Great little place tucked away in K town. Their prices are really great for lightbulbs, of all things. I was able to find regular bulbs, which are getting harder to find with everything going LED, and at a good price too. I come here a lot to have keys made. They have a solid inventory and very helpful service. read more

Service , experience and great inventory of items ,it's always a pleasure to come in here and find out they know what you are talking about

helped me figure out how to mount a TV an the right tools. i'm just a girl but did not feel judged or scared to ask for help

Tired of wandering around Home Depot looking for a part or for someone to ask? This is your place. Old school hardware store with someone at the front desk to help you. I'll be back! read more

Great place to get little odds and ends so you don't have to waste all day trying to find something at the big box stores. They carry garage clickers for all the surrounding buildings and are an especially great resource for these. read more

This store is much more expensive than Home Depot but because i like to support my neighborhood stores, i've been spending money here for 20 years when the original owner, the older gentleman used to work there. He gave it to his son who is also nice but the other staff guy is very rude. He never greets you; instead, he ignores you when you walk in, even when i'm trying to pay for my stuff and give him money, he purposely ignores you. I purposely started going back to HOme Depot for 3 years and spent around 15K, just because of this surly worker/ The money could have gone to Jim, the new owner. I decided to give the store another chance but the worker still is rude. I'll give another chance but if this childish behavior continues, then I'll spend a lot of money at HD again. read more

Decided to DIY paint and caulk my bathroom and Callahan helped me with everything! They recommended products, answered all my questions and were so helpful. Great customer service and a wide selection of items! read more

They made it to easy to get a water heater installed, even beat out the estimate I had got. Got it done within 2 days. EZ!

Excellent Service, there is everything you are looking for, clean, and everyone is professional and friendly. I recommend them. I have been a customer of many years and I have known Ruben the cashier for 30 years, a good friend. read more

Called Callahan around 1pm to see if they could come to my parents' house to fix some leaky faucets. They weren't sure if their plumber would have time that same day. But at 3:30pm, I got a call that they'd be sending someone over. They came to inventory the parts he needed and then called me to tell me how much then parts and labor would cost $186 for 5 leaky faucets. I think that's reasonable given they were able to come the same day. He came back with the parts and got to work. It took less than an hour to complete! Their guy was so nice and friendly. I won't hesitate to call them again for any plumbing issues at my parents' house. read more

I found Callahan's from Yelp. I only went in for a couple of things, but great to go into an old-time hardware store where they still provide good service and care about their customers. It reminded me of growing up in my father's store in Westchester, CA, Gerald's Paint and Hardware. Unfortunately we had to close up after 50 years but people still talk about it. Callahan's reminded me of the good old days! read more

(Shopped 12/11/17 MO @ 2:00pm): Another viable hardware store to call upon instead of heading to the big-box stores! Forced by the local post office to replace three of the four apartment mailboxes at one of the properties I managed, my postal carrier recommended Callahan Hardware. I was completely grateful and surprised how quickly they came to mind as if he'd get a kickback if I were to make a purchase there. As a first-timer, would I continue to consider them as another option as a property manager!? PURCHASE Surface Mounted USPS Access 6-Doors Vertical Mailboxes ($209.94 x 4): Nearly identical to the ones I had to replace, these 40 lb. all aluminum construction brass boxes came well-packaged https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=OwPOi7SRTEO2Eh8OWXrtVw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw and were relatively easy and light to carry; then, eventually a simple installation process with the help of two people https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2ZjHK75XyWuvBrUj2Wo1cQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. They looked fabulous in place, the price cheaper than what I found online, complied with the USPS, and compliments from various tenants equated to a positive situation all-around. SERVICE Greeted by an older gentleman, I directly asked if he carried the mailboxes and he definitively confirmed that he did. He was able to answer questions I had about the product and how to install them which he assured me with his knowledge and professionalism. Once I paid for the mailboxes, another male associate assisted with loading them into my car through the back entrance https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=pNNkpIxOx4YzNqgaMCfBMw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, and off I was done. No-nonsense service where you should have an idea what you were looking for in order to get in and get out as quickly as possible. PARKING (FREE) They had their own small parking lot in the back https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=JM3dG6wjlpCxUTzDAZS4lQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Otherwise, there were plenty of metered and timed street parking along the main drag of Western Ave. and surrounding streets (please read all posted signs). ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A dingy worn façade https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=MNeGSJtxDRdO5_VSe41x3w&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, this store was stuffed front-to-back and wall-to-wall with aisles of shelves filled with merchandise https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Ozje9iLvzov4IvgipcB7NA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw from electrical, flooring, hardware, letters https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=TykqlEY0uK25fGi7IoGFnQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, lightbulbs, plumbing, signs, and more. I didn't see a garden center, but they provided other services like key cutting and special orders. The walls - if you were able to see them - were covered in a few spots with various promotional posters and signage. Minimal amount of natural lighting came in through the tinted and dirty large glass front doors and windows while soul-sucking electric fluorescent ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while rock music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I would gladly add Callahan Hardware to my ever-growing list of small local hardware stores needed to manage rental properties. They carrried a myriad of items the big box stores didn't sell nor special ordered but ones I found to be hard-to-find and needed with some of the older properties. The prices seemed really competitive along with a decent selection. The small staff I dealt with were very informative. Don't let the aesthetics scare you off because there was a wealth of products inside. I found exceptionally good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $920.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.5 STARS read more

