Distinctions 844712 Upgraded 5 Black 5 Floating House Number 2

They look great buuut, do yourself a favor and get an 3/16 drill bit and just mount the screws to the numbers. Then get yourself a piece of 1x6 wood and place it over the number and just hit it untill the screws are in all the way. Thr 3/16 hole allows you to push it and fit pretty snug

These were pretty, nice, and very easy to install. Read a lot of reviews saying they were hard, but I didn’t find that they were whatsoever. I just put the screws in the numbers, drilled the holes were I wanted them, then put clear silicone in the holes and put the numbers in there and Good to go! Easy as that.

High quality, nice design, easy to use.

They look nice, but installing them is challenging(at least in stucco). The screw parts dont screw into the numbers perfectly straight on some numbers. Makes it hard to line up a perfect fit with your drilled holes. I ended up using only the top pegs and the numbers just hang in place.

This is the second set of these house numbers we have installed. We have them on our AZ home as well. I love them! They’re affordable; attractive and installation is a breeze.

My wife and I were looking for updated house numbers and we fell in love with these. They are very sturdy and easy to install. The hole locations on the template don’t match up with the screw location so you have to double check and remark the exact locations. Putting them on the house is easy. I recommend using a 1/4” drill bit vs 3/16 to give yourself a bit of wiggle room if the holes are slightly off. The numbers fit snug in the holes and look great!

Looks great, but the screws that come with it are very cheaply made. I bought three numbers, on one of them, TWO screws broke off inside the number, on another just one of them did. Out of the three I bought only one of them held up. Because of the way they broke there was no way to get the screw out, so I ended up just gluing the numbers to the house. I lost the floating look that I initially wanted, but like I said the numbers look good so I cant complain too much. If you buy these be VERY careful attaching the screws to the numbers, and also when attaching the assembled number/screws to your post. NOT worth $6 a piece because of the cheaply made parts.

The letters are modern looking beautiful and, made of metal and designed to give that look of floating. However when I went to install them according to directions, by drilling holes and filling holes with caulk to push in postes, I discovered that my siding was 1/4 inch thin and there was only empty space behind siding because it was in a decorative dormer so that all the caulk just got pushed inside. I would recommend drilling a smaller hole or applying the caulk to the posts as you push in numbers. Or you could use plastic expanding screw plugs that you hammer in first. I had to apply caulk around holes from outside and then use painters tape so the numbers would dry straight.

Lots of feedback and reviews complaining about the mounting hardware. Agreed that they are poorly made and flimsy, but for what they were designed to do - they work perfectly. Heres the trick... DO NOT tighten the mounting posts onto the numbers with a wrench. They WILL snap. Simply hand tighten along with adding a small drop of Loc-Tite or similar thread locker. Dont have that around, Krazy Glue or other CA glue will do the trick. This may not be all that necessary, because once the numbers are installed, there is no way to unscrew the posts when properly mounted into your wall. Drill the holes as described by the instructions, but before you do, mount your posts into the numbers and hold the numbers against each template. Manufacturing precision here isnt great, so mark where the posts actually hit on the template, rather than assuming the templates are correct. Your final 1/4 holes are large enough so that the posts will slide into the holes without any issue. If youre forcing these into your holes, go bigger. Then - caulk as instructed for a perfect mount.

I found a rustic looking wood board on clearance at HomeGoods to mount the numbers on. I forget what drill size I used but it was smaller than 1/4. I gently pushed the numbers in maybe about 1/4 inch deep because I wanted them to extend further out from the board. I then painted with white chalk paint and gave it a distressed look.
