FAQs
What materials is the sign made from?
The exact material composition is not specified, but it is designed for durability and clear visibility in indoor environments.
Can I mount this on a glass door?
Yes, you can mount it on a glass door using the included adhesive stickers. Ensure the glass surface is clean and dry before application.
How do I change the status from 'Vacant' to 'Occupied'?
Simply slide the indicator on the sign to the desired position. One side will display 'Vacant' and the other 'Occupied'.
Is the adhesive removable without damaging the door?
The adhesive is designed for secure mounting. While it can be removed, some residue may be left behind, especially on delicate surfaces. Gentle heating with a hairdryer might aid removal, followed by cleaning. Test on an inconspicuous area first if concerned about surface damage.
What are the dimensions of the sign?
Specific dimensions are not provided in the product information, but it is designed to be clearly visible on standard doors.
Can I use this sign outdoors?
This sign is intended for indoor use. Exposure to weather elements may damage the sign and affect its functionality and appearance.
Does the sign come with both magnetic and adhesive options?
Yes, the sign includes both a magnetic back and adhesive stickers, providing two versatile mounting options.
Troubleshooting
Sign does not stick to the door.
Ensure the door surface is clean, dry, and smooth. If using the magnetic back, verify the door is made of a ferrous metal. If using adhesive, press firmly for 30 seconds and ensure the surface is suitable for adhesion. Consider using a stronger double-sided tape if the included adhesive is insufficient for the surface.
Slider mechanism is stiff or won't move.
Check for any obstructions or debris around the sliding track. Gently try to work the slider back and forth. If the issue persists, ensure the sign is mounted on a flat, stable surface.
Letters or graphics are peeling.
This typically occurs due to harsh cleaning. Use only a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. If minor peeling has occurred, it may not be repairable without affecting the sign's appearance.
