Examine the weights: Most weights have symbols (such as “L,” “C,” or “R”) to guide you in hanging the appropriate weights in the correct locations.
Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or consult a professional for precise information on the weight functions and weight placement for your specific grandfather clock model.
Please call us at 707 262 2349 if you are unable to find the correct sequence or if the weights are not marked.
A: To ensure your grandfather clock displays the correct time, follow these steps:
Regulating the Clock (SPEED UP or SLOW DOWN):
If your clock runs too fast, you can adjust the pendulum to slow it down. If your clock runs slow, you can adjust the pendulum to speed it up. Typically, there’s a screw at the bottom of the pendulum that you can turn to make these adjustments.
Speeding Up: If your clock is running slow, move the pendulum disk (the weight at the bottom of the pendulum) up. This will make the pendulum shorter, causing the clock to run faster.
Slowing Down: If your clock is running fast, move the pendulum disk down. This makes the pendulum longer, slowing down the clock.
Fine Adjustment: For finer adjustment, consider using the small nut at the bottom of the pendulum. One complete turn usually changes the timekeeping by 2 minutes per day.
Adjusting the Minute Hand:
Always move the minute hand clockwise. If you pass a quarter hour (3, 6, 9, or 12), pause and let the clock chime before moving on. After the clock chimes, you can continue moving the minute hand to the desired time.
Adjusting the Hour Hand:
It is safe to move the hour hand either direction. Simply move it to the hour that the clock just struck.
If you need to adjust the location by a few inches, move it very carefully, little by little.
If you need to relocate your grandfather clock, follow these guidelines:
Get Help:
Grandfather clocks are heavy and delicate. It’s best to get help when moving one to avoid causing any damage.
Secure the Pendulum:
Before moving your grandfather clock, remove the pendulum to prevent it from swinging and causing damage.
Pack the Weights and Chimes:
Remove the weights and chimes carefully and pack them separately in soft material to protect them from scratches or damage.
Handle with Care:
Use a dolly to move the clock and ensure it stays in an upright position.
Here are some basic tips to ensure your grandfather clock remains in optimal condition:
Remember, these are general tips. Depending on the make and model of your clock, there might be specific instructions for maintenance, adjustment, and moving. Always refer to the manufacturer’s manual or consult with a professional if you’re unsure.

“We asked Prem to look at and repair our mantel clock and small antique brass clock. He repaired both within a week’s time. He was patient with us as he had to teach us how to operate our clocks in addition to repairing them!
We, without hesitation, can recommend this man’s work!
