  1. Measure the sign and determine how far apart the screws need to be to adhere the sign to the wall. Mark pencil points on the wall at the desired distance apart as determined by the sign's measurement. Hold a level at the points to ensure the sign will hang straight.

  2. Pre-drill holes according to where you want your sign fastened to the wall.
  3. Insert a masonry bit in the drill. Drill a hole on the pencil marks on the brick wall. Insert a lead masonry anchor into each drilled hole.

  4. Pre-drill holes in the metal sign to line up with the holes drilled in the wall if they don't already exist. Line up the holes in the sign with the holes in the wall. Fasten the sign to the wall using screws.

Tips

It may help to have another person on hand to hold the sign in place while fastening the screws.

Warnings

Use safety goggles when operating power tools.
