Sign translation

[alirose]

I want to put up a sign that say something like "please leave closed" or "please leave this (door) closed" But when I try to write it is sounds like spoken Chinese, not like a real sign. Can anybody here help? Thanks!! (x-posted)

Maybe 请勿开门？

But they have to open it to get through, they just shouldn't leave it open.

Oh. I didn't get that. How about 开后请关 or 用完请关？

[alirose]

oh, 开后请关 sounds perfect! 谢谢！

PS: you going to the pool party tomorrow? If so, see you there!

出门请关门 maybe?

请随手关门

I echo this. It sounds good. =)

请随手关门. The nice thing about this wording (besides it being correct :) ) is that it's something most students learn in their first year of study -- no difficult characters, and plenty of reinforcement from the environment around them, if they're studying abroad or in an immersive environment.

I have seen this one a lot on my travels - both with and without the 请
