Installing Door or Wall Mounted Signs
Double Sided Foam Tape
Our industrial-strength, double-sided foam tape creates a very secure bond between your sign and mounting surface. We offer both a thinner white foam tape and a wider black foam tape; unless specifically requested otherwise, we will include whichever type we deem most appropriate for each sign type. The foam tape is suitable for most hard surfaces, including walls and doors. Please note that if your surface is porous or coarse, a secure bond may not be obtained using our foam tape, in which case other mounting options should be explored. A clean surface is also advised for the best bond. We do not guarantee foam tape on dirty or porous surfaces. Adding a silicone adhesive to the back of a sign on a bumpy or porous surface is recommended to aid adhesion.
If you determine that the double-sided foam tape will best suit your needs, we will attach enough strips of tape on the back of your sign to accommodate both its size and weight. To adhere your signs to your mounting surface, simply remove the protective paper from the adhesive strips and affix the sign accordingly. Start with a clean mounting surface to ensure optimal adhesion and be sure to measure and mark the exact location of your sign prior to adhering; the tape will instantly bond with your surface and is difficult to relocate once bonded.
If removal of your sign is necessary, the foam tape may damage the mounting surface if not removed with care. Do not pull on your sign to remove it from the wall; this may cause damage to your sign, as well as the mounting surface. It is best to determine where the tape is located on the back of the sign and then insert an object such as a putty knife between the tape and the mounting surface. Gently but firmly separate the tape from the surface, working with the direction of the tape strips (i.e., if your tape runs in vertical strips, start at the top of the sign and work your way down).
A chemical adhesive remover, such as Goo-Gone, can be used to remove any residue left behind after the tape has been removed from the mounting surface.
Screw Mounting
Plasterboard
Wooden Doors
Hold your sign flush against the door. Hold a level atop the sign to ensure it’s straight.
Set down the level and draw a light outline of the sign. This helps you remember where the sign should sit and what angle you need to hang it at to keep it level.
Ask a friend or family member to hold the sign for you. Show them the lines so they know where the sign should settle.
Drill a hole into the upper right hand corner of the sign and straight into the door. Do the same with the upper left hand corner of the sign.
Wipe away the metal and wood shavings left by your drilling
