Life safety signage is the one category where getting it wrong isn't just a bad look — it's a code violation. This builder starts you from standard, code-aligned wording for each sign type and lets you adjust from there if your local jurisdiction requires different phrasing.
Choose a template — Exit Stairs, Area of Refuge, Fire: Do Not Use Elevator, Stair ID (with floor number and exit-discharge direction), or a compact Floor Level Marker — and edit the headline, detail line, or floor-specific text as needed. Because exit and life-safety signage identifies a required egress route, full §703.2/703.3 tactile compliance applies throughout: ADA Compliant Mode forces sans-serif, uppercase text and sizes braille dots to your sign's real physical dimensions.
The Stair ID template in particular covers what many jurisdictions require at every stairwell landing — floor number, roof access status, and the floor range with exit-discharge direction — all in one sign instead of a custom order.

Does the wording meet code, or do I need to change it?
Each template starts from standard wording aligned with common NFPA/IBC phrasing, but exact requirements vary by state and local jurisdiction. Edit the headline, detail, or footer text if your inspector requires different wording — everything on the sign is editable.
What's a Stair ID sign, and do I need one?
Many jurisdictions require a sign at every stairwell landing showing the floor number, whether there's roof access, and which floor is the exit discharge level. The Stair ID template is built for exactly that — set your floor number and the footer text (e.g. "1 THROUGH 4 ↓ DOWN TO LEVEL 1 FOR EXIT DISCHARGE") and it lays out and sizes automatically.
Do all life safety signs need braille?
Yes — because this signage identifies a required egress route, full §703.2/703.3 tactile compliance applies across every template here, unlike purely informational signage.
Can I order signs for every stairwell and floor in one batch?
Yes — build each floor's Stair ID sign with its own floor number and footer text, keeping the same shape, color, and mounting across the batch so your whole stairwell system matches.
