Review on 🏠 Hy-Ko FM-6/1 Floating House Number 1 (ONE): 6" High Black - Stylish and Functional Address Identification Solution by Chris Kirby

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good looking floating/offset numbers

Excellent quality and templates included make it easy to find the number and drill holes. As other people have written in their reviews you will need to use a larger drill bit to get the clear plastic dowels into the holes. Do not force the transparent anchors or you will break them. When inserting the long studs into the numbers I did it by hand first, making sure the screw went in straight and using the pliers to fully tighten the studs in each number. Use lots of masking tape on your templates. Drill all holes straight ahead and then remove all templates. I also tapped the clear plastic underneath the stencils to pick up drilling dust. Then he wiped off all the dust. Then, while hammering in each number, I used the plastic bags the numbers came in to cover the numbers and carefully and slowly hammered in each number. The key is to make firm hammer hits and take your time hammering the numbers in until each of them touches the provided spacers. If you don't feel comfortable installing, ask a wizard to help you. Very happy with the look.
