- Compact Door-Hardware Format: Measures 2"H x 24"W x .010"D for placement on or above push-bar door hardware.
Ideal Applications
This door to remain unlocked sign is designed for qualifying main entrance or tenant-space doors where key-operated locking is permitted from the egress side and signage is required to remind occupants that the door must remain unlocked while the space is occupied.
Potential healthcare applications include medical offices, dental offices, outpatient clinics, urgent care centers, and other business-occupancy facilities. Confirm that the door, locking arrangement, and occupancy meet the requirements of the code adopted for your facility.
Installation
The self-adhesive vinyl installs on or above push-bar door hardware without drilling or separate mounting hardware. Apply to a clean, smooth interior surface where the message is readily visible from the egress side.
The vinyl can be repositioned shortly after application to help achieve straight placement and removes without leaving adhesive residue.
Compliance
The International Building Code and NFPA 101 both address signage for certain doors permitted to have key-operated locks from the egress side.
Under 2024 IBC Section 1010.2.4, qualifying main exterior or tenant-space doors require a readily visible, durable sign on the egress side stating THIS DOOR TO REMAIN UNLOCKED WHEN THIS SPACE IS OCCUPIED. The code specifies letters at least 1 inch high on a contrasting background.
This sign reads THIS DOOR TO REMAIN UNLOCKED DURING BUSINESS HOURS. Because adopted codes and local amendments may specify different wording, confirm the required message and application with the authority having jurisdiction for your facility.
