How to Install Your New ADA Signs

Verify the wall or ceiling surface is smooth and free of any dirt or dust. Complete any wall or ceiling treatments, such as wallpapering or painting, prior to sign installation.
View commonly asked questions below and watch the installation video above for more details.
Where do I hang my ADA sign?
  • An ADA sign must be mounted on the wall next to the latch side of the door. (door handle)
  • How high should I hang my ADA sign?
  • The height of an ADA sign must be between 48-60 inches, though we recommend that the center of the sign is at 54 inches.
  • How far from the door do I hang my ADA sign?
  • There is no regulation on distance from wall to door, though we recommend 2-3 inches.

    5. Sign Mounting Methods
    Install your sign using one of the three sign mounting methods found in the installation guides. Adhesive strips are typically best for mounting and should be included with your order. When installing, it is best to use a level to help keep the sign straight and even.
