It's impossible to overstate the importance of synchronized clocks for schools. Teachers, students and administrators all depend on accurate clocks to stick to their daily schedules, so when one clock stops working properly, fixing the problem is critical to keeping the day running.
At National Time & Signal, we can replace any of your school clocks even if your overall system came from another supplier.
Replacing vs. Repairing Broken Clocks
You might think repairing a broken clock is more affordable and effective than replacing it. However, the opposite is often true. Here's why replacing broken clocks is a more cost-effective, hassle-free option:
- Less maintenance: Brand-new clocks require less maintenance than aging, damaged clocks. You'll have to keep a closer eye on clocks you repair, whereas if you replace a broken clock, you can just set it and forget it.
- Long-term savings: Clocks that have suffered damage are more likely to break again, resulting in more extensive problems over time. Replacing old, broken clocks saves money in the long run by enabling you to avoid costly repairs.
- Increased reliability: You can rely on new clocks to function properly, whereas old clocks are more likely to experience problems with accurate timekeeping — this is especially true for clocks that have been damaged or broken. Keep your school on schedule by replacing broken clocks rather than repairing them and hoping they work.
The Benefits of Synchronized Clock Replacements
Synchronized master clock systems are essential for schools. Every classroom needs to display the same time so teachers stay on track during their lessons and meetings. Accurate timing ensures assemblies finish on time and students make it to the bus at the end of the day. If your clocks are out of sync, or even if one clock breaks, your school can run into some scheduling errors.
Replacing clocks is a strategic way to keep your school operating as it should be without causing excessive disruption or breaking your budget. Here are a few reasons why.
Save Time and Money by Replacing Your System Gradually
Replacing a whole master clock system at once is a major investment for schools. With replacement clocks, you can upgrade your system in phases.
Replacing a legacy system all at once can interfere with classes and school activities. Gradually replacing your system with one or several clocks at a time allows you to minimize school day disruptions so your students can learn uninterrupted.
By replacing one clock at a time, you can work with your budget to gradually upgrade your existing system classroom by classroom instead of allocating a large sum of money to tackle the whole building — or district — at once.
Address Broken Clocks Individually
Maybe you've noticed that one or two clocks in your building are displaying the wrong time, but the rest all seem to be fine. Your supplier may have stopped providing replacement parts for clocks that are several years old. The manufacturer may also have discontinued the product line your school uses, leaving you with few options.
There is a way to solve the problem. Universal replacement clocks allow you to only replace the problem clocks without having to touch the rest of the system, making them a budget-friendly, time-saving option for schools.
Work Seamlessly With Your Existing System
You can upgrade your school's clocks without ever needing to touch the overarching master clock system. Our universal replacement clocks are compatible with systems from a variety of clock manufacturers, so you can rest easy knowing your new clock will work regardless of where your existing infrastructure came from.
We offer a variety of clocks that operate with different voltages, so whether your school currently uses Lathem, Simplex or another synchronized system, we can provide reliable replacements at a fraction of the cost of repairing your existing system.
