the moment of action. The Nite-Glo face also helps the instruction stay visible in reduced light, which is especially useful on indoor shared doors and escape routes where delay can create avoidable confusion.

Turn Anti-Clockwise To Open Nite-Glo signs questions answered
What does a Turn Anti-Clockwise To Open Nite-Glo sign mean? It tells the user that the handle or operating mechanism must be turned anti-clockwise to open the door. Here, anti-clockwise refers to the turning action of the hardware, not to escape-route direction.
Where should this sign be fitted? It should normally be mounted on the door itself or immediately beside the handle or lock, so the instruction is seen before the user makes contact with the hardware.
Which material should I choose? Polyester suits smooth, clean indoor surfaces where a self-adhesive fixing is useful, while rigid plastic is better where you want a firmer mounted sign for longer-term use.
When should I choose the Nite-Glo version? Choose the Nite-Glo version where the instruction needs to remain visible in reduced light, such as indoor escape doors, shared access points and areas where lighting may be weaker during an incident.
When should this product not be used? Do not use it where the mechanism turns clockwise, where push or pull is the true action, or where the sign would sit too far from the operating point to guide the user properly.
