Elevator Room Signs

Elevator room signs are essential for identifying and securing areas where elevator machinery and equipment are housed. These rooms contain critical systems such as controllers, motors, and power supplies that must remain accessible only to authorized personnel. Clearly marking these spaces with durable elevator room signs ensures that firefighters, inspectors, and maintenance staff can quickly locate the equipment during emergencies or inspections. Proper signage also helps keep unauthorized individuals out of restricted areas, protecting both safety and compliance.

An elevator room (often called Elevator Machine Room or Elevator Equipment Room) is required in many buildings and is regulated by FDNY, NFPA, OSHA, and local building codes. Signs typically read “Elevator Room,” “Elevator Equipment Room – Authorized Personnel Only,” or “No Storage Permitted in Elevator Room.” Photoluminescent or ADA-compliant options are also available for added visibility in power outages. By installing elevator room signs, property owners meet legal requirements while enhancing safety, organization, and quick access for trained responders.
