If you want to move your Grandfather Clock to another room. This is what you must do- First if its an antique Grandfather Clock plan a week ahead and have all the weights go to the bottom of the clock. Therefore letting the clock stop. Remove the pendulum first for the 19th Century English clocks you nee to remove the hood/bonnet of the clock. This is done very easily by sliding the top foreword. If the case of the clock is attached to the wall on the bonnet you need to release the tie before you start preparing the Grandfather Clock to move. For more modern clocks, remove the weights at any time. Pay attention how the weights are hanging. Mark the weights left, center, right with a sticker. You need to remove the pendulum and then can be unhooked from the front. Do the reverse of what you did to reinstate the clock. If you have any questions, please let us know.
