Inside information on longcase hinges
* Longcase clocks work fine only if they are set up on a flat surface. This is elementary but it is essential.
When adjusting its position against the wall you might find that the carpet or other covering thickness is not the same everywhere. Or it is possible that the the floor is not uniform at the wall junction.
If the clock tilts to one side you must first set it right.
* The Pendulums On Clocks have front and back sides that are distinguishable. The front is in most cases the the flat side.
The longcase clock pendulum remain without touching any side of the case. If it makes contact with the case walls it may mean that the surface on which it rests is not level.
* The block of weights that supply the clock with power should be free of obstructions. They should not touch the pendulum or the sides of the clock casing during their descent.
* When you initiate the pendulums motion listen for a constant ticking sound. The sound should be unvarying.
If the sound is not even it is perhaps because the clock is not placed on a level surface. Try out different positions and make changes as needed.
* When you set the time avoid moving your clocks hands back more than a few minutes. And under no circumstances move them backwards past the twelve mark.
It is alright to run the hands forward. When running them across the mid night mark pause till the clock has finished striking the hour before you proceed.
* If the clock runs slow or fast change the length of the pendulum.
Step up the length to slow down the clock. Shorten it to have the clock pick up pace.
