Room Flags Perspective

The exam-room status flags for the wall by every door. A mount with the room's number at the top and two to four swinging flags down its face — READY, WITH DR, CLEAN, or your own words — in your colours, the word raised on both faces so it reads from either end of the hall. Each flag drops onto its pin and clicks flat or out. Two screws and it's up.

At the top of the mount - a number, a letter, a short name. Leave it empty for none.

What each one says (up to 10 characters) and its colour - top to bottom.

How it works. The mount screws to the wall beside the door (two countersunk holes; strips work too). Each flag's hub drops onto its pin from above and swings: flat against the wall means nothing, swung out square to the wall means what it says. A bump on the shelf and a notch under the hub click it flat or out, so a draught doesn't move it. The word is raised on both faces, so it reads walking either way down the hall. Two, three or four flags; the mount prints standing in one piece, the flags flat.

What to say. READY / WITH DR / CLEAN is the classic set; NURSE, LAB, X-RAY, VITALS, a provider's initials - whatever your rooms need. Order one mount per door; the room number is on it.
