Distinctions 844712 Upgraded 5 Black 5 Floating House Number 2

Turned out nice. However, a couple of the pins wouldnt twist in and I ended up snapping them trying to use a pliers to twist them in. Luckily they were on numbers that had three pins so it didnt cause issues when hanging them.

Looks perfect on the wood sign for the front of our house!

Great looking once installed, but mounting screws were a little difficult to put into the numbers. It seemed like the threads werent all that great on a few. Overall, they look good!

Looks great.

Be sure to use 5/16 drill but instead of 3/16 as the mounting instructions for floating numbers says. Otherwise, easy to do, and looks great!

Very good. There is not much to say about these except they are easy to install and look great. The mounting pins on the back do not match up with one another so they are a bit difficult to install especially on uneven surfaces, but the included guides do help.

I read a lot of the reviews before ordering and installing twelve of these numbers (3 lines of 4 each). All these complaints about the templates and checking allignment with the numbers are - simply - silly. In my humble opinion, anyone who found themselves with an allignment issue actually had a problem with their setup and drilling, not with the templates. The setup and drilling does require a certain amount of precision in order to get everything aligning perfectly. In my case, there was a challenge there as I was drilling into an uneven (stucco) surface. As such, I needed to exercise some persuasion (like another reviewer, a rubber mallet with cloth over the respective digit). That was sufficient to end up with a visually perfect installation. My recommendation: ignore all the comments about checking template alignments and questioning drill sizes. The directions are simple and clear enough, and all the technical aspects are correct.

Great numbers. Used as floating mount for my new number sign for my porch. Look very classy. Loved the template in the packaging to make sure holes are drilled correctly, very helpful. One issue, after I drilled the holes I inserted numbers to make sure straight and holes deep enough before proceeding. Even with great care to gently lift the numbers back out I sheered off 2 of the screws. Luckily one screw was still complete and a little liquid nails at the breaking point held it in place. Either dont insert into holes until ready to glue, or manufacturer maybe make better screws?

Great quality and love the design!

Like other say, they look great, but you can’t trust the templates. Looking close I saw that two of the three posts aligned with the templete and the third was slightly off. That slightly was enough to make trouble when mounting though, so drilled only the two holes, then pressed the number with all posted installed into the house to see where the third post left a mark to know where to drill the final hole. Worked just fine. Also sawed the posts much shorter so didn’t have to drill so far into my siding. Such light weight numbers do not need to be mounted nearly that far into the siding. This will help siding and eventual replacement of the numbers. My last numbers where 20 years old and posts snapped off in siding when trying to remove, leaving me to have to grind post below surface before could putty over and paint. These post are cheap cheaper metal, so very likely to snap on removal if mounted their full length.
