Exit and entrance signs for rent, door by door

EXIT with an arrow, a hand or Exit Down

S-2427 has 15 two-way EXIT arrows in the book, white plastic with red letters, written 10"x14". S-2392 reverses the colors, red with white letters, with 4 in the same plastic and size, and S-0386 adds 3 at 14 by 10 inches with a red border, so most of the 36 signs in the table below point both ways.

In that table the right arrows are S-0413, 7 at 14 by 10, and S-0418, a 14 by 4 inch strip that S-0419 repeats pointing left. Its other left arrows are S-1935, the same strip size in brown on white, S-2484 at 10 by 7, and S-0131, 25½ inches wide, whose arrow comes with a hand. S-0281 points down; S-1514 spells out Exit Down on cardboard, where its book line trails off. S-0523, Emergency Exit Only, and S-1303, Entrance, also carry arrows and are tabled with that wording below.

EXIT, To Exit and Exit Only, with no arrow named

With no arrow named, the 12 EXIT, To Exit and Exit Only lines in the table below, 24 signs, run from S-2369, EXIT with the international symbol at 5 inches wide and 7 tall, through S-1368 at 9" x 3", S-1127 and S-1369 at 9" x 6", S-0417 at 10 by 7 and S-0351 at 12 by 8, to the 14 by 10 lines and S-0511, written 33" x 11"t.

S-1127, with 6, and S-1369 share a size, but the book calls one solid white and the other opaque white, so compare photos before planning one run. To Exit is red and white metal on S-0099, 14 by 8, and S-0674, 14 by 10; in this table Exit Only is S-0781, white and blue metal. Exit lines EC files in other categories include S-1998, Exit Stairwell #12 Authorized Personnel Only, whose book line breaks off after SPECIFY NO#, under Office Signs and Restricted/Gov't Signs, and S-2063, Exit/Salida, under Spanish Signs.

Emergency Exit, alarm and door-use wording

Emergency Exit, alarm and door-use wording says how a door is used as well as where it goes. From plain Emergency Exit, as on S-0422, which the book calls 2 sided without naming a mount, the lines here climb to Emergency Exit Only (S-0698, S-0523) and This Door For Emergency Exit Only (S-1547), then to orders and warnings: Keep Area Clear (S-0878), Do Not Block in black and orange (S-0955), Press Handle in yellow with black letters (S-1513), Alarm Will Sound (S-2315) and Do Not Open Alarm Will Sound (S-3127).

S-0533, masonite, and S-1517, metal, are 4 inch strips 27 and 24 inches long, the shape that runs over a door frame, while S-1513 stands taller than wide at 12 by 18. EC does not supply expendables, so bring pads to the will-call dock in North Hollywood and keep the masonite S-0533 and the cardboard Exit Down sign, S-1514, padded apart from the metal signs.

In this guide's tables, green appears only on S-3135, Fire Exit with a figure exiting; EC also files it and S-3127 under Fire Related Signs, with more exit wording such as S-1272, Emergency Exit Only This Door Alarmed. Lines EC has put in no category turn up in the stock book search on the home page: searching Alarm Will Sound also finds S-2705, Emergency Exit Alarm Will Sound If Door Is Opened, red and white metal written 14" x 10".

NOT AN EXIT, for the door that goes nowhere

A door that opens onto a closet or the back of a set wall gets NOT AN EXIT, and the table below holds 7 such lines, 13 signs. Red and white: S-0415, 11 by 8; S-0825, metal, 14 by 10; the plastic S-2438 and S-2469, written 10"x14". Black and white: S-1370, 14" x 5", and S-2182, metal, 26 by 6. Yellow and black with a red circle: the metal S-1512.

S-2438 and S-2469 share a size and a material, but the book gives their colors in opposite order, red/wht and white/red, so compare their photos before hanging them as one run. S-1427, This Is Not A Fire Exit, sits under Fire Related Signs, and more Not An Exit lines are in the book outside any category.

Entrance, Enter Only and the way in

S-2418, Enter Only, with 3 in the book, and S-1515, Not An Entrance, are both white and black plastic at 14 by 10 inches, a pair for a lobby's in and out doors. In this group, plain Entrance is S-0303, black and white metal at 10 by 2½ inches, and S-1303, metal with a right arrow, sized 24 x 10 with no unit; S-0907 reads Entry Point, 26 by 12.

S-1393, Do Not Enter, Exit Only, is 30 inches tall with no legible width. S-0185, No thoroughfare, is a white and blue metal strip, like S-0781 and S-0782 in color and material. S-2032, a wooden Danger Follow Confined Space Entry Procedure Before Entering sign, is 26 inches wide and 3/4 inch deep where its book line stops, before any height, and is also filed under Loading Dock Signs. Emergency Entrance signs, S-2237 and S-3193, are under Hospital Signs.

Signing a floor at 14 by 10 inches

Each of the five door groups above has a line at 14 by 10 inches, 18 lines and 59 signs between them, but within those groups only the wordings in the table below come at that size; Entrance, Entry Point, Press Handle, Keep Area Clear, Fire Exit, Do Not Enter and the left-only EXIT arrows above are among those that do not. Of the 18, 13 are written 14 inches wide by 10 tall; S-2315, S-2392, S-2427, S-2438 and S-2469 are written 10"x14" with no width mark, so check their photos for which way each reads. Among these 18, red and white comes in metal and in plastic, white and blue only in metal, and white and black, and black and orange, only in plastic, so name the material and the colors on the hold list when a run has to match. Left arrows at this size do come up in the stock book, though they are not on any category page: S-0412, red and white at 14"w x 10"t like S-0413 but with no count on its own book line, and S-2391, 5 in the red plastic with white letters of S-2392, written 10"x14".
