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.

Would RecommendI almost let the bad reviews scare me and I’m so glad I didn’t. I followed some of the helpful tips others shared and screwed the number side in by hand. I also used a 3/16 drill bit instead of the recommended 1/4 because I didn’t want to use caulk or leave a big hole. Practiced on a spare board to make sure the template lined up, didn’t have any problems. Gently guided each screw into place and was finished in 5 minutes tops.
Do NOT trust the template
Would Not RecommendThe drill bit sizes are extremely oversized for the holes you need. This is most likely because there is such a large margin of error in their cast. As you can see, the template was extremely off.
Studs break
Would Not RecommendGreat concept - horrible quality. If you’re lucky enough to screw the stud in without twisting off, just wait until you’ve slid it into the wall before a sigh of relief. The studs should be stainless steel rather than aluminum. Once they are broken off into the wall, it is impossible to remove the broken stud without damaging the wall further. Now, I have to reposition. I’m so disappointed.

Replacement numbers
Would RecommendGot the house painted and decided to upgrade house numbers and outdoor wall lanterns. These numbers are high quality and very easy to install!
Absolute garbage
The screws are plastic so they break easily. Waste of our time and money.

Beautiful but extraordinarily poor quality
Would Not RecommendThe studs that come with these numbers are incredibly brittle. I recently repainted my house, and needed to remove the numbers to do so. Even with extremely careful attention to twist and gently pull the studs out of the wall, 2/3 of them broke off in the wall of my home. They are going to be annoyingly time consuming to extract, and now I will need to buy new numbers. If you value your time, look for numbers from a legit brand instead!

Beautiful and Modern Looking
I appeared to have great luck with these numbers! Was wary at first based on other reviews, but we were careful with each step. The mounting hardware that came with it was all metal (not plastic like others have noted). We did need pliers in order to *carefully* screw some of the hardware into the back of the numbers, but some screwed in just fine by hand. We did leave them as floating numbers, using one drill bit size down from what was suggested in the instructions (as others said the suggeste...
House numbers
Would RecommendThe product looks great and the color is good. However, the spacer screws that are provided are very cheap and flimsy. The threads on the screw were not very consistent and would bind. One of the screws broke so I had to exchange it for another.

Would RecommendThese are the numbers that I was looking for my house. I am very satisfied.
Hello Alinda,
We are so pleased that these house numbers worked well for your home. Thank you for your comment.Was this Review Helpful ?
Screws aside, overall a good product
Would RecommendWe did not read the reviews before buying in store. But one of the screws did break off as I was attaching to the number by hand. We exchanged it easily and the replacement and other 5 numbers did great. Installed flush mount with silicone caulk and hand screwed the mounting hardware on the letters. They look great, they're secure and it took less than 15 minutes.
Poor Quality Templates
For the number "2" in my house number the template does not match how the studs are laid out in the number itself - they are off by about 2mm which makes it difficult to drill a hole so close to the edge of the first set of holes I drilled. I was able to make it work but it's a totally avoidable, wonky problem for a product to have. The construction overall is okay but I'm pretty disappointed in this basic, easy-to-get-right thing that Hillman completely blew. Hillman: please check your quality ...

Do NOT buy these
Would Not RecommendThe mounting screws that are included with these numbers are some kind of weak pot metal that breaks given any sideways force at all. Out of 11 screws, 6 of them broken in mounting. Also, terrible instructions.

Do not buy
The instructions tell you to drill a 1/4” hole and secure the anchors with silicon which is absolutely hilarious. It’s nearly impossible to make these look neat and clean. The anchors are very easily broken no pressure can be applied to them whatsoever. At $6 per number it’s amazing how cheap the hardware is.
