Customer satisfaction is very important to us at Brunel Engraving Co, to help our customers further we have written a guide to help to highlight the fixing methods we offer on all our nameplates, signs and labels.

Fitting Plaques, Nameplates and Labels:

Brunel Engraving Company offers different options for fitting your signs and nameplates, these include Screw fixing, Self-adhesive fixing and self-fix (no fixings supplied)

NB. The following instructions are for general guidance, types of wall/door vary considerably and we cannot provide detailed instructions for all situations. If further assistance is required please contact the sales team on 01275 871720

Screw fixing

When choosing this option we supply a standard length screw dependent on size of sign/nameplate. Wall plugs are also included with plaques 8” x 6” and above.

Plaque Fitting Place the sign in your chosen position and mark the fixing positions through the screw holes with a pencil. Drill each fixing position with a pilot hole, reposition the sign and screw fix to the door/wall.

When fitting plaques of 8” x 6” or above place the sign in your chosen position and mark the fixing positions through the screw holes with a pencil. Drill each fixing position with a suitably sized drill that will take the wall plugs, reposition the sign and screw fix to the door/wall.

Plaque & Wooden Base Fitting: - see video for detailed instructions.

Important – Uneven Wall Surfaces: Ensure that screw fixings of the wooden base is to the high spots on the wall or there is a danger that the base will split.

Self-adhesive fixing

With this option we supply a high grip exterior grade self-adhesive tape, this is suitable for fixing to most flat, smooth surfaces providing that they are properly cleaned and free from oil or dust. We do not recommend using this fixing method on uneven surfaces such as brick or stone, nor do we recommend using this method for fixing a wooden base.

Fitting: place the sign in your chosen position and mark that position with a post-it-note or similar, that will not mark the surface, as a positioning guide. Clean the surface thoroughly where the sign is to be positioned with a non-oil based substance such as methylated spirit. Allow this to dry fully, remove the adhesive covering paper, do not touch the adhesive and position the sign to the marked guides and push hard onto the accepting surface.
