Fitting Instructions

A GUIDE TO FITTING A SIGN WITH TRADITIONAL FRONT FIXINGS

You will need:

  • DRILL – with a 6mm diameter masonry bit
  • SCREWDRIVER – if you are using an electric screwdriver set it at its slowest speed
  • SPIRIT LEVEL – to ensure your sign is level
  • MALLET/HAMMER & PUNCH – to mark the wall for screw holes
  • SAFETY EQUIPMENT – such as goggles to be worn when drilling into masonry

How to fit your sign:

  • Place your sign on the wall in your preferred position and use a spirit level to ensure it is horizontal
  • Mark the position of the fixing holes by inserting a punch or long masonry nail through each hole and gently tapping with a mallet or hammer to leave a mark on the wall
  • Drill holes at each marked position ensuring the holes are deep enough to accommodate the screw and wall plug
  • Insert the wall plugs by gently tapping with a hammer or mallet
  • Position the sign back over the fixing holes and carefully screw into place being careful not to slip and damage the face of the sign
  • Do not over tighten the screws as this can cause damage to the sign
