Finding This Item
The portion of the sign with the word “EXIT” is a separate piece from the outer frame that sits inside the outer housing when fully installed. The outer frame can be recognized by the thicker border on the top of the sign with a thinner border on the sides and no border at the bottom.
Confirming the Dual-Lite Exquisite as the correct model is the shape of the letter E. While all three horizontal lines forming the E are of equal length on most exit signs, the middle line on the Exquisite is slightly shorter than the other two. This feature is also noticeable on the exit sign in Ferris’s bedroom.
