How To Install Your New House Numbers

How To Install Your New House Numbers

Clean. Clear. Confident. That’s the Adoorn way — and installing your new 6" Modern House Numbers should feel just as effortless. Whether you choose a floating look for bold, dimensional style or a flush look for a clean, minimalist finish, the right install makes all the difference for your curb appeal.

This guide breaks down exactly how to install Adoorn house numbers the right way — with simple steps, smart spacing tips, and clear instructions pulled directly from the back of the box. No guesswork. No confusion. Just a beautiful, modern finish you’ll admire every time you pull into the driveway.

 


🧰 Before You Begin: Tools You’ll Need

  • Drill with ¼" bit

  • Hammer or rubber mallet

  • Level

  • Painter’s tape

  • Tape measure

(Pro tip: Lay everything out before you start — it makes the whole process smoother.)

 


🌟 Step 1: Choose Your Mount — Floating or Flush?

Floating Mount (Dimensional + Modern)

If you love depth, shadow, and that architectural “pop” from the street, floating is your go-to.
Floating uses the long screws + spacers included with your Adoorn numbers.

Why choose floating?

  • Creates a shadow effect

  • Looks bold and modern

  • Adds dimension to flat surfaces

  • Great for siding, brick, or stucco

 

Flush Mount (Minimal + Clean)

Flush mounting uses the short screws and creates a smooth, sleek finish directly against the wall.

Why choose flush?

  • Perfect for a simple, streamlined look

  • Ideal for mid-century and minimalist homes

  • Great option if you want the numbers to blend seamlessly

 

No matter which style you choose, Adoorn’s concealed hardware keeps your finish clean and professional.

 


✏️ Step 2: Plan Your Placement + Alignment

This is where your numbers get their personality.

Horizontal Layout

  • Clean, classic, easy to read from a distance.


Vertical Layout

  • Modern, striking, and perfect for narrow wall spaces.

Diagonal Layout

  • For homes with more space to show some extra stylish flair.

 

How to Place the Templates

Each Adoorn number comes with a template. Tape your templates to the wall using a level to keep everything perfect.

Spacing Tip:

  • Maintain 1.5"–2.5" between each number.
    (Important: Measure from the edge of each number, not the paper template boundary.)

Take a few steps back. Make sure it looks centered and balanced from the street.

     

 


🛠️ Step 3: Drill the Holes

Once your templates look right, it’s time to drill.

  • Use your ¼" drill bit

  • Drill pilot holes 1.25" deep

  • Remove templates

  • Insert wall anchors into each hole

Anchors ensure your numbers stay secure on siding, brick, stucco, or wood.



🔩 Step 4: Attach Screws to the Numbers

Hold your number face-down and twist the screws into the back.

  • Floating install? Add the included spacer onto the screw.

  • Flush install? Skip the spacer — just use the short screws.

Each screw should sit straight and snug.

 


🔨 Step 5: Install the Numbers

Now the fun part.

  • Line up each screw with its matching wall anchor

  • Gently tap into place using a rubber mallet or a hammer with a towel over the number

(This protects the finish — don’t skip this part!)

Repeat for each number until everything is level, secure, and stunning.

 


🎉 You’re Done — Step Back and Enjoy

Whether you installed your Adoorn numbers floating or flush, you just gave your home a polished, modern upgrade that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

Your curb appeal just leveled up.

Your address is now easier to find, easier to read, and unmistakably yours — with that clean Adoorn look.
