Fire Push / Pull Signs

Fire Push Pull Signs provide clear operating instructions for fire exit doors and emergency escape routes. Also known as fire door push signs, fire exit pull signs or emergency door operation signs, they help occupants quickly understand how to open doors during an evacuation.

These signs are commonly used in offices, warehouses, factories, schools, hospitals, hotels, retail premises and public buildings where fire exits and emergency escape routes must remain easy to use.

Typical installation locations include fire exit doors, emergency escape doors, final exit doors, stairwell doors and evacuation routes throughout commercial and public buildings.
