Kevin Whitney of Allegion sent me today’s Wordless Wednesday photos, and I can’t believe what I’m seeing. Even if this sliver of a door is not an exit, there had to be a better way. #wordless!

If this is an NFPA 101 jurisdiction, then the NO EXIT sign is wrong, since “NO” needs to be twice as tall as “EXIT.”
Really? That’s interesting!

Maybe a temporary wall ?
I was curious about the NFPA 101 requirement. And here it is!
According to NFPA 101, Section 7.10.8.3.1, if a “NO EXIT” sign is used:
The word “NO” must have letters at least 2 inches (51 mm) high with a stroke width of not less than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm).
The word “EXIT” must have letters at least 1 inch (25 mm) high.
The word “NO” must be placed directly above, adjacent to, or before the word “EXIT”.
Sounds like a blog post! Thanks Joe! 🙂
