In Emergency Push to Open Sign

In Emergency Push To Open Safety Sign for Doors

The In Emergency Push to Open sign gives a clear instruction for automatic doors featuring a manual override. In the event of a power failure or emergency, these doors can still be pushed open for safe escape. The AS0002 sign makes this clear to building users, reducing hesitation and helping exits to remain usable during an emergency.

Key Product Features:

• AS0002 safety sign from RGL
• Reads “In Emergency Push to Open”
• White text on green background
• Single sided
• Self adhesive
• Dimensions: 150mm x 150mm

When To Use This Sign On Automatic Doors

This sign is designed for automatic doors that can be pushed open if power is lost or the system switches to manual mode. It is ideal for:

• Automatic doors in commercial buildings
• Entrances in hospitals, care homes, and healthcare sites
• Retail, transport, and leisure venues with high visitor footfall
• Office and education facilities with controlled entry systems

By displaying the message clearly, the sign tells users that even if the door does not open automatically, it can still be pushed to release.

For sliding automatic doors with break-out hinges, use the dedicated Break-Out symbol sign. This communicates that the door can swing outwards in an emergency, creating a wider exit route and helping occupants evacuate.

Why Clear Instructions Matter

In an emergency, people may not know that an automatic door can be opened manually. Without clear signage, they may wait for the mechanism to activate or assume the exit is locked. The AS0002 Emergency Push to Open sign prevents confusion to supports safe evacuation.

Signs For Panic And Emergency Hardware

This door sign is designed for automatic doors with a manual override; doors fitted with panic bars or emergency exit hardware require different signage. These signs include operation symbols alongside text to show users exactly how to use the hardware.
