(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 05, 2013 ) Dallas TX According to the local expert grandfather clock repair is a skill for professionals and not a hobby. There are so many things the technician needs to know to avoid permanent damage to this gorgeous and often irreplaceable antique. Each moving part has its own function and just one very small missing piece will upset the time keeping process.
When one of his customers inherited a Westminster chime clock from her grandfather, she was awed by its beauty, but disappointed because it didnt keep good time. The weights wouldnt descend and the chimes didnt function properly. When she asked a friend, who fixes clocks as a hobby, he talked about weights, hour strike, hammers, strike train and trip levers. Of course she had no idea what he was talking about.
According to the local expert specializing in grandfather clock repair, this is no job for the DIY enthusiast. Fred knew exactly what her friend was talking about as he explained that the Westminster chime clock has many intricate moving parts that require proper installation, balancing and maintenance.
When she called Fred for clock repair service he explained that the process can be complicated and delicate, so he would prefer to work on the clock where it stands. If necessary, he would transport it to his shop, but it is always better to minimize the moving and keep it secure and level.
When the grandfather clock repair expert arrived he was happy to discover that only a minor adjustment was needed to get it ticking and chiming perfectly! All grandfather clocks require periodic maintenance, so he carefully cleaned and lubricated the parts and the customer was thrilled. Fred receives a Christmas card from her every year with a note saying the Westminster chime clock is still keeping perfect time.
Promenade Clocks stands out from the competition by providing free pick-up and delivery for grandfather clocks. Fred would rather fix the clock in the customers home when possible to provide peace of mind that their treasured antiques and precious family heirlooms will not be damaged during transportation.
