Distinctionsby Hillman 844694 5-Inch Floating Mount House Bronze, Number 9

Am I rating the quality of the number I bought, or how much I like the number 9? Oh man, this is hard.The quality is good, it seems like it will hold up well. It has to be drilled in no matter if its flush mount or raised off the surface.As far as the number 9 goes, well that's a tough question... I feel like it's 3 times better than the number 3, and AT LEAST 2 times better than the number 4, so it has that going for it. If the number 50,688 was divisible by 9 I would like it more... Oh wait, that is divisible, I'm good. 9 is great.

Looks great but the templates are not really accurate--some of mine were out about 1/8" and needed to be reoriented. Also, templates need to take into account the shape of the numbers and lay them out for how they look in relation to each other not just to have them all exactly the same distance apart. Drill the holes at least 1/32" larger or ream them out well with the drill bit and use P9 glue instead of the caulking for a permanent fit. Have a hammer with a piece of wood ready to drive them into the holes fully. Make sure you either cut the bolts off to length prior to driving them into the board or that you are using board at least as thick as the bolts are long, otherwise they will protrude out the back making it impossible to get a flush fit against a wall.

I purchased the Bronze number 1 and Aged Bronze number 4 hoping the colors were close but they weren’t. So I just spray-painted them oil rubbed bronze to match my light fixture and mail slot. They look great!!Things to note:1- The holes for the number 4 did not align with the template provided, adjust before drilling.2- The drill bit sizes vary on the template provided and the online instructions. The template sizes are the correct sizes.3- Use a wood block and mallet to get the numbers in gently. Caulking is recommended but not necessary.Great product and I highly recommend these numbers!!

These numbers look great on my house, but I didn't open the packages (each number is packaged separately) before handing them over to my handyman to be installed. A few days later, I was standing out in the yard, looking at the house, and I thought the numbers looked odd. I went up close to them, and the 7 is lighter than the other three numbers. I was really disappointed. Most people don't notice it until I mention it, but it just made me sorry I didn't check them before they were installed. Later, I was at Lowe's and they had some similar numbers, also in varying colors. Two staff members were there, and I mentioned that I had the same situation. The manager of that dept. said that they placed an order for the numbers they were short on, and the new ones came in as a different shade, even though they were named the same color. So check them before you install them. Apparently the company did not match the colors from last year's model. I will probably need to remove them and spray paint all of them so that they look uniform. That's a nuisance I shouldn't have to deal with.

The number was not the color stated in the listing and to return it I had to pay the cost! Beware!

Am I rating the quality of the number I bought, or how much I like the number 5? Oh man, this is hard.The quality is good, it seems like it will hold up well. It has to be drilled in no matter if its flush mount or raised off the surface.As far as the number 5 goes, well that's a tough question... I feel like it's nice that it goes into every number that ends in a 0, but the fact that it doesn't go in to 0 itself makes me not trust it... That said, we all know that 7 ate 9, so 6 must be next... That means that 5 is a safe bet. 5 is great.

I ordered 4 different numbers of the same "bronze" finish to put together our house number, but they all had different colors, from bright bronze to almost black/dark bronze. Pretty useless, unless your house number is between 1 and 9.

#5x1qty Finish was different from the #2x3qty (more black than aged bronze) all 4 numbers were deformed and did not match to the drill pattern supplied (out by as much as 1/4") was able to bend to match and make flat again, I also just ordered a new #5, hopefully it's got a better finish to it.

Una de las barrenaciones en el número 5, está dañada y no es posible atornillar el poste de fijación sin que quede tan desalineado que no se puede montar en la pared.

I made a beautiful wood plaque and added the numbers for house. Very nice

I think they are super classy and go well with our brand new home!

These arrived very quickly, of good quality and look fantastic on our house sign. Good product, would definitely recommend and will purchase again.
