Fire door sign on door leading edge

Featured Replies

Is this acceptable? I always thought that fire door keep shut/closed signage should be visible on both sides of the door leaf. This was the only signage on the fire door on the leading edge of the door. 
unfortunately it will not let me upload an image.
