door signs

Room identification markers

Door signs are notices displayed on doors to communicate information, instructions, or status.

They range from permanent markers like room numbers and names to changeable indicators: The door sign said "Do Not Disturb".

Common examples include "Push/Pull," "Open/Closed," "Restroom," and office nameplates.

In hotels, guests hang door signs to signal privacy or request housekeeping.
