🏠 HY-KO PRODUCTS CO FM-6/2 Floating Mount House Number 6" Black #2 - Sleek Design and Easy Installation Review

As a carpenter, installation was easy, but be careful with the instructions. Do not use a 3/16 drill bit for anchors. Too small. You will break the insert and you will have to drill it out like me. A 15/64 or even 7/32 drill bit will do. Tape the included pilot hole chart to the area where you will be setting your numbers. Drill a very straight and parallel hole and carefully insert the inserts. Then tap your numbers with a rubber mallet so you don't hit them. They look amazing and are very…

We used them to change the look of our building. The floating effect is great. One note - the attached anchors are terrible. Should not be used. If you're drilling through rock or brick, get your own anchors. Or do what I did - I didn't have any anchors and didn't want to drill big holes to accommodate the included anchors so a few drops of concrete sealant in each hole and I pressed the numbers in. They have been like this for the past 3 months with no change. They are in direct sunlight for…

These numbers look great on our ETICS stucco house. I like the classy font, it seems to be a variant of Avenir. It is also clearly visible from afar as you approach the house. Ease of installation. I simply drilled with a mortar bit, put in the bushings and applied some Gorilla Glue to the tip for better grip. We didn't bring the letters to the surface because they are next to the lantern and we thought it would be interesting for the spiders to build their nests in the hanging spaces. I don't…

The figures are excellent; much cheaper than the house number website prices. BUT, the instructions are WRONG and the mounting anchors are rubbish. The instructions say to drill a 3/16 inch hole and "drive in" the anchor, then drive the screws into the anchor. The problem is that the anchor won't go in the 3/16" hole when installing on wood. As another reviewer said, you have to drill 15/64" holes to insert the anchors. Some of them were still breaking down when deployed, FYI. I removed the…

I am an experienced handyman. Installing those numbers in "embossed" about an inch or so from the mounting surface is a nightmare. As noted by others, some numbers are slightly different in size so they may not match exactly. I used "520" and "2" is not exactly the same as "5". Getting the correct spacing between numbers is very difficult as the numbers are patchy and require uneven spacing to look good. This is extremely difficult, (1) because the screw holes are also misplaced on the paper…