See all

Came to buy an advertised plumbing item, but was told that item was no longer that price. Was $170 more expensive. Even though it was still advertised at the sale price the next month. Very disappointed. read more

Like many others, I've been on the hunt for cleaning supplies/gloves/masks/etc. I gave up after seeing the long lines and empty shelves at other stores, knowing I didn't stand a chance. I went in to get some products to deal with a plumbing issue, and after talking to a kind gentleman (wearing gloves and a protective face mask), I found out that they had: 1) all the supplies needed to fix the problem 2) a handyman on-site who could help me out 3) AND MASKS, GLOVES, BLEACH, DETERGENT, AND DISH SOAP! (WHAT?!) What a great surprise! The staff was knowledgeable, patient with me, and helpful (I also noticed some Spanish speaking employees helping Spanish-speaking customers). Thank you for remaining open during this time and being so friendly and helpful! 10/10 - WILL SHOP HERE AGAIN (AND SOON!) read more

Just speaking as a lady that does not know her way around tools or hardware, I really appreciated that the gentleman who helped me the other day find a nut for a missing piece on my elliptical; he took a look a was pretty sure they didn't have it but he gave it a try anyways and did find one that fit. And it works! Thank you! read more

Great hardware store, easy to get in and out of there, has great selection and easy to get someine to help you find things, much easier than going to a big warehouse hardware store. Will be back. read more

Independent hardware with antique hardware fir older homes (that Home Depot does not carry). Very helpful

Very helpful and friendly, surprisingly bigger inside than it looks from the street. It felt comforting inside like they would have exactly what I needed to solve my repair issue (and they did!). I will definitely be back to support this local business! read more

Great hardware store. Needed repair supplies for some home improvement and the staff were beyond helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely my new go to for hardware supplies. Prices and customer service are what will keep me coming back. read more

These guys have everything you need for that DIY home project or to hear and cool your house. It so much faster to go here and ask them for what you need then to wander around Home Depot or drown in Amzon-land. There's ever free parking in the back off of Snt Andrew's! Save yourself the hassle and support local businesses! read more

Amazing customer service, friendly staff and has everything you need. I went in because my dog dug a hole in my window screen and to my surprise Callahan Hardware custom makes screens. I was able to put in my order within seconds and picked my nee screen the very next day. Amazing turn around time and the prices are very reasonable. Great family ran local hardware store, I will always come here first before I go anywhere else. read more

You'd be surprised about all the hidden hardware and other tool places that are off the beaten track.

