Clock Keys/Cranks
There are more than 15 different sizes of keys and winding cranks.
DO NOT use keys/cranks that fit “loosely” on the winding arbors. This can allow click springs/mainsprings to let go. Please let us know if you are in need of a key?
Some clocks require a separate, smaller sized key for adjusting the timekeeping.
If you are only in need of a key to wind you clock, please bring the clock with you so we can fit your clock with a proper key. Winding arbors do become worn over time and the size may vary from the original.
Cranks are used to wind weight driven clocks and range in sizes.
E-Z Winders
Having issues trying to wind your clock?
We sell a couple options that fit onto clocks key and allow easier winding/grip.
Plastic E-Z winder ~ 2 sizes: 1mm – 1.5 mm slots OR 1mm – 2mm slots, $15 each + tax
Brass/metal winder ~ 2 sizes: 6.4mm OR 7mm, $35 each
Note: Each winder will only fit 1 key, each additional key will need it’s own winder. Please make sure before installing your key, that is a proper fitting key, and not loose on the arbors.

We sell a limited assortment of weight shell caps, ends, hooks & bottoms. There are many older styles that are no longer manufactured or being made. Some originals may not be available and a replacement will have to be custom made.

If you do not have the originals we will need to know who manufactured the movement and the model number. Again, some chains are no longer manufactured and replacements may not be available.
