- Choose Location: Select a prominent location for your address plaque that is easily visible from the street and well-lit, if possible.
- Mark Drill Points: Hold the plaque against the desired mounting surface. Using a level, ensure the plaque is straight. Mark the locations for the mounting screws through the pre-drilled holes on the plaque with a pencil.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your surface, drill pilot holes at the marked locations. If mounting into masonry or stucco, insert wall anchors into the pilot holes.
- Mount Plaque: Align the plaque's holes with the pilot holes (or anchors). Insert the provided screws and tighten them securely with a screwdriver. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the plaque or the mounting surface.
- Verify Stability: Gently test the plaque to ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble.
Care and Maintenance
Your Whitehall address plaque is crafted from durable aluminum and designed for outdoor use with minimal maintenance. To keep it looking its best:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the plaque with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn grime, a mild soap solution can be used. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Inspection: Occasionally check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight, especially after severe weather conditions.
