Wall clock hung level and secure. Whether it's a small kitchen clock or large hallway piece, it'll hang straight and stay put.
### The Finishing Touch
A good wall clock is **both practical and decorative** - tells the time and adds character to your room. But only if it's actually level and not worried about falling off.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Heavy clocks (especially wooden or metal ones) need proper fixings, not just a picture hook. If you're winding it regularly, those vibrations can work basic hooks loose over time.

### Why Proper Mounting Matters
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Hung genuinely level | Wonky, drives you mad | | Appropriate fixings for weight | Falls off the wall | | Positioned at readable height | Too high/low to see easily | | Secure enough for regular use | Wobbles when winding |
**Clock types and weights:** - Small kitchen clocks: 0.5-1kg, basic fixings fine - Medium wall clocks: 1-3kg, proper wall plugs needed - Large pendulum clocks: 3-8kg, heavy-duty fixings essential - Antique/wooden clocks: 5-15kg, serious mounting required

What to Expect

Heavy clocks get serious fixings, light ones get standard mounting. ### Step 3: Hang & Level Clock goes up, I check it's genuinely level (not "looks about right"), test it's secure. Done.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Multiple rooms?** Kitchen, hallway, office all need clocks? Do them together - I'm already there with the tools and fixings. **Pendulum clocks:** These vibrate when running, which can work poor fixings loose over time. Heavy-duty mounting is essential for pendulum clocks, and they must be dead level to tick properly. **Battery access:** Think about battery changes when choosing position - you don't want to be climbing on furniture every 12 months to change batteries. **Old Exeter houses:** Those thick walls are brilliant for heavy clocks - rock solid fixings once you're through the plaster. Much better than modern thin plasterboard walls.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wall clock hanging in Dawlish
Can you hang heavy clocks?
Yes - large wooden or metal clocks can be surprisingly heavy. I use proper fixings rated for the weight, not just a basic picture hook. Heavy clocks need solid mounting, especially if you're winding them regularly.
What about clocks on plasterboard walls?
That's fine - I use proper cavity fixings that spread the load. Regular picture hooks just pull straight out of plasterboard when there's any weight involved. Proper fixings and they're rock solid.
Do I need to buy special fixings?
No - I carry appropriate fixings for different wall types and weights. Once I see your clock and wall, I'll use whatever's needed.
Can you hang multiple clocks in a row?
Yes - common for offices or kitchens with world time zones. I'll mount them all at the same height and evenly spaced so they look intentional, not random.
How long does hanging one clock take?
Usually 10-15 minutes. If you've got multiple clocks to hang, we can do them all in one visit - much more economical.
