Hy-Ko Products FM-6/9 Floating House Number 9 (NINE) 6" High Black

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.

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.

I love them! Great quality!

Such a small change for such a great improvement. Matches the Spanish style of our house. Changed out our lights too. The area that we had to attach them to is made of foam and the threads on the mounting screws really gripped the numbers into it. I didn't use the spacers because I find that shadow can make the number hard to read. I tapped them in so they're flush. Nice heavy weight to them.

I'd been looking at various address numbers for a while, it's crazy how expensive something this simple can be so I was glad to see these at a fair price and so I ordered them. Overall I am pleased with the result, however... the instructions, as others have noted, are completely incorrect when it comes to the pilot holes. I ended up having to use a 1/4" pilot hole to accommodate the included anchors. If you follow the instructions there is no way that you'll get the anchors into the mounting surface. Another word about the anchors, they are very brittle and when you use your mallet to place the numbers its all but guaranteed that you will break the outer flanges, this isn't a big deal but it makes the installation look rough so I ended up running a very thin line of caulk around each anchor to clean it up a bit. It ends up looking much better. Others have mentioned the silver spacers, I agree, if they were black they would look a little better but its not enough of an issue to worry about. Another issue people seemed to have was related to the template, I found they matched perfectly so no issue here. Ultimately these are an affordable option that is on par with other more expensive options, just know that you have to measure your own pilot hole rather than following the instructions.

What a difference. These really compliment our homes style. The framing over our garage door is styrofoam so there was no drilling necessary. Just tapped them in. Love them. Also changed out our lights.

I read the reviews and followed others in selecting a larger bit to drill the hole for the anchor.I did NOT paint my spacers black as other reviewers did, it just didn't matter as much to me to have them stay silver.Before doing that, I taped the numbers up to the column. After making sure the numbers (with screws already on) lined up with the dots on the guided number page, I then used a hammer and nail to tap gently in to each guided number hole on the paper to make a mark in the column where I would eventually drill.I took the paper down so I could then drill without having to tear up the paper while drilling.The top number (on our column) was with a larger drill bit, the bottom two numbers I did forcefully with a smaller hole which is why they aren't perfectly lined up. It's not perfect, but I love the look of the numbers.Knowing what I know now, I would buy these again as the third number installation went very smoothly.

I'm and experienced home renovator. Installing these numbers in "relief", about an inch or so out from the mounting surface, is a nightmare. As has been noted by others, some of the numbers are slightly miss-sized, so they may not match up exactly. I used "520", and the "2" doesn't quite match up with the "5". Spacing the numbers correctly is very hard because the numbers aren't uniform and REQUIRE unequal spacing to look good. This is extremely difficult (1) because the screw holes on the paper templates they send are also wrongly placed, as others have said, and (2) because you can't really get an idea of how they will look until you put them in place--after you've already committed to the position.There is also an issue about the correct hole size to use. Earlier reviewers have noted the given drill size was too small (3/16") the for plastic inserts. I used 1/4", per the instructions (which were apparently changed) and that was too big. The attachment/screw design itself is a mess. The plastic inserts themselves are poorly made and often disappear into the hole itself when installing the screw. Mine were also two different types, just to add insult to injury.After much cursing and 1 1/2 hrs I got an acceptable result. The saving grace is the numbers themselves look great, provided you can survive the installation gauntlet.If I had it to do again I'd ditch the plastic inserts and metal stand-offs and just go with the screws themselves, drilling a smaller hole (1/8") for just the screw to fit snugly (I was attaching them to wood). You're still on your own as far as orienting them to each other properly.If you are installing them flush would be a lot easier, but not look nearly as good I think. Good luck.

Nice look, nice size, not too big not too small

size and design were the main features to purchase this item

Great looking numbers!

I really like the modern look and installation was easy. My only gripe is that, the black has faded after less than 1 year. I'll probably repaint it with a quality oil paint but other than that, it displays a number like advertised.

numbers look great on our house and quality seems pretty good. Only time will tell if they fade or lose the paint. Installation was a little tricky, although it came with a template the trouble was keeping the anchors from showing when you installed the numbers offset from the brick wall.
