Distinctionsby Hillman 843262 4-Inch Die Cast Self-Adhesive House Address Plaque, Aged Bronze, Number 8

These have a pretty nice finish and match the stained bronze look that matches the same finish of most door handles and locks. They look good but the adhesive is not nearly strong enough to hold. After I pulled them out I used a strong adhesive glue around the edges but some of it got pressed out as there aren’t a lot of holding points on the back (it’s hollowed out). I don’t really mind as my door is in rough shape as you can see, but I would be careful with the adhesive if you are looking for a cleaner look. Maybe fill in the back with some kind of filler or foam, then apply the adhesive.

Ordered 5 numbers - 19788. One of the 8s says made in China and is a different finish than the other numbers, including the other 8. The rest say made in India, and have blue writing on the package instead of white.Returned for replacement and same problem. All the other numbers say made in India. How do I get another 8 to match the others now?!

I actually used this to make a sign rather than using it as an actual house number, but it is very sturdy and heavyweight.

The adhesive for these left something to be desired. Numbers kept falling off (followed the directions to the T) & even kept it indoors laying flat for a couple weeks to ensure that the heat of the summer had no ill effects on the adhesive curing. Had to use epoxy to finally get the numbers to stay put. It IS classier looking than what we previously had, looks sharp on the house. Wish the adhesive that came with the product was more useful and I didn't have to purchase something else to "make it work".

Very sturdy and great looking. N

I used the letters on the Hillmann Die Cast Address sign. I made sure to apply them to a clean and dry surface per instructions. They just do not stay on. I purchased replacement letters still no luck. Maybe they do not stick if the temperatures exceed 80 degrees.I will not buy them again twice is enough.

I ended up buying these because I didn't want to go through the hassle of drilling through my steel siding and then have holes there if I ever wanted to move/remove the numbers. They were ridiculously easy to apply and they've stayed up for months through high heat, rain, and high winds/tornadoes. I put them up in the spring so I'm not sure how the adhesive will do in the winter, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. The have a nice look to them and are easily visible from the street. Even though they are light-weight, they look very high quality. I would absolutely buy these again or recommend them to a friend.

The adhesive on these letters is not useful in my opinion. Two of three letters fell off in a day. However, under the sticky patches I found pre-drilled sockets for screws. Unfortunately, I have (so far) NOT found a match to the sockets. Metric screws do not work, and none of the SAE screws I tried worked either. I'd appreciate anyone who knows the correct screw size to post a review!
