How do I wind a strike wall clock?

Most mechanical wall clocks require a winding key inserted into holes on the dial to tension the springs or lift the weights. Care should be taken not to over-wind the movement, stopping as soon as resistance is felt.

Where should I hang a wall clock?

Choose a sturdy interior wall away from direct sunlight, dampness, and heavy vibrations from doors. The wall must be strong enough to support the weight of dense hardwood and brass movements.

Why does the clock stop striking?

The strike train may simply have run out of power and require winding via its specific arbor on the dial. If the weights or springs are fully wound, the synchronisation between the hands and the rack mechanism might need adjustment.