To see that Callahan's is still in business is fabulous! I am copying the family scrapbook for my 3 daughters. One of the stories I am putting in it is that from 1947 to 1954 my dad would say to my younger brothers and me, "Want to go for a ride?" We'd hop in the car and he would take us to Callahan's. When I was about 10 or 11, I walked to the store by myself - 5 blocks - saw Mr. Callahan and asked him if there was anything in the store my Dad didn't have that I could buy for a Christmas present for $10. He handed me a pair of pliers that was a new item. Happy Christmas all around. I don't have a photo to illustrate this story, so went to the internet to see if I could find any Callahan Hardware sign. Imagine my surprise to find the correct one! read more

This is the old school neighborhood hardware store that you'd think you'd miss out on growing up in L.A. The guys who work here are always willing to lend their opinion. They don't carry metric hardware, but what are ya - a communist!? read more

Great service & prices, with COVID19 going around small stores like these are great just a few people inside compared to Home Depot filled with hundreds! Great prices too. read more

Been doing a lot of DIY projects recently and I've been to your usual hardware and tool stores, with an average experience. The older gentleman who was working the day I went helped me get everything I needed. I was in and out of the store in 5 minutes. Definitely my new go to for anything hardware/DIY related!! read more

Callahan Hardware was extremely helpful and beneficial to my remodel. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about my needs. Their prices are unbeatable and I really appreciated the personalized attention with each visit. Great experience. Definite A+ and am surely planning to go back! read more

I went to purchase a piece of window screen and was quoted almost double the price elsewhere for EXACTLY again, EXACTLY the same size and type screen. I thought they were kidding...NO.... they are higher priced than most other comparable stores. I first went there in 1970 on occasion and will NEVER go back again. December 31, 2013 It is now 21/2 years and I still have not spent any money here. Still their loss. read more

Well stocked neighborhood hardware store. It can be overwhelming for a lady to walk in but I was assisted by the friendly staff and was able to buy everything I needed from picture hangers, sink basket, to drapery hooks. Jim was patient enough to answer all of my questions about my home projects and made recommendations. They offer quality brands (i.e. Stanley) that are reasonably priced while some are even cheaper compared to Amazon especially if you don't need supplies in bulk. I am very happy and satisfied with my visit and definitely recommend Callahan - excellent customer service! read more

Callahan had everything I was looking for to complete the home repair tasks I've been working on! They beat the prices of bigger retail stores and the employees were very helpful and friendly. I'm coming back for every job I have after this, and referring friends and family to them. Keep it up! read more

They were nice friendly people. I came in and was immediately greeted "can I help you with anything sir" got my keys copied. And was on my way home. read more

As others mentioned, an old school hardware store with friendly service. I didn't get the specific part I was looking for but the staff pointed me to a bike store to get the part. FYI doesn't take Amex due to charges. read more

They know a lot about plumbing, and they make custom screens, otherwise, it's not worth going since everything costs twice as much as Home Depot. Closed on Sunday. Praise Jeebus. read more

Callahan has a lot of parts for any project you may need I have shopped from this store and the workers there are very helpful and ready to help ,the best they have its their customer service as well as a big bunch of everything of parts for any project like I said before read more

I have bad feeling as far as SERVICE is concerned. It's been in business for about 40 years or so. In the past I got two wall heaters for apartments I managed, complete with installation. I was happy. The current staff, especially in the key area, is not friendly. I had two handymen with me on a return trip regarding a re-key problem. I gave the key guy the only key I had for a particular lock and I asked him to make me 3 more copies. My friends noticed that as soon I handed the key guy that one key I had, he took it an mixed it up with the other keys on the counter. Although he made me 3 keys, the were for a lock I already had him make keys for. When we went to re-install the locks, we discovered that I had 8 keys for a lock when I only nneded four and I had NO keys, including the one I brought in to have copies made of. When I had gone back with my handymen, the key guy & another one present was not being gracious at helping me solve my problem. Instead he belittled me. I guess as long as I have to deal with rude people, I won't give them my business for any more. I sorry that my patronage of their business for heaters was not appreciated. read more

Don Ruben (Don is like saying mister in spanish) Always talks to me about any esoteric question I might have. He's awesome and the rest of the team there are also very helpful. read more

came in and the smell of just stuff.. (yes im a bit weird) the staff was very helpful, helped me find a thingy to fit into the hose & faucet even though they were two different sized and it totally fit! im a bit of a blonde when it comes to some stuff.. but and well total spent was under 30 including the hose,... and i came out a very happy person.. since it usually cost more at home depot and the workers there are very oh so clueless. it felt nice to get help from people who knows what they talking about. read more

Very competitive prices, so happy I found this gem in my neighborhood! The guys are super sweet and knowledgable. I'll be going here for all my home needs in the future. And fun fact: it's been around for 90+years, vintage find!! read more
