Schlage P774358Click To Copy Delayed Egress Door Signage, Regulatory Compliant

This Delayed Egress Signage, Schlage P774358, is designed to clearly mark doors equipped with delayed egress locking systems, such as the Schlage M490DE series electromagnetic locks. It provides crucial information to building occupants regarding the operation of the delayed release mechanism. The sign features text, typically indicating a message like "PUSH UNTIL ALARM SOUNDS. DOOR CAN BE OPENED IN 15 SECONDS," to guide users during an emergency or attempted exit. It is essential for compliance with various building and life safety codes, including the International Building Code (IBC) and NFPA 101, which mandate specific wording, visibility, and placement. The signage must be readily visible, durable, and located above and within 12 inches of the door's exit hardware. Regulatory standards often require minimum letter height (e.g., 1 inch) with a specified stroke width and contrasting colors for legibility.
