Yep, read all the negative reviews before I posted mine and there spot on. Went there twice on 2…read moredifferent days and first time whoever works in the morning was just rude. No emotion didn't say hello. Barely want to even help me but whatever I ordered apart online so I was just picking it up. Went back the next day, online it says the close at 6:30 I got there at 6:03. As soon as I walk in a man and a lady are just standing there talking and laughing and they instantly look at me and say "oh we're closed" even though the door is wide open and then they're just sitting there kicking the shit. I just stand there with a blank face cuz I'm like...really.. it's damn near 30min till close time and yall are literally doing nothing. Lady says.. "well do you know what you need?" Cuz she knew I was like wtf.. so that was her attempt to help me, but I was returning something.. I knew it was gana be an issue so I just turn around and walked out.. they literally walked right behind me and closed the door n locked it. Stood there n watch me go to my car. You think they would help me when there's still 30 minutes to the store closes and there's nobody in there. It's not like they're busy. I'm the only customer in there. Pathetic il never step foot in there again.

The workers here are always approachable, friendly, and genuinely helpful. They'll give you good advice, offer their honest opinions, and even help you figure out ways to save money depending on the project you're tackling. Always a great experience and definitely one of those places I can rely on!

Ever since moving to San Gabriel over 30 years ago, this has been my hardware store for home…read moremaintenance. They always have what I need and now it's plumbing. The shower is leaking and the lawn needs watering, so I jumped into the car to get what I need. Although this is an Ace store, coupons are site specific and are not shared among the hardware stores. Oh well, I'll need to be more careful reading that fine print, but got what I needed and not wasting time looking for the right hardware. Although not the cheapest, it is the most convenient to my home, so I'll be shopping here for a little longer...

Sometimes it's nice to skip the big box stores and support a true neighborhood hardware store…read more I stopped in to grab a few items and, as always, found myself spending extra time checking out their incredible BBQ selection. If you're into grilling or smoking, this place is a hidden gem. They have an impressive assortment of BBQ rubs, sauces, accessories, and a great selection of Traeger pellets. It's easy to get lost browsing all the options. Of course, it's still a fully stocked hardware store, so you'll find everything you'd expect for your home improvement and repair projects too. What really keeps me coming back is the atmosphere. It reminds me of the neighborhood hardware stores I grew up with. The staff genuinely welcomes you when you walk in, they're knowledgeable, happy to answer questions, and offer advice you can actually trust. On top of that, their prices are very competitive. Shopping here just feels more personal, and it feels good supporting a local business that truly values its customers. Great people, great prices, and great vibes. Highly recommended!

Beware of the store Manager here is why ! I visited…read moreMerritt's Ace Hardware on Hacienda Blvd with my e-bike because there is no secure bicycle parking outside. Before bringing it in, I asked the cashier if it was okay since I was only going to be inside for a few minutes to purchase a few items. The cashier said it was fine. A few minutes later, the store manager, who I believe is named Evan, came through the store yelling, "Whose e-bike is that?" in front of other customers. Instead of speaking to me professionally, she immediately became confrontational. I calmly explained that I only needed a few minutes to finish my purchase, but she responded by insulting me and using profanity. I'm an adult, a paying customer, and a regular shopper at this location. There was no reason for the situation to be handled with shouting and disrespect. If there was a store policy, it could have been explained politely instead of creating a scene. I reported the incident to corporate, but because this location is independently franchised, they were unable to resolve the issue. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this store while this manager is in charge. Customers deserve professionalism and respect, not public embarrassment over a situation that could have been handled with a simple conversation. Ty

Great service, low prices, excellent hardware selection…read more The staff at Altadena Hardware are friendly, helpful, and much more knowledgeable than big box stores. They will ask you about the project you're doing, and help find the right products and materials to fit the application of your work. Need to attach something to something else? They will guide you through the a-la-carte screws, nails, nuts, and bolts with expertness, making sure that the style, strength, and size of the hardware fits your project's needs. The prices for most items are competitive with big box stores-- items like PVC pipe, wood filler, and hardware are cheaper at Altadena Hardware in a side-by-side comparison to big box stores. If you purchase materials like wood or pipe, they can cut it for you for transport! The selection of paint, hardware, garden supplies, light bulbs, power tools, adhesives, and most other typical household hardware needs are excellent. Based on size, they don't stock as much lumber or appliances as big box stores. Very helpful -- they do cartridge exchange for Soda Stream!! And have many options of Soda Stream flavorings. They also sell local honey up at the cash register! Altadena Hardware is my first choice for hardware needs!
