The 'expert' told my wife not to do that, as it could allow the chains to
come off the sprockets inside the clock. I think she even derailed a chain,
by trying to wind it without the weight on the end.
But either way, I want the mount to be able to handle "worst case". The
weights are fairly light anyway (this is only a 1-day clock), I'm more
concerned about the tugging every day not loosening the mount over time.
As it happened, HD didn't have the molly I wanted, so I wound up going with
a new fangled toggle bolt thing they claim can hold up to 100 pounds, plus a
hook. Don't have the clock up yet, but the hook seems really solid.
Thanks again to all that responded.
