How To Hang Cuckoo Clock No Nails

• #i

I judge this would fall under repair - "or it could in fourth dimension!"

I about lost 2 clocks this week to falling off the walls - first one was on a eighty pound picture nail in hanger - the second one was on a angled in sheet rock spiral that started coming out. No harm because I caught them both.

What is the best recommended method for installing cuckoo clocks in sheetrock & plaster walls when you can NOT always observe the studs? I looked around and it seems some kind of wall anchor would be all-time - only what ones? I would not think a wing anchor would piece of work because it could not be tightened all the manner could it? Those supper hooks do not look secure at all… The plastic tap in things always look actually cheap – how virtually those large tap in metal expandable anchors that you can dorsum out, has anyone used those?

Hello!

I accept always used the larger screw in wall anchors. The plastic part will screw into the wall. And then y'all screw in the screw supplied with the plastic ballast, it will make the ballast aggrandize merely a little scrap more in the wall. I've never had a cuckoo fall. Of course, for canvas rock and plaster walls you would have to drill a pilot hole first.

The only time I take actually ever found the absaloute necessity to find a stud to hang a clock on in my home is when I got a comtoise clock in for repairs. The weights on those are HEAVY!!!!!

Hope this helps!

I use these and they piece of work nice "you can get them at WalMart. Yous take a spiral and screw it in the wall start then back it out and but screw this in with a phillips spiral commuter. And so take a spiral that will go in nice and tight but let it out far enough to hank your clock on. Holds up very nice and I have never had one pull put.

I've no idea what a supper hook is - sounds quite edible! Can guess what a wing anchor is, though - the jump-loaded thingies that fly out when they go behind the wall.
You could utilise ane of those and tighten information technology fully, with a flat metal claw to attach it to the wall, then bend the lesser part to fit the hole in the clock.

You lot tin utilise the fly ones also, I use them to hang out glass shelfs, only utilise a nut and washer to leave out the amount you desire to hang the clock on.

I recently put up a wall to seperate my ebay sales junk from the living room and it became an additional clock wall (Yahoo...!).

I was going to make the wall solid sheet of plywood with maybe some wood planks of sorts. I live in a mobile home and so wood is good.

But, wishes on one paw and no coin in the other says different. And so I used drywall. Later I may use some wood covering.

I like the idea of hanging my clocks on that wall in any pattern I desire.

Would I hang my good clocks with any kind of device to sheetrock.

No-way Hose-zay..!
