This review is written 11/2020 and I can reassure people that those issues are no longer a problem.I ordered 4 numbers...each of them were solidly made, the mounting bolts screwed in easily (do it by hand, of course) and the installation was fairly easy.Go by the instructions in terms of how to install. Earlier reviews said to ignore those instructions but they are more substantial now and the size of the drill bit you need to use is 100% accurate (earlier versions had smaller bolts and said to use 1/8" bit...only use that if you want to drill pilot holes).The proper size of drill bit to use is 5/16" Wiggle it around a bit as you go in and out to give yourself a little room. the 5/16" bit drills a hole that is SNUG but that's what you want with these. I didn't even have to use any kind of adhesive gel/silicone to keep them in.STILL DO NOT USE THE HOLES MARKED ON THE TEMPLATE. As others have suggested, place your number over the template (bolts down on the paper) and mark where those bolts hit with a marker or pen. That way, you know exactly where those bolts will hit for the drill holes.Tape up your templates with a level and ruler so they are even and straight, then use your punch to hammer in the marks where your bolts hit on the template. Give it a good pop for each one and then take the numbers down.Drill your holes and give it a little action as the drill goes in and as it goes out.You'll find that the fit is still tight but accurate.At that point, I went from one number to the next, just getting the bolts in place with the holes and then tapped them each in by putting a cloth over each number and using a rubber mallet to tap each bolt area of each number.Voila. Quick and easy and accurate. Took me about 15 minutes to install 4 numbers and again, I didn't need to use any epoxy or silicone to keep them in. They're snug and solid (I installed into wood so if you're going into masonry or brick, make sure you're using a masonry bit. The rubber mallet is the secret weapon here...you can get some pressure on the installation process without damaging the numbers or bending them. Just be sure to cover them with a wash cloth or something so you don't leave any marks.Overall very happy with these and the process itself. Even a novice could do it. Just take your time marking the templates with the bolts, take your time getting the templates level and the numbers spaced properly and you'll be good to go. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Free returns are NOT on all numbers!! *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2022* I did not end up keeping these. But actually have used this brand/style before & love them. Just wanted to warn other potential customers that not all numbers are free returns and therefore return via different services. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fussy guy NOT in agreement with other critical reviews (particularly about templates/hole location) *by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2021* I read a lot of the reviews before ordering and installing twelve of these numbers (3 lines of 4 each). All these complaints about the templates and checking allignment with the numbers are - simply - silly. In my humble opinion, anyone who found themselves with an allignment issue actually had a problem with their setup and drilling, not with the templates.The setup and drilling does require a certain amount of precision in order to get everything aligning perfectly. In my case, there was a challenge there as I was drilling into an uneven (stucco) surface. As such, I needed to exercise some persuasion (like another reviewer, a rubber mallet with cloth over the respective digit). That was sufficient to end up with a visually perfect installation.My recommendation: ignore all the comments about checking template alignments and questioning drill sizes. The directions are simple and clear enough, and all the technical aspects are correct. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/10578709-distinctions-843197-black-floating-mount-5-inch-house-number-7](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/10578709-distinctions-843197-black-floating-mount-5-inch-house-number-7) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
