HY-KO PRODUCTS CO FM-6/2 FLOATING MOUNT HOUSE NUMBER 6" BLACK # 2

Great quality and the included templates made deciding the number location and drilling the holes much easier. As other people have said in their reviews, you need to use a larger drill bit so that the clear plastic anchors will fit in the holes. Don't force the clear anchors in or you will break them. When putting in the long studs into the numbers, I did it first by hand, making sure the screw in straight and the used pliers to fully tighten the studs into each number. Use plenty of tape on your templates. Drill al holes straight and afterwards remove all the templates. I also tapped a clear plastic below the templates to catch all the dust from drilling. I then cleaned all the dust off. Then, when hammering in each number, I used the plastic packages that the numbers came in to cover the numbers while gently and slowly hammering in each number. The key is to do solid hammer taps and take your time hammering in the numbers until each one is touching the included spacers. If you are not comfortable installing these, get a handy person to help you. Very pleased with the look.

I liked the design and reviews helped me make a decision.I would like to add though that if you're installing the numbers horizontally, it may require additional prep time, as in how far you want the numbers from each other especially when you have different thickness numbers like mine. Also, some numbers are taller then others and it's important that you first align all numbers the way you want it with screws attached. Take pictures to confirm the placement. Then after they are placed the right way, poke the guides in the right places and leave the guide papers on the screws. Then tape all the guides together and use the complete template guide to level it on the wall. Then after it's leveled, tape it to the wall and drill. This will ensure that all the numbers are leveled and properly aligned among each other.If your wall has texture, your bit may slip a little, something to keep in mind.The installation itself is super easy. Measuring and alignment took 5 times longer.

The product seems fine, sturdy and well made. Installation a bit tricky since it's screwed in from the back there is no easy way to transfer the hole pattern to where you need to drill. The supplied template seemed like the best solution they could offer but the letters are not flexible and if you get it wrong then you've got holes in the wrong places--not good. What I did was screw the bolts into the letters, position them where I wanted, then traced around the bolts where they touched and drilled there. Seemed to work and it lined-up fine. Also, instead of painting the spacers as some have done, I found that the small black hose for my deck watering system was the same diameter and just cut lengths of that to slip over the bolts. Easy, and the finished result worth the extra effort.

I purchased four numbers for our house. My husband installed them with ease. The numbers are sturdy, have weight, and are a quality product. I highly recommend. Most importantly, they are attractive and elevate the curb appeal of our home.

It worked great! These house numbers give the house a more modern look! We got 6” just because of our space. Be sure to look for the paper template hidden in the box. We almost didn’t see it and it helps a lot when aligning the numbers.

These are beautiful house numbers, well made and sturdy. Really nice powder coat finish. The mounting scheme is actually pretty clever, including a special stand-off sleeve if you want that "floating look" or you can mount them flush. Yes you really will want to use a rubber hammer because you must forcibly strike the face of the number multiple times to get the posts to sink into drilled holes. My only complaint actually only applies to the number 5. Unlike for example, the number 1 which I also got, which has the holes inline with the center of the number, in the case of the 5 there are several holes that are off-center. That's fine because there is a paper template, BUT centering the template is not so easy because it only has the hole pattern, not a centering line for reference. This made it difficult to line up multiple numbers.

I crafted a house number sign for my house with these numbers and they were easy to install. After three years the paint has dulled a bit from the weather and sun, but a little bit of car wax and it was good to go once again. Have made a number of other house number signs for family members using the same brand. Happy with them overall.

These are actually a bit bigger than I was expecting (I know, it says so in the descriptions). Like everyone else said, the instructions are a bit off (on the drill bit size). I installed mine on stucco so I had to actually used the larger drill bit it recommended to be able to insert the included anchors. The problem was that the anchors would go into the wall when I tried to put the screws in. Ended up having to use my own anchors that were slightly larger. End product looks great. Just be sure to measure twice and drill once.
