Blind Mounting of Address Plaques
Here are a tips about “Blind Mounting of Address Plaques“. A brown paper template is included with this plaque for determining the location of the mounting holes. Tape this template in the desired location on the back of the address plaque. Using a drill bit of the same diameter as the four mounting studs (usually 3/16”), drill through the marked holes.
Screw the mounting studs into the four tapped holes and snug up with a pair of pliers. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN, as this may create a bump on the face of the plaque.
Align the studs with the drilled holes and push the plaque into place. Use a rubber mallet and a wad of cloth to protect the face of the plaque, if extra force is required. For extra security, apply a mastic-type glue on the studs, such as PL200.
Wipe clean with a soft dry cloth.
Next is screws Through Face With-or Without-Rosettes.Hold the plaque up to the wall in the appropriate place and mark the wall through the four drilled holes. Drill holes with appropriate size drill for the screws, or for the plastic wall plugs if mounting on drywall. Screw plaque onto surface with supplied screws. If decorative rosettes have been supplied with this plaque, glue these over top of the screws.
