Door Signs

Business Door Signs: Buying Guide

Perfect for use in offices, warehouses and other similar premises, Door Signs act as a welcome to visitors and as a useful source of helpful information. For example, telling someone to push door to open is a simple but important instruction.

As a general rule of thumb, the more information and messages you can communicate to people via clear visual guides, the easier and safer their time on site becomes – provided that signs are only used where necessary and don’t start to overwhelm guests.

Signs such as way in, way out, toilets and canteen are essential in most business locations, and are universally recognised by guests.

Push and pull signs provide simple instructions to those opening doors; without these indications this simple action can be confusing and sometimes embarrassing.

Staff only, no admittance or private signs advise visitors or members of the public that this is a restricted area, not to be accessed by them. This is an ideal piece of signage to clearly illustrate and differentiate staff areas – heightening internal security.

Ring for attention signs give visitors guidance on how to attract the attention of a member of staff should they need to.

Knock before entering signs are ideal for use in offices where delicate matters are discussed or where meetings might be in progress. They help to maintain privacy as well as professionalism.

Reception signs give visitors a clear indication on where they can go to check in or to obtain more information.

Door Signs are there to make everyone’s life that bit safer, clearer and more secure. They are a great way of communicating clear messages to help those unfamiliar with your site to navigate it with ease and to glean an overview of the basic information they need as quickly and easily as possible.

Our varied range of Door Signs contain signage to suit most situations. All signs are available in different orientations, sizes and materials, with alternative message options available. Don't forget to add sign fixings to your order, to ensure your new door signs can be installed as quickly and easily as possible.

Our signs for doors come in a range of styles, colours and materials to blend in, or stand out, as required. Door signs can be used to direct people, draw attention to an entrance, or warn people to keep clear of an automatic door. We also have sliding door signs to indicate if a meeting room or other area is occupied or vacant, and these can be customised to suit your organisation’s unique requirements. In fact, we have many personalised door signs, so do let us know if you have specific needs and we’ll work with you to ensure that you can create something that puts your message across clearly.

Personalised Door Signs

Should you have any difficulty in perhaps knowing which signs would be useful in your business, or you can’t find the exact message to suit your requirements, our industry-leading create and customise service can be used to design your own bespoke door signage.

Other custom door signs available include a range of sliding door signs where you can pick the colour to suit your decor and the message of your choice; you can even pick the fixing type, screws for wooden doors or self-adhesive backing for affixing to glass doors.

Which Door Signs Does My Business Need?

This will depend on the size and nature of your business, as well as the type of business activities you carry out and your company policies. The most important door signs in any business are, of course, those required for safety reasons. These would include things such as Fire Door signs and other signs that transmit important safety instructions, such as No Smoking signs. The Health and Safety Executive sets out which signs are essential for your business, according to the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, and there are also requirements under European Directive 92/58/EEC, which basically sets the minimum requirements for the provision of safety signs in workplaces.

Beyond legal requirements, however, your business may need many door signs to simply aid the smooth running of the organisation. You should assess the various areas of your business premises, paying particular attention to areas accessed by the general public, outside contractors and temporary staff, and ascertain exactly which signs are needed, or those that would make life easier for everyone on the premises.

Whether you want to make it clear where clients should report to with a Reception or Office sign, indicate to temporary staff where the canteen is, or clearly mark private areas so that people do not wander into them by mistake, a simple door sign is often all that is needed.

Door Signs for Glass Doors

Putting signs on glass doors can be useful, not only to communicate information but also, depending on the door’s design, to bring attention to the fact that the door is there. The best type of sign for glass doors is generally a self-adhesive one, preferably one that is easily removable and repositionable. Several of our signs are suitable for glass doors.

How to Make Personalised Door Signs

There are times when personalised office door signs are needed to indicate exactly what a particular room is, or whose office is behind the door. We have a range of signs that can be customised to suit your needs. Our customisable sliding signs for doors are particularly useful as they can indicate if a room, or person, is available, or even whether a particular doorway is currently being used as an entrance or an exit.
