FAQs

What does the 'Automatic Fire Door Keep Clear' sign mean?

This sign indicates that the automatic fire door must not be obstructed at any time. Keeping fire doors clear is essential for maintaining fire compartmentation, which helps to contain smoke and fire and allows for safe evacuation.

Is this sign self-adhesive?

No, this sign is manufactured from rigid PVC board and is not self-adhesive. You will need to use screws, mastic, or double-sided tape (not included) to mount it.

What standard does this sign comply with?

The sign is compliant with BS EN ISO 7010:2012, which is the international standard for graphical symbols on safety signs.

What material is the sign made from?

The sign is made from 1mm rigid PVC board, ensuring durability and resistance to damage in typical environments.

How should I clean the sign?

You can clean the sign using a soft cloth dampened with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface or print.

Where is the best place to mount this sign?

Mount the sign on a flat, visible surface near the automatic fire door it pertains to. Common locations include the door frame, the wall beside the door, or the door itself.

Can I use this sign outdoors?

While the UV-resistant ink helps prevent fading, the sign is primarily designed for indoor use. Exposure to harsh outdoor elements may affect its longevity and adherence.

Troubleshooting

Sign is not adhering properly.

Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a stronger adhesive tape or an appropriate mastic for the surface. If using screws, ensure they are suitable for the mounting material and installed securely.

Text is difficult to read.

Check that the sign is clean. Ensure adequate lighting in the area. If the sign is too far from the door or in a location where it's easily missed, consider repositioning it or adding a second sign.

Sign appears to be fading.

While printed with UV-resistant ink, prolonged direct sunlight can eventually cause fading. If fading is a concern, consider placing the sign in a location with less direct sun exposure or replace it periodically.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
