The horologists at this top clock repair shop are masters of their trade, and before you panic over damage to an heirloom, there are some things that they want you to know about grandfather clock repair.

A grandfather clock works by using weights, and it will have either two or three depending on the style and age. For your clock to operate properly, the right weight will control the chimes and the left will control the hour strike and time. With a three weight clock, it's the center weight that controls time. Each time the pendulum swings, the weights drop. When the hour hits, clock movement parts go to work, chimes play, and the weights drop again.

This top grandfather clock repair shop knows that taking proper care of your clock will ensure it stays ticking for generations. Some things to consider include:

• Ensuring That Weights Are On Correctly & Pulled Up To The Proper Position.
• Ensuring That The Hands Aren't Touching.
• Winding Your Clock Weekly.
• Keeping The Clock On A Level Surface.
• Keeping The Door Locked To Protect Clock Movement Parts.
• Polishing Your Clock Regularly, Which Will Keep Even The Oldest Of Antique Pieces Looking Shiny & New.
• Keeping Your Clock In A Temperature-Controlled Environment & Avoiding Direct Sunlight Or Extreme Humidity, Which Causes Cracks & Fading.
