What Customers Are Saying

The product has a modern, sleek design that many customers find appealing. However, the quality of the included mounting hardware is a major concern, as it is reported to be delicate and prone to breaking during installation. Some suggest using alternative mounting methods like silicone caulk or industrial glue to secure the numbers, as the provided hardware is unreliable. Despite the hardware issues, most customers are satisfied with the overall appearance of the numbers, especially when used with exterior lighting. Careful installation, such as using a smaller drill bit, is recommended to avoid the hardware breaking.

Numbers are niice but....

Would Not Recommend

I installed these address numbers today. The mounting screws are very flimsy. They break really easy so be careful.

Cheaply made

As all of the others said, the screws provided for these numbers snap extremely easy. Had I read these reviews in advance, I may have tried to use different screws. Instead, I’m left with screws that are broken inside the number so I’m forced to either take them back of silicon them on. If you choose to buy this item, find better screws! It’ll be worth it.

Prongs that go into backing surface break

Would Not Recommend

Also, the side of the letters pits after a few years. Fine if your letters are high above the house but not so good if they are adjacent to the door. One star because I like the artistic design.

Check your template before drilling!

Would Recommend

COMPLETELY disappointed in the quality control for the template for the number "2". I wish it would have occurred to me to have lined up the number w the lift screws screwed in and compared it to the template before drilling into my 64 year old siding. The top hole should be atleast 2mm to the right for the number to be horizontally level. Also - using a 1/4" drill bit is MUCH too big! The holes are visible when mounted as floating. I'm hoping more silicone & paint will cover them. I also wish...

Love the look, hate the instructions/materials

Would Not Recommend

I absolutely L-O-V-E the look of these #s. My dissatisfaction comes from the instructions & the material used. The packaging states to “use a small adjustable wrench or 1/4” end wrench to attach studs”...this is WRONG as anything more than hand tightening causes the studs to break due to cheap material. Also, for the FLUSH mount option, I don’t see any point in using a 1/8” drill bit first followed by a 5/16” to finish. The 1/8” step is unnecessary I find when FLUSH mounting. This was attached t...

Perfect style

Would Recommend

The Hillman numbers are the perfect size and font for a more modern look for numbers on your house or mailbox. Not like all the others.
