Distinctions844711 Black Upgraded 5" Floating House Number 1, Old Model

This is exactly what I’ve been searching for. This number looks great on my new house. So modern and sleek. Directions were very easy to follow and come with a template to drill the holes. Would purchase again

As others noted, use the templates BUT make sure to note your own screw marks on the templates once you screw the backing pieces on the numbers.

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.

The peg to make the number “floating” when mounted broke off in the number 4. Very annoying.

I did not end up keeping these. But actually have used this brand/style before & love them. Just wanted to warn other potential customers that not all numbers are free returns and therefore return via different services.

I've read a lot of reviews about these over the years and the consensus was that they were cheap and the mounting bolts were crooked and the instructions were bad. This review is written 11/2020 and I can reassure people that those issues are no longer a problem.I ordered 4 numbers...each of them were solidly made, the mounting bolts screwed in easily (do it by hand, of course) and the installation was fairly easy.Go by the instructions in terms of how to install. Earlier reviews said to ignore those instructions but they are more substantial now and the size of the drill bit you need to use is 100% accurate (earlier versions had smaller bolts and said to use 1/8" bit...only use that if you want to drill pilot holes).The proper size of drill bit to use is 5/16" Wiggle it around a bit as you go in and out to give yourself a little room. the 5/16" bit drills a hole that is SNUG but that's what you want with these. I didn't even have to use any kind of adhesive gel/silicone to keep them in.STILL DO NOT USE THE HOLES MARKED ON THE TEMPLATE. As others have suggested, place your number over the template (bolts down on the paper) and mark where those bolts hit with a marker or pen. That way, you know exactly where those bolts will hit for the drill holes.Tape up your templates with a level and ruler so they are even and straight, then use your punch to hammer in the marks where your bolts hit on the template. Give it a good pop for each one and then take the numbers down.Drill your holes and give it a little action as the drill goes in and as it goes out.You'll find that the fit is still tight but accurate.At that point, I went from one number to the next, just getting the bolts in place with the holes and then tapped them each in by putting a cloth over each number and using a rubber mallet to tap each bolt area of each number.Voila. Quick and easy and accurate. Took me about 15 minutes to install 4 numbers and again, I didn't need to use any epoxy or silicone to keep them in. They're snug and solid (I installed into wood so if you're going into masonry or brick, make sure you're using a masonry bit. The rubber mallet is the secret weapon here...you can get some pressure on the installation process without damaging the numbers or bending them. Just be sure to cover them with a wash cloth or something so you don't leave any marks.Overall very happy with these and the process itself. Even a novice could do it. Just take your time marking the templates with the bolts, take your time getting the templates level and the numbers spaced properly and you'll be good to go.

Used these for a home made address, looks super professional. Great build quality and cheaper to buy here than I could find at any big box store.

The finish and quality of these are great. They come with a template to use for mounting and instructions on hole sizes for floated or flushed. The wall mount side of the hardware has conical ridges, the number side is threaded. I did have to use a tap and clean up the threads first because the coating had gotten in and the hardware didn’t all thread easily. It’s unfortunate that’s necessary but I recommend the same because there was enough resistance on the first few to make me nervous about snapping the hardware. That would be my only criticism.

Los números sobresalen de los típicos números completamente pegados a la pared, gracias a los tornillos-postes.Sin embargo no alcanza 5 estrellas porque son algo caros, los tornillos son frágiles y si usas la guía que trae para hacer los agujeros (que no coinciden con la realidad), es común que los tornillos entren tensos y se rompan.Para que no se te rompan los tornillos como a otros usuarios:1) fija primero los tornillos a los números2) En un cartón-guía haz hoyitos dónde quedaron exactamente ubicados los tornillos, deben caber todos los números en el cartón.3) usa el cartón-guía para marcar y taladrar.

Product is exactly as shown. BEWARE! If you plan on using them as floating numbers, the threads on the numbers aren’t finished properly. The piece which screws into the numbers is soft aluminum, so if you try to force it too hard, it will snap right off(happened to me). If you have the tools to re-tap the holes, that’s what I ended up doing and now they work great. Shouldn’t be necessary though, which is why I gave a lower score. Amazon did replace the one in question no questions asked.

Para instalarlos que queden “flotantes” es súper difícil porque se les tiene que dar vuelta al mismo tiempo años tornillo, tanto el que va a la pared como el que va a los números y es todo un rollo, no queda bien a menos que tengas herramienta especial. Le hicimos como pudimos pero quedaron unos hoyos raros en la pared.

Poor screws that break too easily. Unfortunately I won't be able to use this number as the broken part is stuck in it.Edit : I received a replacement for this broken part. The final result is great as expected. So I moved the evaluation from 1 to 3 stars.Because of the poor quality of the screws, I cannot go further.

I wanted to update our house numbers for some time and had seen these numbers used in several other people’s projects, they are exactly as advertised. Love that they have a 3D effect when mounted.
