How to store a clock?

Recommended Posts

Owing to a life-style change, Iam going to put several clocks into storage.  (with a Professional storage company) The storage time is likely  to be 2-5 years.

My current ideas, are to wrap each clock, after removing pendulums, and stuffing cloth around gongs, chimes, and pendulum hangers to prevent movement.  The wrapping will be VOC paper (rust preventing paper) then into cardboard divided plastic storage crates, the type with interlocking lids, which can be stacked, without fear of collapse.  Industrial grade, rather than DIY shed grade.

Some clocks are mantle, others are torsion, all are mechanical rather than battery, those few will just have batteries removed.

The spring driven ones, should they be let stop naturally, or be fully let down?  the torsion ones will have to be let down manually.

Or should I be doing differently?
