FAQs
What is the Open / Closed Sign?
The Open / Closed Sign is a slim aluminum sliding sign for a shop door or window. A slider moves between "Open" and "Closed", locking into place at each end so it stays where you set it. It measures 17.1″ × 2.1″ (43.5 × 5.3 cm), weighs 1.8 lbs (0.8 kg), and comes with re-stickable adhesive pads.
What else is the Open / Closed Sign called?
The Open / Closed Sign is also known as an open sign, shop open sign, trading hours sign, or door sign. Because it slides rather than flipping or hanging, it stays fixed to the glass and can't be turned the wrong way round or lost.
How does the Open / Closed Sign work?
A slider moves horizontally along the sign to show either "Open" or "Closed". A small bump on the top edge of the slider catches in a hole at each end, so it clicks into position and stays there — even when the door is shut firmly.
How do I install the Open / Closed Sign?
On glass, use the adhesive pads supplied: position the sign, then hold it firmly in place for 30 seconds so the adhesive bonds. On timber, metal or brick, a stronger adhesive is needed — worth getting a builder or handyman to fit it.
Can the pads be repositioned?
Yes. The pads are re-stickable, so the sign can be moved if you don't get the position right first time, or if you relocate it later.
Can the Open / Closed Sign be used outdoors?
It's aluminum, so it's weather-resistant and durable — but we don't recommend mounting it in full exposure to wind and rain. Inside the glass of a door or window is ideal: protected from the weather, and readable from the street.
How big is the Open / Closed Sign?
17.1″ (43.5 cm) wide by 2.1″ (5.3 cm) high, weighing 1.8 lbs (0.8 kg).
What other open sign options does George & Willy sell?
We also sell our Opening Hours Sign, which allow you to display your hours of operation in more detail.
We absolutely love the sleek, minimal design of this sign. It looks clean, modern, and fits perfectly with our space. The quality is great and there are no functional issues at all — it’s been super helpful for us.
The only suggestion I would make is offering a blank version without the “Opening Hours” header. That way, businesses could customize the top with their own vinyl lettering. For example, we printed a sticker to cover the “Opening Hours” text so we could change it to “Front Desk Hours.”
Overall, we’re really happy with it. It’s been especially useful since our gym has staffed hours, but members can access the space during unstaffed times. This sign has made that much clearer for people stopping by.
Every one of the products I have purchased has been of top top quality, really well crafted and well though out. there's always enough letter and numbers and they don't break when you're taking them out of the packaging. Everything has a nice solid feel. Delivery is good and items packaged well. And on top of all there is really good customer service. I have recommended G&w to my friends at coutume and KB coffee here in Paris and many others
The sign arrived beautifully packaged as with all of your products. The instructions were simple and it was a breeze to fit to our new front door! Thank you the quality was so great and it looks fresh and funky x
Thanks so much for your support, Kerryn!
Nice and high quality product. Quick delivery.
Thanks so much Olivier!

The hour sign was in great quality, and easy to install. The velcro it came with locks in tight, and are ready to come off when needed. Highly recommend!
Really happy to hear this, thanks for your support Kyle!
Amazing, thanks so much Brandi!
This was exactly what I was looking for. My hours change in the summer versus fall and I wanted a clean and simple design I could put on my shop door but have access to occasionally update my hours
Hi Janet, we're glad you love the sign! Perfect for updating your hours seasonally. Thanks for your review!
The signs are great and the letter combination is generally good. Not all of the presets are relevant for situations outside food service, but they're nice to have. Assuming these are meant for attachment to glass, I did have one issue — on a few signs, the foot would come off the glass because the Velcro was so strong. Design is great overall.
Nice look but hope it has a other glue option. It doesn’t look great from outside
Another well-made sign by George and Willy!
I needed a small window sign to tell folks who drive through that visits are by appointment only. I’m a solo small biz owner with a new art studio and 3 kids. My hours are variable. This fit the bill! I like that I can chafe the message when I’m ready. Easy to install. I had to abbreviate appointment due to the vertical orientation fitting the window best. No big! Love it.
I’m so happy with the quality and functionality of my new retail signs from George & Willy. What an amazing find!!!

I appreciate good design and this sign it the only one of its kind and caliber. Arrived in time for our grand opening and looks lovely on the glass!
When I first opened my shops I installed vinyl on the doors with our operating days and hours. As the business changed it was impossible to keep up with without spending a lot of money due to printing minimums. I opened my 3rd shop with these signs and have since replaced the vinyl at my other two stores with them as well. They look very professional and allow for the flexibility I need as business needs change.
love the sleek look & amazing quality of this product!
This company has great friendly and efficient customer service, cool and hip products that have only enhanced my business image.
Exactly what we needed—it’s visible if it’s open or closed from a distance. We’ve added the opening hours on it and it looks like they were there from the start. Expensive but great.
The sign was perfect for the florist shop door! It went on with ease and is very smart and simple to use. The Cypriot lady owner was very impressed!!
We love the physical process of sliding open the sign to begin our day. It’s now part of our morning ritual.
The George & Willy sign is one out of the box, literally! From the moment the timber box arrived, our crew were in love! Easy to put straight up in window of our front door. We have zero issues getting the crew on-site of a morning, everyone wants to open!

Looks high quality and in keeping with a polished outfit.
The sign looks great, is clearly visible through our tinted front door, and is just a clean and slick look.
Hey Jack, stoked to hear you love your sign! Thanks for your purchase.
Super super Stylish!
