Digitus Numbering by Daniil Dadiomov -- $ 5.77 ea| Buy it here

From the geniuses at Art Lebedev, digitus self stick pixel door numbers. Judging by the finish, it’s probably not very weatherproof, so it should be used in interior spaces such as apartment, office or hotel room doors.

Secure Mailbox options for gates -- $ 55| Buy it here

If your mailbox is on the street away from your house and it’s either standalone or wall mounted, one sure fire way to prevent identity theft is to protect your mail. For homes with exterior fences, any of these wall mounted mailboxes would work, from the inexpensive vertical mailbox slot (bottom middle) all the way up to the $305 mail drop with optional receptacle (lower left).

Other options include the traditional and modern horizontal mail drops which are essentially just holes which fall to the open ground, so you’d need some sort of receptacle to catch and protect the mail. And, for the mother of all options, the $340 Dvault (right).

Weston House Numbers | View it here

If you’re working on the exterior of your home, a good Saturday afternoon project would be updating your house numbers. Weston has multiple type-faces and finishes available, and they send you everything you need to do it yourself. It costs a little more to add spacers (which mount the numbers slightly away from the house instead of flush against the wall) but I’d recommend that unless your particular house lends itself to having flush mount numbers, that the spacers are worth the extra expense.

Architectural Address Numbers/Letters -- $ 26.00| Buy it here | [via]

I rather like the Neutra Architectural Numbers available from DWR. But at $68.00 a pop, it could get pretty expensive. And they only do numbers. I found a company that does numbers and letters (that look remarkably like Neutra’s) for 60% less. The numbers can be installed flush or with spacers. They also do custom fonts. Lifetime warranty.
