How to Install Your House Sign

- using stainless Steel stand-off fixings

What You'll Need

• Steel Stand-Offs: these can be found in your package in a brown paper envelope.

• Brass Screws: these can be found in your package in a brown paper envelope.

• Wall Plugs: these can be found in your package in a brown paper envelope.

• Pen: or anything that'll help you dot the marks where you'll want to drill the holes.

• Electric Drill: we recommend using a 5mm masonry drill bit if attaching to a brick wall.

• Screwdriver: make sure it's a Phillips one.

• Spirit Level: this tool is optional, but best to be on the safe side.

STEP 1 / 5

CHOOSE THE LOCATION FOR YOUR SIGN

Steel stand-offs can be mounted on a variety of surfaces including brick or stone walls, wooden fences and gates, as well as both interior and exterior doors. After selecting an ideal location for your sign, proceed to the following step.

MARK OUT THE DRILL HOLES

Align your sign precisely where you wish to mount it on the surface. Then, using a pen, mark the exact center of each screw hole on the sign to indicate where the screws will be placed.

SETTING UP THE STAND-OFF BASES

Insert the wall plugs into the newly drilled holes, then unscrew the stand-offs caps from their bases. Slot the brass screws into the stand-off bases, align to the wall and screw into the wall plugs until they're securely in place.
