Pull - Deluxe Engraved Door Plate - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

An essential sign used to clearly indicate that a door should be pulled to open. It improves user experience by preventing confusion, reduces strain on door hardware, and contributes to a well-organised and professional environment. Opting for an engraved metal-effect plate offers superior durability and a more refined appearance compared to printed or adhesive signs.

These plates are typically installed on non-latching swing or latch doors that open by pulling, such as entrance doors, office doors, restroom doors, or doors in shops, schools, and healthcare settings. In high-traffic areas, clearly indicating the correct method of operation helps people move through spaces smoothly and avoids unnecessary damage caused by forcing a door the wrong way.

Choosing an engraved aluminium or brass effect finish ensures the wording remains clear and legible over time. Unlike stickers or printed signs that can fade, peel, or wear off, engraved plates are resistant to scratches and easy to maintain. They are also permanently fixed, making them ideal for busy environments where long-term performance is important.

The plate should be mounted at hand height on the pull side of the door, where it can be easily seen and used. In addition to its functional purpose, a well-designed metal-effect sign complements a building’s interior style—whether modern or traditional—providing both clarity and a polished, professional touch.
