Feed the screw through the hole in the back of the case and also the piece of wood you are using and then line up the screw with the hole you have prepared in the wall. Now move the clock case back into position. This hole can be slightly bigger than the screw you will use. Drill a hole in the piece of wood that is to go between the clock case. Move away the clock case and drill and rawlplug the hole ready to accept a screw. Now, with the clock in the correct position against the wall, put a pencil through this hole and make a mark on the wall. Feel free to drill one if there isn’t already. The majority of longcase clocks already have one or more holes in the back of the case.

In order to get full enjoyment and reliable running from your clock it is well worth paying close attention to this step right at the outset. There is nothing more annoying than a clock which appears to lean to the right or left when you look at it. Check also that the visual uprightness of the clock is correct from all parts of the room.

Do check that the case is standing completely upright and not leaning backwards before doing this, as this could cause the pendulum to rub on the back of the case, subsequently stopping the clock. If you wish to screw the case to the wall (highly recommended for several reasons) this can now be done. It may be necessary to compensate for this by using a piece of matching carpet or wood and placing it under the front feet so that the case stands flat and solid against the wall.
If the clock is to stand on a fitted carpet, sometimes the carpet thickness against the wall is greater due to a hem or grip rods. If there is a skirting board at floor level, it may be necessary to fix a piece of wood of a similar thickness to the skirting board to the back of the case so that the case will stand up straight and not lean backwards.
