Just wanted to say thanks. My wife was going to throw the clock away. Solid oak circular. Cost us around $100.00 a few years ago. Cost me $12.00 to fix it. Thanks again for having the parts to fix it.

Excellent company.
I needed to replace a clock movement on a terra-cotta clock/thermometer plaque given to my wife as a present from her sister. I found this movement on Google and it seemed to fit my needs. When it arrived, I immediately removed the defective movement and replaced it with the one I ordered from Rockler. It fit perfectly. I was able to use the hands from the old movement to match the hand on the thermometer. It is accurate and couldn’t have been easier to install. Highly recommend using this company for replacement movements.

After 30 years the original mini quarts movement stopped working. Was able to find the same movement at Rocker, this one should outlive me!!

Being made in the USA is great. Being able to choose a face thickness made the installation easy. It is working well. So far so good!

Needed to replace an older unit. Was happy to find this choice, because a hanger was incorporated in the design

If I have a 1/4" clock face should I buy a max 3/8" movement to be sure it will fit?
How far does the stem project above the clock face....Is that the maximum face thickness? Or is that the diameter of the stem projecting from the works?
BEST ANSWER: The face thickness refers to the thickness of the clock at the stem. IE: 3/8 in. is the max thickness of the wood for the clock stem to protrude enough to put on the nut and hands for a (3/8 in. face thickness clock fitter). If the wood is too thick, just rout or carve out the back of the wood the size of the fitter to leave only a thickness of 3/8 in. or less.

How thick is the unit? Is that the 9/16" diameter the details refers to?
BEST ANSWER: The thickness of the black case of the clock fitter is about 3/4 in. The max face, refers to the thickness of the clock face that the stem of the clock must go through for the nut and clock hands. The ' max face' dimension must be greater than the thickness of the clock face.

Do u have kits with a longer shaft for thicker wood?
BEST ANSWER: they do make kits for thicker wood. The thickness is stated on the package. Whether or not they carry what you need depends on what thickness you are working with. They do have limitations

Hi I'm making a clock for myself and am very new to woodworking and its my first project. But I dont know which thickness one to get. I dont mind routing a little to make it fit but I dont want it to look bad. My clock thickness is approx 11/16" thick? Thank you..
BEST ANSWER: It looks like you should get the maximum 3/4" Face Thickness model. That is 12/16", only 1/16" more than the thickness of your clock face, so you might still have to do some wood work to make it fit.

do they make a tick tock sound? I need replacement clocks that make this sound.
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it makes a tick-tick sound, but you must have your ear almost touching the clock to hear it!

need replacement movement for sterling & noble clock large serial no 2055787?
BEST ANSWER: Are you asking if it would fit that clock? I don't know, I found that I had to try it to see if it would fit mine that I bought from Crate & Barrel. A clock shop offered to replace quartz movement for me, and later realized why he offered, because the length of the shaft has to be long enough to stick through the other side, but short enough to not hit the glass on the other side.

What size works do I need for a CD clock ?
BEST ANSWER: The opening in the CD face doesn't matter, as the only difference is in the protrusion of the stem beyond the face. As a CD is pretty thin, I'd suggest something pretty thin; probably 1/4" or so. Don't forget to order the hands for the clock.

BEST ANSWER: I doubt it but you could drill out the back to recess the movement in it works fine . need large forrester bit or router to do recess

Will this movement support 7" hands?
BEST ANSWER: It depends greatly on the weight of the hands. If they're very thin, or very little material, then probably. But if they are thick or wide, it may slow the movement down.

I made an intarsia piece and i would like to turn it into a clock. Is this what I need? the board is 3/4" thick. Please and thank you
BEST ANSWER: It should work if you get the #35122, which can handle up to a 3/4" thick face. You will be right at the limit, though, so, if you mount it and need a wee bit more clearance, you may need to be prepared to rout out the back of the piece by a small amount, say a 1/16" recess.

Does the movement come with the hand shaft cap?
I am trying to find a narrow high torque clock case height is not an issue but I need it less than 1 1/4 wide. Do they even make such a movement case?
I have a clock that needs a movement like this. It is about 2 feet diameter. But there is a 4 inch cut out which has a pendulum showing. The movement is the battery operated mechanism. The same mechanism causes the pendulum to swing but the pendulum is for show. Is there a mechanism sold here that can move the hands and the pendulum?
if i order item no28324 which hands do i need to order to go with it ?
Does the 9/16 diameter mentioned in the specifications mean that is the size of the hole to be drilled in the clock face?
i need a clock movement that has a shaft that is only 1/4 width, do you have it?
I have a brass mariner clock. I can unscrew the front and replace the quartz part. How do I determine the max face thickness it will require please?
BEST ANSWER: I haven't worked with this part yet, but if you look carefully at the photo of the clockworks, you can see the brass threaded part that would fit through the face. The company is saying that a face of X thickness will still allow the brass nut to screw tightly onto the brass threaded part, holding the whole works in place. You simply need to order the particular item relative to the thickness of your face plate.
