patterns needed.

Flush Stud Mount
Stud Mounted With Spacers
6. The two methods are similar, with each using studs
inserted into drilled holes, but the second uses
spacers between the wall and the letter, whereas
flush mounted places the letters flush against the
wall.
Here’s a step-by-step outline of how to install a
metal sign.

7. Step One:
Clean the wall surface and place the
installation pattern on the wall where you
plan to install the sign. Use a level to ensure
the sign is installed at a straight level
height.

9. Step Four:
Place the adhesive that came with your sign
into the holes for one letter.
Step Five:
If using spacers, place the spacers on the
studs that protrude from the back of each
letter, so that the spacers sit between the
wall and the letters.

10. Step Six:
Holding the letter in line with the pre-
drilled holes, place the studs on the back of
the letter into the adhesive-filled holes in
the wall.

11. Some metal signs may require attaching
one or two rails to the wall using a similar
method as above, and then simply sliding
the metal letters into the rails. The key to
successful installation is to use and level a
pattern before drilling any holes.
