Why Moving Your Grandfather Clock Is Risky

Grandfather clocks are delicate machines with many fragile parts. Moving them can cause several problems:

• Broken suspension springs: These springs are thin and sensitive. A sudden jolt during transport can snap them.

• Tangled cables: The cables that control the weights and chimes can get twisted or caught, affecting the clock’s function.

• Bent chime rods: These rods produce the clock’s signature sound. Damage to them can ruin the chime quality.

  
  

Each of these issues can be expensive to fix and may require specialized parts. Moving your clock increases the chance of these damages, which is why many experts recommend avoiding transport whenever possible.

What In-Home Repair Includes

DFW Clocks specializes in on-site restoration and maintenance. Their services include:

Ultrasonic Cleaning

Years of "grinding paste" and dust build-up can slow down your clock’s gears. Ultrasonic cleaning uses high-frequency sound waves to remove grime without disassembling the clock or moving it from your home. This method is gentle and effective, restoring smooth operation.

Precision Oiling

Proper lubrication is key to keeping your clock running smoothly. DFW Clocks uses specialized synthetic lubricants designed to resist Texas humidity. These oils prevent gumming and wear, extending the life of your clock’s moving parts.

Leveling Your Clock

A grandfather clock must be perfectly level to keep accurate time and maintain its "beat." This is especially true for brands like Howard Miller and Sligh. The technicians ensure your clock is set up correctly in your home, which can improve performance and reduce wear.

Real-Life Example

One Keller homeowner had a Howard Miller grandfather clock that stopped chiming correctly. Instead of risking damage by moving it, they called DFW Clocks. The technician arrived, cleaned the gears with ultrasonic technology, applied precision oil, and leveled the clock. The clock was fully restored in one visit, and the homeowner avoided costly repairs caused by moving.
