All Peninsula House Numbers letterbox numbers come with a print out of installation instructions, and your installation template. We've also detailed them below if you're wanting to get prepared - or if your instructions have gone missing.
Gather letterbox numbers, the shaped double-sided foam tape and the alcohol wipe. Not included: pencil and spirit level.
Clean the mounting surface thoroughly with the alcohol wipe and a clean cloth to remove any dirt, dust, or grease. Allow the surface to dry completely.
Position numbers/letters on the letterbox to determine ideal placement. Use a pencil to make light reference marks for alignment and spacing. A spirit level is recommended to ensure straight positioning, particularly important if there are multiple numbers.
Carefully peel the backing from one side of the foam tape and apply it to the back of the matching number or letter. Press firmly to create a strong bond. Avoid touching the adhesive with your fingers. Repeat for all numbers and letters.
Peel the backing from the other side of the foam tape on all numbers and letters. Again, avoid touching the adhesive with your fingers.
Align the number/letter carefully with your reference marks and press firmly against the surface. Apply strong pressure across the entire surface of each number for at least 30 seconds to activate the adhesive bond.
The foam tape bonds well to metal and Colorbond letterboxes, and to smooth rendered, painted or sealed surfaces, including sealed or painted timber.
To extend the life of your numbers, clean them every six months or every three months in coastal areas. Use a soft cloth and a mild household detergent solution to remove dust, salt and other deposits. Rinse gently with clean, fresh water and dry with a non-abrasive towel. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh or solvent-based cleaners.
