Steel Standoff Installation Guide

Our quick and handy visual guide to help you install your new sign.

What You'll Need

• Standoffs, Wall Plugs and Screws these can be found in your package in a brown paper envelope.

• A Pen: or anything that'll help you dot the marks where you'll want to drill the holes.

• An Electric Drill: we recommend using a 5mm masonry drill bit if attaching to a brick wall.

• A Screwdriver: make sure it's a Phillips PZ2 one.

Simple step-by-step instructions for installing a standoff fixing, showing a hand placing a screw into the standoff base attached to the wall, followed by securing the cap to hold the panel in place.

Choose Where You Want the Sign to Go

Your sign can go pretty much anywhere. If you've chosen screws and wall plugs for your sign, you can install your sign into a brick/stone wall, a wooden gate or fence or even onto a door (we recommend not doing this unless your door is old).

Step 1/5

Step-by-step instructions showing a hand inserting a screw into the standoff base attached to a wall, followed by securing a panel in place with a standoff cap.

Drill Out the Holes in the Wall

Drill into the wall/surface where the dots are using an 5mm masonry drill bit. Drill nice and deep so the wall plugs sit flush in each hole.

Step 2/5

Step-by-step illustration for mounting a standoff fixing: showing a screw being inserted into the standoff base, then attaching the panel to the base, and finally securing it with a standoff cap.

Insert the Wall Plugs in the Wall Holes

Push the wall plugs included in your signs package into the newly-drilled wall holes, until the entire wall plug sits flush against the wall.

Step 3/5

Illustration showing the steps to install a standoff fixing: first, a hand places a screw through a hole in the panel into the standoff base, then the standoff cap is tightened to secure the panel in place.

Install the Standoff Bases

Thread the screws in each stand off base (you may need to unscrew the standoff cap first) and tighten the screws into the wall holes until the standoff bases are securely in place.

Step 4/5

Step-by-step guide for mounting a standoff fixing: attaching a standoff base to the wall, securing it with a screw, placing a panel onto the base, and fastening it with a cap.

Mount the Sign and Screw in Place

Align your sign over the standoff bases and securely attach the sign in place using the standoff caps. Tighten the caps by turning them clockwise. Once all the caps are in place, you're done!
