How to Open a Westclox Alarm Clock

Westclox alarm clocks are reliable timekeepers that have been around for over a century. However, if you need to make repairs or replace the battery, you'll first need to open the clock. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Materials you'll need:

Small flathead screwdriver
Phillips head screwdriver (for some models)

Step 1: Remove the back cover

Locate the screws holding the back cover in place. Usually, there are two screws near the top and two near the bottom.
Using a small flathead screwdriver, carefully remove the screws.
Gently pull the back cover off the clock.

Step 2: Disconnect the battery

Once the back cover is removed, locate the battery. It will be a small, round battery, usually held in place by a metal clip.
Use your flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the metal clip and disconnect the battery.

Step 3: Remove the movement

Locate the screws holding the movement in place. They are usually located around the perimeter of the movement.
Using a Phillips head screwdriver, carefully remove the screws.
Gently lift the movement out of the clock.

Step 4: Replace the battery or make repairs

Install a new battery of the same type as the old one.
Reconnect the battery to the movement.
If you are making repairs, consult the clock's manual or a qualified technician.

Step 5: Reassemble the clock

Place the movement back into the clock.
Secure it with the screws.
Replace the back cover and secure it with the screws.

Your Westclox alarm clock is now open and ready for repairs or battery replacement. If you encounter any difficulties, refer to the clock's manual or contact a professional repair technician.
