Fire Protection Door Keep Closed At All Times Sign

The Fire Protection Door Keep Closed At All Times Sign provides a clear and highly visible instruction that a designated fire protection door must remain closed. Displaying this sign helps remind employees, residents, visitors, contractors and other building users that the door performs an important fire safety function and should not be left or wedged open.

Suitable for offices, factories, warehouses, schools, hospitals, care homes, hotels, apartment buildings, shopping centres, industrial premises and other buildings fitted with fire resisting doors, this sign can be positioned directly on the relevant door where it can be clearly seen by approaching users.

Fire protection doors can form an important part of a buildings passive fire protection and compartmentation arrangements. When correctly installed and closed, a suitable fire door is designed to resist the passage of fire and, where applicable, smoke for a specified period, helping separate different areas of the building.

Keeping the door closed helps maintain the effectiveness of the fire resisting compartment in which it is installed. A fire door that has been wedged, propped or otherwise held open may allow fire and smoke to spread more readily if a fire occurs.

The Fire Protection Door Keep Closed At All Times Sign provides a permanent visual reminder not to leave the designated door open for convenience. This can be particularly important on frequently used routes, in service corridors, plant areas, storage rooms and other locations where there may be a temptation to prop doors open.

Where a fire door needs to remain open during normal operation, an appropriate approved hold open or free swing device linked to the buildings fire alarm system may be required instead of simply wedging the door open. The suitability of any such arrangement should be determined as part of the buildings fire safety provisions.

Fire protection doors should remain unobstructed so that they can close fully into the frame. Furniture, stock, waste, equipment, floor coverings or other objects should not prevent the door or its self closing mechanism from operating correctly.

The sign can form part of a wider fire door identification system alongside Fire Door Keep Shut signs, Automatic Fire Door Keep Clear signs, Fire Exit Keep Clear signs and other notices used to communicate the correct operation and management of fire resisting doors.

Fire doors and their associated components should be inspected and maintained at appropriate intervals. Checks may include the condition of the door leaf and frame, hinges, self closing device, glazing, seals, latches and other components relevant to the particular installation.

Any damage, excessive gaps, defective closing mechanisms or alterations that could affect the doors fire resisting performance should be investigated and addressed by a competent person. The sign should also remain clearly visible and should be replaced if it becomes damaged, faded or illegible.

Signage should complement rather than replace appropriate fire risk assessment, fire door inspection, maintenance, staff information and effective management of fire compartmentation. Building users should understand the importance of keeping designated fire protection doors closed and avoiding practices that could compromise their operation.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Fire Protection Door Keep Closed At All Times Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for identifying doors that must remain closed. It helps reinforce good fire door management, discourage doors from being wedged open and support the effectiveness of the buildings fire protection arrangements.
