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!

Full disclosure, I am not a DIY guy. I am missing the home improvement gene. But whenever I need…read moresomething that is hardware related I think of Tritch, particularly if it's a hard to find item, because typically if they don't carry it, they can tell me where to find it. I just had a security screen installed over our front door, so this mean having locks rekeyed so that the security screen door and the front door could be opened using one key. Because I have a large extended family, I needed 10 copies of the house key made. This wasn't a specialty key, just a standard off the shelf Kwikset key. I went to the KeyMe vending machine at our local Albertsons supermarket. Their cost was $11 per key. There was a special offer in which if you had the machine duplicate two keys, it would throw in a third for free. I was tempted to just get my 10 keys made then and there in order to save time, but then I remembered Tritch Hardware in Eagle Rock. I went into the store today, and they were able to cut the 10 keys while I waited, for less than the cost of 3 keys at the Key Me machine. I can't say enough good things about the staff at Tritch.

This is a neighborhood store that isn't too large, but it carries excellent ACE product offerings, including paint supplies and paint. There's always someone available to mix colors and prepare your paint. You can actually browse paint colors on their website, which may be helpful for getting ideas before your visit. Parking is easy and free - they have a complimentary parking lot in the back. Simply drive into their driveway and you'll see it.

It's HOME Depot for goodness sake!…read more Home Depot is the best place to get your house building, painting and repair related stuff. They always have the stuff I need. And today I needed a sharp knife for BEAR and PIG hunting and a wrench. They have nice staff and they're very attentive to your needs....I mean the hardware related need. Hahaha. Overall, I got what I want and need.

Pros: can't think of a single one.After repeated negative experiences and similar stories from the…read morecommunity, I don't believe a single positive review from the paid "Elite Yelp" whatever reviewers. They are dishonest. Cons: most products on the shelves are defective returns. I made the mistake of not checking if a product is a return and sure enough the product was defective, had been returned, and they just placed it back on the shelves knowing some unlucky person would get stuck with it. Their return policy is aware of this because they make their returns a very uncomfortable process. I was questioned by the store and treated like a criminal for trying to do an exchange, not even a return. There are so, so many options nearby for all sorts of home improvements solutions. Nearby we have independent business for Nurseries, floor, roofing, Kitchen, lighting, and they're not using their business as a staging ground for ICE. Home Depot parking lot is a flock camera station. I am grateful I never have to return to this awful place again.

Instead of searching through a huge warehouse, hoping to find someone to help you, everything here is right in front of you, and there's plenty of help if you need it. We brought in a screen door to have the screen replaced. The price was very reasonable, and the quality of work was top notch. They said it might take a day or two, but the work was completed later the same day. So many local hardware stores have closed up recently. We're sure glad Arnold's is here!

Most of their products I was able to use a couple of times before they fell apart. Don't expect any employee assistance, just like the Dollar Tree, usually there is only one employee running the whole store. If you are lucky and can find what you're looking for, comes another terrible experience at the cashier. They insist very rudely to sign you up for their member rewards points. We don't find any value in signing up for rewards points at every single business we go to, whether it's the hardware store or Boba Tea. We already had to return a few defective items and they make a big problem out of defective returns when we're not signed up for their reward program even when the item is just $5. They are very invasive in the type of documentation they ask their customers. It's just a screwdriver??? Why do you need my phone number and driver license??? No.
