Installation & Placement

The required sign location depends on the door type and its function within the building. Install the sign where it can readily be seen on or adjacent to the applicable door, in accordance with NCC D3D28, the project fire-safety documentation and any requirements of the building certifier.

Double-sided adhesive is supplied with the stock sign. The fixing method should suit the door surface and project requirements so the sign remains securely fixed and readily visible.
