Hy-Ko 4 In. Black Floating Mount Number 2

The Hy-Ko 4-inch Black Floating Mount Number 2 delivers what contractors need most — dual mounting versatility that works whether they’re mounting to wood siding or stucco. The metal construction with weather-resistant finish stands up to Montana’s freeze-thaw cycles, while the floating mount option creates that modern 3D effect clients want.

Installation That Actually Works

The included mounting template changes everything. Mark the drill points through the template holes — no measuring, no guesswork, no callbacks because the numbers aren’t level. Drill pilot holes at 3/16 inch for masonry or stucco. Insert wall anchors for masonry surfaces, then secure the mounting posts.

The hardware works on wood, stucco, masonry with anchors, and even interior drywall. That covers 95% of Montana residential applications. The dual mounting design means contractors can install it floating for that architectural look or flush against the surface for traditional appearance.

Built for Montana Weather

Metal construction with weather-resistant coating handles temperature swings better than plastic alternatives. The satin black finish resists fading — critical when UV exposure at elevation accelerates deterioration.

Compared to generic plastic numbers, Hy-Ko’s floating mount offers significantly higher durability due to metal construction. The Architectural Series specifically features a modern font style compared to standard block fonts — details that matter when upgrading curb appeal.

Customers rate it 4.9 stars across 20 reviews, appreciating that it matches existing sets and stands out well against house surfaces. No surprise there. Good visibility matters when emergency services need to find an address.

What’s in the Box

The kit includes the 4-inch black metal number, mounting posts, screws and wall anchors, plus that critical mounting template. Tools needed: drill, 3/16 inch drill bit, screwdriver, level, and hammer for anchors.

Standard retailer return policies apply — typically 30 days at Walmart or Do It Best. Note the California Prop 65 warning about arsenic content — standard for metal hardware products.

FAQ

Can these numbers handle Montana winters? Yes. The metal construction with weather-resistant coating is designed to withstand outdoor elements and maintain appearance. Metal outperforms plastic in freeze-thaw cycling.

What’s the actual mounting process? Position the template, mark drill points, drill 3/16 inch pilot holes, insert anchors for masonry, secure mounting posts to the number, then align and attach. Verify level before final tightening.

Do they work on stucco? Yes, stucco is specifically listed as compatible. Use the 3/16 inch pilot holes and provided wall anchors for secure mounting.

What makes the floating mount different? The dual mounting design allows installation as either floating (for 3D effect) or flush mount. The floating mount creates a premium aesthetic that flat numbers can’t match.

Are these suitable for commercial buildings? Yes, they’re used for office doors, storefront address marking, and unit identification in apartment complexes. The professional appearance works for both residential and commercial applications.
