Do all fire doors need a sign?
Most do. Self-closing fire doors usually need fire door keep shut signs; doors to cupboards and risers usually need keep locked shut; doors on hold-open devices need automatic fire door signs. Some doors, such as flat entrance doors and hotel bedroom doors, are commonly treated differently.
Do signs go on both sides of the door?
Self-closing fire doors are generally signed on both faces. Cupboard and riser doors are usually signed on the outside only.
