I have placed an electric round clock on top of the kitchen entrance and also the same kind of clock on top ofthe home office entrance (facing the home office). A friend came to my home and told me I should not do that, Ishould put the clock on the wall besides the door instead. Is that so?

1. Usually it is best not to place a clock above an entrance of a passageway.

3. Frankly, this has more to do with commonsense. In the unlikely event that the clock should fall down; some say it can hit the head of someone walking out of the kitchen entrance. Or when a clock drops to the floor; shards of glass / splinters may be around and someone may get cut by such broken glass.
