What you must find out about longcase clocks kits uk
* A longcase clock must be set up on a horizontal surface. This is a very basic point but it is essential.
When placing the grandfather clock in front of the wall you might perhaps find out that the floor carpeting thickness is not uniform. Or it is possible that the floor itself is at a different height at the wall.
If the case tends to lean in one direction you need to even it out.
* Grandfather Clock Pendulums have distinguishable front and reverse sides. The face of the pendulum is in most cases the the side that is polished and more or less flat.
The pendulum of the clock should hang free from all sides of the case. If it makes contact with the case walls it may mean that the clock lists towards one side.
* The set of weights that actuate the clock should stand clear of the pendulum and walls. They should not touch the pendulum or the sides of the clock casing as they come down.
* When you set off the pendulum swinging listen for a steady ticking sound. The ticks should be regularly spaced.
If it is not steady it is probably because the case stands on an uneven surface. Try straightening out the case and readjust as needed.
* When modifying the time avoid turning your clocks hands back further than just a few minutes. And under no circumstances move the hands rearwards beyond the twelve mark.
It is fine to turn the hands of the clock forward. When shifting over the twelve mark wait till the clock is done with sounding the hour before you proceed.
* If the clock runs slow or fast increase or decrease the length of the pendulum.
Increment the length to cut back on the speed. Shorten the length to to quicken the pace.
If you are unsure you can set up the longcase clock request the dealer to set it up. Savor the air of style your clock contributes to your house!
