Open/Closed Sign w/Double-Side Magnetic Message Board


Before purchasing this product, I would recommend looking into non-magnetic open/closed signs. The magnetic aspect mixed with the tempermental nature of suction cups on glass leaves a bit to be desired. If (when) the sign falls, all of the magnets fall off of it as well. We put it on our front door (with inset window), but it fell when someone closed the door too hard. We had it on a side window close to the door handle, and it fell (again, all magnets fell off). We have it on a window near the hinges on the door (farther from handle, where most of the "bang" occurs when the door shuts) and it hasn't fallen yet.

All that to say: try looking into open/closed signs that have the good ol'-fasioned white letters that stick into grooves (hope that made sense).

Nonetheless, it has a nice appearance and is adequate for our needs, so we're going to keep it.

There aren't a huge amount of letters, so you may want to order some extra letters if you're going to use, say, a "z" five zillion times (I don't think they produce that many "z's," so be warned).

Also, when it arrived the open/close portion didn't move very well (it was sticking somewhere). I found it was easy to take it apart and fix the problem (a plastic slider was in the wrong position), in case something like that happens to you.

Hope my review helps.
