Installing Your Sign

correct installation of your sign is perhaps the most important step, and it’s one we make sure is done perfectly!

The install location of your finished sign is part of the design process from the beginning. The location of your sign impacts the installation hardware to be used and even scale and material finishes.

Every sign we ship includes a custom set of directions based on your unique style of sign and how it should best be mounted upon installation.

If a sign is to be displayed indoors it will need either a:

French Cleat — for easy mounting and multi-point strength

Drywall Anchors and Stems — for individual pieces and lettering

for French Cleats

  • One half of French Cleat pair is attached to the back of the sign

  • Second half of French Cleat pair is attached to the wall where the sign will be hung

  • Pilot holes are leveled and drilled for the cleat

  • French Cleat is then fastened to the wall with provided screws and anchors

  • Wall Cleat and Sign Cleat will interlock when slid together on the wall by lowering them together as seen in the photo below.

For Individual Pieces or Lettering Signs

  • Sign components will be mounted directly into the wall using a paper template

  • Template is hung on the wall and leveled

  • Pilot holes are drilled according to template locations

  • Screw all thread stems into the back of individual pieces

  • Press all thread stems into wall

For Exterior Signage

  • Framework is typically part of the fabrication process of larger scale signs to give strength to stand up against the elements.

  • Exact installation hardware will be determined based on the unique design and location of your sign as well as the surface material to be mounted to.
