Realtor Signs - Grommet Placement

[AlishaP]

Typically we outsource realtor signs so I have never really had to think about placement for the grommets/drilled areas. However this one we had to do in house due to timing. Is anyone able to share with me a placement guide for the 5 grommet holes?

Thanks a bunch!

Perhaps you need to look at whatever it is that requires 5 grommet holes to see where you need to put them. I've never sold a realtor a sign that required grommets.

Guessing for a cross arm post? For an 18x24 we do (4/20)16" on center and up 3"

We do them 16" on center (4" in from each side & 3/4" down) for 24 wide signs and 15-16" down on 1 side depending on the post they use.
We haven't been putting grommets in the bottom for most people.

Just did one the other day, 16” center, 3/4 down on a 24” wide sign.

Most of our realtor signs 30"x24" hang from a "Yard Arm". Polymetal/ACM/Max Medal

It varies by company and manufacturer. There is no real wrong answer ( within reason ) as long as there is enough meat on the top and bottom so the grommet doesn't pull out and you can still get your S-Hook in .
Most real estate companies already have signs, so you can match the spacing.
If not, use the most common hole spacing for your panel size in your area.
For wider panels like a 36" wide panel, the bottom hole spacing for the riders may be a little closer than you would think it would be,
so the customer can fit a more common 24" rider on the bottom.

In dealing with RE signs daily, we ALWAYS grommet the holes and recommend our customers do if they have the signs made elsewhere.
Even the steel panels will tear out the mounting holes if they are not grommetted.

As for the 5th hole for a wind chain to the post, the only signs I have seen with these are the very tall ones like an 18x30 or 36 sign.
They do help on the taller panels but don't do much for an 18x24 or 24x24 panel.

5 grommets? How heavy is this sign?
