Choose the Right Door Message
Use a KEEP DOOR CLOSED sign when the primary instruction is simply to keep a designated door shut. For doors that also serve as emergency exits, choose EMERGENCY EXIT – KEEP DOOR CLOSED messaging so both the door function and the instruction are immediately clear.
Confirm the purpose of the door and any required wording before ordering, particularly when the sign is being used as part of a fire- or life-safety application.
Keep Door Closed Sign Requirements
Sign requirements depend on the type of door and the code adopted for your facility. For example, the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code specifies FIRE DOOR – KEEP CLOSED wording when a fire code official requires identification for a fire door designed to remain normally closed.
Because requirements can call for specific wording that differs from the products shown here, verify the applicable code and authority having jurisdiction when selecting signage for a rated fire door or other regulated opening.
Coordinate Door Signs with Your Facility
Keep door closed signage is available in multiple sign collections, colors, finishes, and sizes to coordinate with surrounding room, exit, and wayfinding signs. Choose a style that keeps the instruction prominent while maintaining a consistent look throughout the facility.
