Do Not Enter signs
Use a do not enter sign to keep people out of a room or area for a set reason.

Each comes as a PDF in A5, A4 and A3, portrait and landscape. The symbol is a red circle with a bar across a walking figure, with the wording underneath. Print at actual size and laminate for repeated use.

Print tips
- Print at "actual size" or 100%, not "fit to page", so the margins stay even.

- For outdoor or long-term use, laminate it or buy a rigid version.
Where to use it
- Meeting rooms and consulting rooms (meeting in progress)
- Exam halls and test rooms (exam in progress)

- Stores, work areas and plant rooms (hazardous area)
- Darkrooms and rooms with a red light outside the door
Questions
Is "Do not enter" different from "No entry"?
The meaning is the same. "No entry" is the standard UK phrase; "Do not enter" is a more direct instruction and suits temporary reasons such as a meeting.
Does the sign stop people legally?
A sign tells people what you want. It does not give you any legal power on its own.
What does the red light sign mean?
It is for a room where a red lamp outside the door is switched on while work inside must not be interrupted. You need to fit the lamp yourself.
Which size should I print?
A4 for most doors. A5 for small doors and glass panels, A3 for double doors and gates.
