Sign Installation Resources

How you install a sign depends on its design and mounting type. Review the mounting options below to find installation resources and learn more.

Mounting Types

Mounting Types Matrix
  • Solid brass division 10 architectural sign letter with back stud mounting and spacers

    Back Stud Mount

    1/4" thick or thicker sign elements are drilled and tapped on the back to receive threaded studs. 1/8" thick sign elements are too thin to be drilled so studs are either welded to the back of the letter, or stud bosses are attached to the letter to receive the threaded studs.

  • Solid brass division 10 architectural sign letter with double-sided tape mounting.

    Double-Sided Tape Mount

    Strips of VHB tape are applied to the back of the product. This option is warrantied for interior installation on walls that are smooth, clean, and dry.

  • A brushed brass letter 'M' with a brushed gold finish viewed from the back to show a bottom stud mounting option.

    Bottom Stud Mount

    3/8" thick or thicker sign elements are drilled and tapped on the bottom to receive threaded studs. This allows letters to be installed standing upright on a horizontal surface.

  • A brushed brass letter 'M' with a brushed gold finish viewed from the back to show a top stud mounting option.

    Top Stud Mount

    3/8" thick or thicker sign elements are drilled and tapped on the top to receive threaded studs. This allows letters to be installed so they hang vertically from their top.

  • A brushed brass letter 'M' with a brushed gold finish viewed from the back to show a top and bottom stud mounting option.

    Top & Bottom Stud Mount

    3/8" thick or thicker sign elements are drilled and tapped on the top & bottom to receive threaded studs.

  • A brushed brass letter 'M' with a brushed gold finish viewed from the back to show a back rail mounting option.

    Bottom Rail Mount

    Holes are threaded into the bottom of the letters so they can be screwed to an aluminum rail or c-channel. The rail is attached to the mounting surface so that the letters stand upright. The rail can be painted or anodized.

  • A brushed brass letter 'M' with a brushed gold finish viewed from the back to show a top rail mounting option.

    Top Rail Mount

    A flat aluminum rail attached to the back of the letters. This option minimizes the amount of holes drilled into the mounting surface. The rail can be painted or anodized.

  • A brushed brass letter 'M' with a brushed gold finish viewed from the back to show a double back rail mounting option.

    Double Back Rail Mount

    Two flat aluminum rails are attached to the back of the letters. This option minimizes the amount of holes drilled into the mounting surface. The rails can be painted or anodized.

  • A brushed brass letter 'M' with a brushed gold finish viewed from the back to show a back angle bracket mounting option.

    Bottom Angle Bracket Mount

Mounting Guides

    Drill Pattern

    Our drill patterns are computer-generated tracings of your sign design with mounting hole locations. They are printed on durable, tear-resistant paper that is up to 54 inches tall and as wide as needed for your design.

  • A rigid stencil sign mounting guide with a hand lifting one letter out of the guide.

    Rigid Stencil Guide

    A rigid stencil guide is made by cutting out your sign's design from a piece of cardboard. This guide is then taped to the wall and each piece of your sign is set inside its corresponding cutout location to stick it to the wall.

  • A worker creating a spacing guide to assist with the installation of sign letters.

    Spacing Guide

    Our spacing guide is a 2 inch roll of paper with marks indicating the bottom portion of each sign element.
