These attractive, easy to read, 4" high, thick address numbers are made from quality brass that have been black powder-coated for long life and durability, but most importantly readability from a distance.
To install them just follow the instructions that come on the package with each number. You'll need is a pencil, straight edge (for layout and positioning of the pilot holes), and then a power drill and drill bit for drilling the 1 1/8" pilot holes for the number's mounting studs (two per number).
Careful planning of the numbers' final position layout will save you any missteps along the way. To finish up the install, use a rubber-head mallet/hammer to firmly tap them into the surface (in my case wide cedar wood trim), securing the numbers. Stone or masonry surfaces will require using the included white vinyl mounting sleeves that will first have to be countersunk before the metal studs are firmly tapped in place.
I installed 5 address numbers in the more difficult vertical layout and final reading orientation. It took about an hour to do so at a leisurely pace from beginning to end. I carefully determining the stud mounting hole positions in advance before the pilot holes were drilled. NOTE: Making a paper drilling template in advance, showing all those positions, will speed the numbers installation.
