Automatic Fire Door Keep Clear - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to indicate that an automatic fire door must not be obstructed at any time. These doors are often connected to a building's fire alarm system and will close automatically in the event of a fire to help contain smoke and flames. The disc’s message reminds people not to block the doorway or place items in front of the door, which could prevent it from closing properly in an emergency.

When installed on automatic fire doors in corridors, lobbies, stairwells, and other key escape routes within public, commercial, or industrial buildings they ensure doors stay clear and protect escape routes and supports the building’s fire compartmentation strategy. They are especially important in areas where fire doors are held open by magnetic devices or automatic closers, as obstructions could delay or stop the door from closing when triggered.

These discs are mechanically fixed and have a standardised design, complying with fire safety signage standards such as BS EN ISO 7010. Their consistent look ensures they are instantly recognisable and easily understood. This makes them a more reliable and compliant choice than stick-on plastic signs, which may fade, peel, or fail to meet regulatory standards.
