843210 Brushed Nickel Floating Mount 5-Inch House Number 0

These numbers are well made and attractive. They are also priced really well.

I first discovered "floating" house numbers after seeing them on HGTV which was a year or two ago. I had shopped around the big box stores and Amazon and couldn't find them. When I recently had my house painted, I again went on Amazon and was thrilled they had some nice choices. It looks very cool on the house. If I have one negative comment, it's that the number isn't quite as noticable from the street and I think that's because it looses some of it's clarity not being flush against the house color. I still really like the updated look and would highly recommend it.

Exactly what was needed!

Distinctions by Hillman 843216 5-Inch Floating Mount House Brushed Nickel, Number 6 1. First the good-The finish (Nickel) in this case is superb and added a flair of sophistication and distinction. A Plus +2. Carefully examine and unfold the cardboard card you'll see as part of the packaging. to reveal the drilling template so you can mount the standoffs. A Plus +3. The directions offer recommended drill sizes which would leave oversized holes in stucco for the standoffs. I sized an appropriate small diameter pilot drill bit then a slightly undersized one matched to the standoffs' threaded portion intended to penetrate the wall, after using a center punch to mark the center of each hole thru the template into stucco where the mount location was selected, in this case a vertical row. A Minus-TIP: Best Practice: layout the drill templates in the orientation you intended to install either horizontal or vertical. Then tape all the cards together observing the address is correct reading. Now you can center or square the entire full template up and level it. Drill all the pilot holes at once then the larger mount holes. You need to keep your drill straight and centered on the crosshairs or some misalignment may occur.Finally, assuming things didn't go poorly, you can add the adhesive to the anchor threads and gently place each number and or letter into the appropriate holes. A Minus - The standoffs are very delicate due to the material specification and will break without warning unless extreme care is practiced during the insertion process. If you break one you'll need a new replacement number and or letter which comes with new standoffs.The manufacture should consider a review of the drill recommendations and improve the material specification for the standoffs/anchors. Note: If you decided to use the drill size recommendations you'll want to support the letters in some manner (masking tape) to allow the silicone to set and the holes will not be obscured by the characters, but you'll have some wiggle room for adjustment. (Pointless without a quickset adhesive)My Result for the first effort: 3 out of 4, job required one replacement because of a snapped standoff anchor. Slight misalignment with the card template required some stucco repair. Everything looks nice. If someone takes a fancy to the shiny metal, these will part with the structure in moments.

I got these in today and just installed them. I ordered a 2, 5, 4, & 6. I had read the other reviews for the install and was a little worried about the screws snapping off so i took my time and read the instructions well. I drilled the pilot holes at 1/4" and the main holes at 3/16 not a 1/4 as they suggested and I think it worked better but not that big of a difference. When threading the provided screws into the numbers i dipped the stud in a little bearing grease I had in my garage to make sure they thread well, and about 60% of them were a little tough to get started but I used a regular pair of pliers to sink them but making sure it was going in correctly and not miss threading. I love the clean lines and floating or flush mount options, these look great!

I chose this number because it was ridiculously less expensive than what you can get at a home improvement store. Also, the home improvement stores seem to have a "Garden Ridge," "crafts-y" feel. The people providing a majority of numbers on the market don't understand quality design or contemporary, and they'll try to sell something as being modern or contemporary when it is so old-fashioned.These are good construction, easy to install, a decent size and are the best design for the price.

I made a number sign with these and it came out great! The numbers are metal and the mounting hardware didn't seem like there was any issue. Because of the thickness of my sign and the fact that I wanted to mount them flat, I didn't use the hardware provided and instead bought my own which worked out great. These come with templates but those do not match up to the holes in the numbers so I just traced everything on tissue paper and that worked perfectly for me. I've attached photos of the template not matching up, the tissue template I made myself, and my final project. So happy with how it came out and at a fraction of the cost of other numbers!

Very nice styling and build quality topped off with excellent value and customer service👍🏼

Great quality product. Looks great!

Great product. Used for my house # sign that I DIY. Modern and classy.
