Hanging door safety barrier sign
Description
The Robert Scott Hanging Door Safety Sign - 'Closed For Cleaning' (item no. 101442) is a telescopic, spring-loaded bar with a bright yellow hanging warning sign designed to prevent entry to areas while cleaning is in progress. It fits standard doorways from 70–95 cm wide and measures approximately 105 cm at full width and 70 cm when closed. Manufactured from flexible, hardwearing materials with rubber end caps, the sign forms a visible barrier across the doorway, rolls up for compact storage when not in use, and can also be adapted as a general 'Closed' sign by folding the lower section and securing it with studs.

Contraindications
- Not suitable for doorways outside the recommended width range of approximately 70–95 cm.
- Should not be used as a load-bearing or safety restraint device; it is intended only as a visual and light physical barrier.
- Do not use if the spring mechanism, bar, sign or rubber end caps are damaged or excessively worn, as this may prevent secure fitting or clear visibility.
- Not designed for use in environments where more robust physical barriers or regulatory safety systems are required (e.g. construction exclusion zones).
Adverse Effects
- If incorrectly fitted, the bar may become dislodged, potentially causing minor impact or trip hazards.
- Improper placement may reduce visibility of the sign and lead to ineffective warning or confusion.
- Worn or damaged rubber end caps may reduce grip and increase the risk of the sign slipping from the doorway.
Storage Conditions
- Roll up the sign and store in a clean, dry area when not in use.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high heat, which may cause fading or degradation of materials.
- Do not place heavy objects on top of the stored sign to avoid deforming the bar or damaging the sign panel.
- Keep away from sharp objects or chemicals that could cut, tear or degrade the flexible sign material or rubber end caps.
Duration
Used only for the duration of cleaning or temporary closure; the sign is removed once the area is safe and ready for normal use.
Onset
Immediate; once the bar is in place and the sign is visible across the doorway, it acts as a physical and visual barrier to indicate closure.
