The arm that pushes the arm to make the bird come out, may need to get bent inward some. With a bent or shortened wire, the bird will not come out as far, but also the bird will pull the door shut more when it goes back in the clock case to sleep. If putting an upward hump of a bend in this wire, it will basically be the same as shortening this wire. Try bending up the wire that goes from the bird to the Cuckoo clock door. Also, it is good to put a drop of clock oil on the door hinges and the connections for the wire that goes from the bird to the door. The cuckoo clock movement may need oiling at least on the arms that make the bird go in and out of its house. It maybe the wrong pine cone weight to begin with. If the below issues are checked, and the door only shuts when pulling the weight down, consider adding a heavier weight. Pull down some on the currently used weight and see if the door shuts. If the pine cone weight that controls the cuckoo portion of the clock is not heavy enough this can be the issue. Please check the following to see if it solves the issue of the door not closing all the way. The Cuckoo clock door stuck open could be a number of things. Upon installation of a new cuckoo clock movement this is a common issue. If bent out some toward the case side, will allow the bird to go in more and therefore the door will shut more. This bending in of the wire more into the movement, will in turn make the door come out more.
Locate this horizontal wire that is in the approximate middle of the movement, which is on the strike train side. In some cuckoos this is even trickier to see or adjust as the right hand bellow tube maybe in the way. Right as looking at the back of the movement that is. When looking at the back of the movement, this arm will be in a horizontal direction on the back right hand side of the clock movement. Other times there is no door on the side of the case and need to do it from the back of the movement by taking the back panel off of the cuckoo case. This may be tricky to see or get to, but sometimes there is a small side door on the side of the cuckoo clock case that can open and see this wire, or arm, that pushes the arm that connects to the bird. With a bent or shorter wire, the bird will not come out as far, but also the bird will pull the door shut more when it goes back in the clock case to sleep. The cuckoo clock movement may need oiling at least on the arms that make the bird go in and out of its house.Īlso, it is good to put a drop of clock oil on the door hinges and the connections for the wire that goes from the bird to the door. If you check all of the below issues, and the door only shuts when pulling the weight down, consider adding a heavier weight. Pull down some on that weight and see if the door shuts.
