open / close

These signs are for the general concept of being "open" and being "closed."
ASL has more specific signs for open and close depending on your topic. Often time you mime a specific act of opening something. Or you use an "instrument classifier." For instance, to open a can of beans I'd mime the act of turning the crank of "can-opener" with my right hand while holding onto the can of beans with my left hand.
