I suppose the handles do form the appearance of quotation marks....

Replying to Arfalicious...the quotation marks are redundant - the instruction doesn’t need them

Hard to believe that Walter would have used superfluous quotations.

If you want to dig, i would guess written by old assistant after they caught their fingers and instead of sympathy Walter said "put a sign up to watch your fingers then, 'cause of the 'heavy doors'" with heavy doors said sarcastically, like if you are a moron who needs a sign to remind them, put a bloody sign up.

replying to Beautiful_Ball1140 : my question regarded the inconsistency of implementation, not the usage in general

No doubt written by Walter after a particularly good batch of LSD. Exclamation marks would have been more appropriate for a warning. Maybe he was quoting one of the voices in his head.

you completely avoided the question.

Just an old fashioned way of adding emphasis. I work with a lot of old and/or more country people and some still do this

the question didnt pertain to usage but to inconsistent usage
