Choose an Out of Service Sign or Decal
With two formats available, select the option based on where the message needs to appear and how visible it needs to be.
- Out of Service Sign – 2 Pack: 9" x 8" rigid signs for doors, restroom fixtures, elevators, or larger equipment where the message needs greater visibility. Suitable for interior or exterior use.
- Out of Service Vinyl Decals – 10 Pack: 2.5" x 2.5" self-adhesive decals for individual fixtures, controls, or equipment where a compact message can be placed directly at the point of use. Designed for interior use.
Out of Service Signs for Restrooms
A bathroom out of service sign should make it clear which restroom, stall, fixture, or amenity is unavailable without suggesting that the entire restroom is closed when only one component is affected. Place restroom out of service signs at the entrance when the full room is unavailable or directly on the affected fixture when the problem is limited to a toilet, sink, dispenser, or other equipment.
For temporary maintenance or repairs, removable or easily replaced temporarily out of service signs help communicate the current condition without adding permanent messaging to the space.
Elevator Out of Service Signs
Elevator out of service signs should be positioned where passengers encounter the elevator and can see that it is unavailable before attempting to use it. Depending on the situation, facilities may need messaging at more than one floor or elevator entrance, so users don’t discover the outage only after reaching another landing.
A temporarily out of service sign can also help distinguish a maintenance outage from permanent directional or code-required elevator signage. When an elevator is unavailable, keep required accessibility, evacuation, and emergency signage visible rather than covering it with the temporary notice
