This DANGER – AUTOCLAVE DOOR LOCK sign from CGAP Safety warns in plain, specific words: Residual pressure can eject door. It is written for composite shops, labs and sterilization departments and printed on professional-grade 8x12 .065 aluminum for long-term durability in demanding industrial environments.

The sign reads: AUTOCLAVE DOOR LOCK / RESIDUAL PRESSURE CAN EJECT DOOR / DO NOT DEFEAT / PRESSURE INTERLOCK. The bold ANSI red-and-black DANGER header makes the warning visible from across the work area. Each sign is UV-resistant, rustproof, and pre-drilled in all four corners for fast mounting on guards, doors, frames, posts or fences.

Why buyers choose this sign

  • Hazard-specific wording: Names the exact equipment and the exact hazard, so workers know what is in front of them without reading a procedure first.
  • Industrial-grade .065 aluminum: Heavy-duty, rustproof metal sign built to withstand sun, rain, washdown, chemicals, and harsh work environments.
  • Long-lasting UV and fade resistance: Printed with high-durability inks to maintain clarity indoors or outdoors for years.
  • Pre-drilled for easy mounting: Four corner holes for fast installation with screws, rivets, or bolts.
  • Built to ANSI Z535 color and layout practice: Red DANGER oval on a black header for the highest hazard level.

Why this sign matters

An autoclave door can still hold pressure after a cycle ends, and defeating the interlock removes the only thing keeping the door shut. A door that releases under pressure becomes a projectile with steam behind it. Pressure and stored energy remain in a system after it is shut down, which is why hazardous energy control procedures include bleeding, venting and verifying. A sign at the equipment makes that step visible at the moment someone is about to open or disconnect.

Where to post this sign

Place it at the door and interlock mechanism on autoclaves in composite layup shops, aerospace plants, sterile processing and research labs. Mount it at eye level where it is visible before the person reaches the hazard, and replace it if it is damaged or no longer legible.

Who uses this sign

Composite technicians, sterile processing staff, lab managers and maintenance technicians.

Need a sign we do not make?

Hyper-specific signage is what we do. Most of our catalog exists because someone had a hazard that generic sign companies do not cover.

If you cannot find the right sign anywhere, describe the hazard and the wording you need. Custom and short-run work is normal for us, with no minimum.
