Frequently asked questions

Yes. Moving a clock requires "prepping" it: removing the weights, securing the pendulum guide, and locking the cables. Never move a clock with the weights attached, as this can destroy the movement.

A: Moving a grandfather clock requires careful preparation to prevent damage to its delicate components. At DFWclocks, we recommend first stopping the pendulum and securing it to avoid swinging during transport. Next, remove and safely pack the weights and pendulum separately. The clock’s face and case should be checked for any loose parts and padded adequately. It’s important to transport the clock upright to maintain its structural integrity.
