OLADOT 5" Stainless Steel Floating House Number, Metal Modern House Numbers, Mailbox Decor Number with Nail Kit, Coated Black (9) or (6)

Before buying, you'd want to know what the size of the numbers you are replacing. Mine were 4", so going to 5" not a big change, but the modern numbers do take up more real estate on the wall. Be aware that the more you space them apart, the larger they appear, and once you mount them, they are NOT coming off the wall without considerable effort and some patching and painting. The backing card for each number is a mounting template that you can pin/tape to your wall where you will be mounting. You can use a light nail to mark the center of each of the three holes you'll need to mount each number - you can simply tap the nail through the mounting template after you are sure that's where they're going (did I say there's NO going back after you drill without some patch/repair first...). The good news is that the templates are accurate, so if you mark and drill accurately, mounting is easier. One of the things they DON'T tell you on the instructions is the diameter of the drill bit you'll need to drill to insert the anchors. The way these anchors work is that you have to get the hole JUST right for width and depth, because the anchors, even if the numbers aren't yet mounted, do NOT come out easily and are meant to both hold to the wood and expand as you pound the numbers into the wall (this true whether you use the floating spacers or not and are just mounting them flush). The anchor holes have to be slightly longer than the anchors or you'll have to use some extra force to get the numbers to insert deeply enough. The numbers must be tapped in relatively evenly, meaning that you'll have to move pounding the upper part of the number to move to the lower part of the number until they meet the spacer or the wall (depending on whether you're mounting floating or flush). I used a thick piece of corrugated cardboard to pound on and protect the numbers. I had to use a surprising amount of force, using a rubber mallet, to get them into the wall and worried I'd damage the numbers in the process. Fortunately, it all looks great the they are perfect. Depending on where your numbers mount and wet exposure, you may want to use some caulk around the base of the spacers using a toothpick to protect from any moisture getting into the drilled hole. Hope this helps, I'm satisfied with the result and thought it was worth the time.

good solid product, exacly what i wanted :(

Cute numbers on my house. Couldn’t figure out why number 9 was more expensive than number 6, so I returned 9 and kept 6, but turned it around to use it as 9. No one can tell.

Great numbers just the perfect size 5 inches. Color pops on the wall so you can see far away. The floating look is great. Installation is not difficult I wish the template would come with the holes already. Love the look of the home.

Well, it took several weeks for me to get up the nerve to drill into my new columns. I thought that the two screw holes that were together were level, but they were not. I did center the numbers using the single hole on the top or bottom, using the edges and print on the backing of the package. I carefully taped them all up and drilled the holes as instructed. And it worked. I am amazed. I did it with such precision. These look really good and I appreciate the instructions provided. My family liked them as well. They were well-made and the hammering on them required to install them into the holes I drilled caused no damage to the front of them. Very happy.
