This place always seems to have whatever I need. I'm not the most comfortable person in hardware stores, and often have a hard time describing what I need, but somehow they're always able to help me! Over the years I've gotten screws, hooks, sink pipes, and basically every supply I needed for painting my hallway and bedroom. They're really friendly, helpful and attentive. Most of my trips in are usually 5 mins or less, they're that good! read more

Was super helpful and found everything I needed in less than 2 minutes. Purchased: packing Tape Rubber Hammer read more

I was so impressed with the service and would highly recommend this place. They are super nice and friendly and extremely helpful. One of the guys did me a great favor and I was so thankful. Definitely recommend Columbus Hardware. read more

Duplicated keys didn't work. I went back to fix it once, still not working, went back again to ask for refund, and they refused because I lost my receipt. Who would have make it up for $12 of 4 keys and making 3 trips for this? I lost $12 but they lose a life-long customer, period. I went to a different store and make 4 of them again, all of them work perfectly and cheaper than this store. Don't go there for keys Don't go there for cutting keys. read more

Great service. Great people. Good prices. I was even allowed to go behind the employees only door to supervise the work that was being done. read more

Columbus Hardware - This beautiful peach of Birchwood they custom cut and oval shaped it to my specifications. - Hardware Stores Near Me - New York, New York

This is what most specialty stores were all about, and it's getting harder and harder to find one like this. You walk in, and instead of searching yourself through a store that's bigger the a football field, you ask the nice gentleman for what you need. He then goes directly to the item, and hands it to you. This week, I needed to change the cylinder on a deadbolt lock. He went behind the counter and handed it to me. I wanted extra keys, and he made them right then. Simple, but how hard would it have been at the big HD or L warehouse type stores? Could I have saved a few bucks? Maybe, but I value the entire experience, so I saved an hour's worth of frustration instead. Columbus Hardware, I'm going to miss you when I move out of the neighborhood. read more

These guys always help with everything, the customer service is solid and if I need something they usually have it.

This place has super personal service. That's something you don't find nowadays. Period. They also had a adequate amount of stock on myriad of items. I really like going here and I would go back. read more

Booked to have locks repaired at 9:30 Saturday morning. The guy didn't show up or even call.

Amazing help, very kind and understanding. Went in for a very specific item to inflate my volleyball and were able to assist me finding the single item i needed to inflate it. Happy with the service! read more

I recently stopped by Columbus Hardware to replace a missing bolt on a dinning room chair. They are very helpful, and I got just what I needed. read more

I found the reviews online about customer service at Columbus Hardware too good to believe, so I went in with a shower head. I was fully intending to buy a new one though I really liked the one I had that barely dripped, and I did not like the brand new styles. Lupe approached the problem with intense interest, using every tool he could find to take it apart with relentless vigor. He would not stop until he found the tiny problem no one else could have seen. He was, as I was, elated that it is now perfect. I hastened to buy other things I needed because I have never had such customer care. I can't wait til I have another need so I can shop at Columbus Hardware. Thank you, Lupe read more

This place is the best. Everything randomly I need I find here. Great customer service. Friendly and helpful. Luis is the best really went above and beyond for me when I had an issue. read more

Spacious store, beautiful corner light, very helpful staff, and they have every building supply you could ever need - organized clearly and logically. Probably the platonic ideal of a hardware store. read more

My local hardware store. Slightly more expensive than Lowe's or Home Depot but I come for the convenience of proximity to where I live. Most items are in stock but there have been a couple times I had to go to a larger store for specific items like Green Gobbler Drain Opener which I could not find. I don't count that as a discredit because this is a small local hardware store and I can't expect every item in a warehouse store to be equally available. Staff is friendly and helpful when looking for items. read more

Awesome service!! A man named Luis was super helpful with what I was looking for and provided the best recommendations. Very swift and efficient visit! read more

Every time I have been here, someone has greeted me quickly and asked if I've need help (which I've almost always have needed). Their knowledge means I'm usually in and out pretty quickly with the right item. Much better experience than going to Home Depot. read more

Not as cheep as lowes but reasonablen prices and selection for a local store. The people who complain out the prices I dont think realize smaller buisnesses have higher overhead and need to charge a little more for some stuff. Im happy to pay it if I know it stays in the community and the workers were much more knowledgable than people at lowes. read more

Always extremely helpful and knowledgeable, if they are out of something they are able to tell you when it will be in stock. Women are often condescended to in traditional "male" environments, like hardware stores, lumber yards, auto supply places. Not here! I'm treated with courtesy. Thanks, Columbus Hardware, I appreciate you., read more

I had spent at least half an hour in another hardware store on W 52nd st before stopping by Columbus Hardware. I wish I had done so sooner. I had an issue with a stripped aerator connector and the folks at Columbus solved my issue by removing the plastic connector and installing a metal connector. This took no more than 3 minutes from the time I walked in. When the price came out to $4.49, I demanded that they charge me more for saving me so much time. They refused. Save yourself the hassle and stop by this shop. It's much cleaner, spacious and less cluttered than its competitors. They've won my business for life. read more

Louis and another young person were very helpful, polite and informative as I was trying to figure out what I needed for a home improvement project. It's NYE the end of a difficult year and their attitude made for the best shopping experience for me, a beginner DIYer; they were both in masks, appropriately distanced, knowledgeable, patient and friendly. The store is perfectly designed for those who feel overwhelmed by too many choices- small with just enough options to inform a good decision. Thanks Louis and Happy New Year! read more

Lupe, the locksmith at Columbus Hardware, is not only an Expert locksmith...he is a really down-to-Earth and extremely nice!

