Screw Cap Fixings Install Guide
Our handy visual guide to help you install your new sign. This manual assumes you are installing your sign onto an exterior brick wall. Contact us if you need help installing elsewhere.
To proceed, you'll need the following:
Your Fixings
The screw caps, screws and wall plugs are included in your parcel alongside your house sign(s). If you need some more screw cap fixings you can order them online on our website.
An Electric Drill
You’ll need an electric drill to create holes in your wall. Ensure the drill is fully charged and equipped with a masonry drill bit.
A Phillips Screwdriver
Use a Phillips screwdriver (with a + shaped head) to carefully tighten the screws and secure the sign to the wall. Avoid using the electric drill for this step, as it may damage the sign, and broken signs cannot be replaced.
Sharpie Pen or Pencil
It doesn’t matter what you use, as long as it leaves a visible mark on the wall where you want to drill the holes.

Step 1
Decide Where You Want the Sign to Go
Your sign can go pretty much anywhere. If you've chosen screws and wall plugs for your sign, you can install your sign into a brick/stone wall, a wooden gate or fence or even onto a door (we recommend not doing this unless your door is old).

Step 2
Drill Out the Holes in the Wall
Drill into the wall/surface where the dots are using an 5mm masonry drill bit. Drill nice and deep so the wall plugs sit flush in each hole.

Step 3
Insert the Wall Plugs in the Wall Holes
Push the wall plugs included in your signs package into the newly-drilled wall holes, until the entire wall plug sits flush against the wall.

Step 4
Unscrew the Screw Caps
The screws can be separated into two pieces: the thicker cap head and the thinner cap base. Thread the silver screws through the cap base, position your sign over the holes, and insert the screws with cap bases into the wall plugs. Secure them gently using a screwdriver.

Step 5
Put the Screw Cap Heads Back on the Bases
Simply attach the heads of the screw caps back onto the bases by screwing them back on. Once you've done that, the installation process is done!