This is the Best hardware store in all of Hell's Kitchen for expert help with anything to do with your locks and keys...and by the friendliest and most helpful owner. I highly recommend Lupe at Columbus Hardware for your locksmithing needs. read more

I used to go to the other hardware stores for my needs, like the big box one and another one further down on 9th Avenue, but this is my new "go to" place. They have tons of items and they make keys, and although they don't sell individual nails, they generously gave me four nails when I was asking to buy three. Now that's great outstanding personal local service. As I've said, it's my new "go to" place. read more

It's rare to give a hardware store 5 stars. And honestly, this place is small and doesn't even have everything you might expect in a hardware store. I'm giving this 5 stars for the service. The people here truly try and help you. They don't scam you into buying tools you don't need or sell you extra things. They ask you what you think you need, ask you what you have to do, and give you various options. I dropped in around 5 or 6 times over a week and a half period and every time I was helped above and beyond what I would expect. I normally only rate food on here but I felt the service was so good that they deserved this review. Keep doing what you guys are doing! read more

I walked in randomly on a Sunday afternoon looking to rent a drill to install new curtain rods and was able to get the help I needed right away! Although they don't rent drills, Luis was able to come with me to my studio and install them for me that same day!! He was so professional and kind and did the job in like 30minutes. Will definitely be coming back. read more

This is wonderful neighborhood hardware store. The staff is super knowledgeable and helpful. They carry basically everything you could ever need in your house, including supplies for carpentry, electrical, plumbing, pests, etc. The prices are reasonable. And the staff (Debbie, Luis, Carlos, etc.) will really work with you to understand your problem and help you fix it. Plus, they cut wood for custom shelving sizes and things like that. They've been around forever because they're great. We are lucky to have them in the neighborhood. read more

The staff at Columbus Hardware are so kind and helpful. I highly recommend for any of your hardware needs!

I have to say, the customer service assistance and knowledge of products at this hardware store is excellent. The salesperson went above and beyond to listen and understand what I needed so he could provide the best solution to help me. I left feeling like l'd definitely come back when needing something from a hardware store. read more

This hardware store has it all. The gentleman behind the counter is great. He is very helpful and kind. When I visit our daughter and need and hardware needs, this is where I go. Prices are great. So much better than the big box stores. You also get a lollipop. read more

Columbus Hardware has amazing service and was really helpful. The people there are so sweet and nice and they could help you with any repairs you need such as my living room lamp and my daughters desk lamp and they are brighter than they ever were before. Also my daughters lamp is in even better quality and they changed the wires and both of those lamps. These people actually care for what you need to say and they find the information to help you the most effective way. This store definitely deserves a five star rating and if you do not think so yet give them a chance because it is worth it. read more

I walked in to get a deposable plastic paint tray. When I got to the register the guy looked at it and told me $3.59. I said 'its a piece plastic give me a break'. He wasnt friendly and didnt respond as I walked out the door. I went to Home Depot and got it for $1.09. Support your local merchants but not this one. read more

Why are mom and pop shops going out of business? Because they deserve to. Charge for one small fuse at this store 1.99. charge for a packet of 5 fuses at Lowes just up the street 2.39. Not a lot of money. But, if they'll rip you off for the little stuff how much are they ripping you off on the big stuff? Gouging, why mom and pops don't deserve our loyalty. read more

Called ahead so I didn't need to make an unnecessary trip. The staff was very helpful and polite. I was in and out in no time. Highly recommended. read more

Best hardware store around and knowledgeable staff. I have been there countless times and received top notch help. They go out of their way to help. A+ read more

For a small hardware store they have a variety of supplies, the staff is very helpful and on top of that I received a discount. Well deserved 5 star rating. read more

Excellent customer service! They are really knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I came in with a drum stool that was missing a piece. One of the employees cut a pipe, put screws in it and fixed it. I was really happy to keep something out of the landfill and save me money from having a buy a new one. Also, I felt that they charged me a very reasonable price. I have been in here many, many times and every time I have gotten excellent customer service. read more

Small shop with your typical hardware stuff. Great customer service though! I was dressing up as Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Halloween and desperately needed a stake. When the guy at the front heard that, he went into the back, carved up a stake (round edge of course) and gave it to me for free! read more

Totally shocked at the two poor reviews of this place. Let me tell you something, the people at Columbus Hardware are ANGELS. 1) I live in the neighborhood and come here all the time, they are consistently the friendliest, most helpful staff I've encountered. Am never made to feel like I'm a "stupid girl" asking questions about repairs here. 2) tonight, two days before thanksgiving and 15 min after they had already closed, I called them in a panic because I had mistakenly given them the wrong key to copy. They told me don't worry, and told me to come over even though they were closed. I showed up, and a woman was waiting for me inside the store, even though the grate was already pulled down, and ushered me right in. When I tried to pay, they wouldn't let me. Lovely, lovely, lovely people. Support small businesses!!! read more

Our office won't use anyone else for hardware. The staff at Columbus Hardware has been consistently helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly every time we've needed something. They go out of their way to make sure we get exactly what we need (for example, ordering metric screws so we could fix our conference room door). We highly recommend them! read more

Okay. It's a hardware store. Normally I don't give hardware stores 5 stars because they are hardware stores, not French restaurants. But there are so many negative reviews about this place on the web that I felt I should say that my experience was nothing but good, so 5 stars. One of their staff was standing on the sidewalk outside the store when I walked up on 9th Ave. He greeted me, led me into the store to figure out exactly what I needed to install a complete deadbolt on my new apartment (he was good-I got the right screwdriver, lock hardware, and everything), and he made sure that extra keys were made as well. I shouldn't say this, but they even threw in some free key rings. Every staffer in this place was considerate, helpful, and I'm going back! read more
