    Nice small hardware store on 4th St in Royal Oak that meets many of my project needs. When I am in a hurry and don't want to drive to Home Depot/Lowes/Menards that are farther away, this store almost always meets my needs and saves me time and gas. Relative to the store, it has all the basic stuff you would expect from a hardware store like Hardware, electrical, paint, plumbing, tools, ... etc and also offers some unique stuff Like Traegger smoker Grilles/supplies/pellets, Craftsman tools and a full assortment of lawn care products. Ace also has a free rewards program where you get periodic cash awards for use with purchases at their store and has some great sales prices to boot. I just received two $5 rewards cards that I will be using at my next trip to this store to buy some Traegger cherry wood pellets for the same cost as on line and avoided the shipping cost. The $5 savings card will be on top of the already low price making the savings on this product a great deal $$$kaching! Overall this store is a good alternative to the big chain stores for smaller projects especially if closer to your home.

    Thank you so much to Bri. She helped me find a good cleaner for my wood floors. She was really nice as well and actually wanted to help me.

    Tony's is a local hardware store that's close to my house. I prefer to shop small businesses in my…read morecommunity so this fits the ticket. You will pay a tiny bit more here than big box stores but that's okay when you know you won't be standing in long lines, deal with crabby staff and can get assistance carrying something to your car if needed. Tony's usually has what I'm looking for but doesn't always have a huge selection of some items. But if you're looking for helpful service, someplace to get a key cut or a gallon of paint without having to travel too far, Tony's is your place.

    I prefer to visit small independent stores. I bought a large fan and had to wait for my husband to…read morepick me up. It was 95 degrees outside and across the street was a large shade tree. I piled my purchases in the shopping cart and waited under the tree where I told my husband I would wait. My plan was to load my stuff in the car and return the cart. An employee came out to tell me this was personal property and it had to be returned, not "can I help you?" I am an older woman and just purchased over $100 at the store, seriously, I need this cart? I returned the cart and struggled to carry the items to my shady spot. Meanwhile, a woman in another car told me to stop stealing! My daughter lives in this neighborhood so I am there a lot. I was so disappointed in their response.

The guys who run it are friendly, funny and knowledgeable about everything "hardware". Start here and if they don't have it they'll direct you to Brooks, Atlas, etc etc.

    Back in 2010/11 I spent a few months managing an apartment building near here. I was in 3rd Ave…read moreHardware at least 3 or 4 days a week, and sometimes 5 or 6. A couple of times I had to make multiple trips in one day. The staff was always professional and helpful, and almost always had what I needed, which is saying a lot since I managed an old 50-unit building that needed a lot of things for a lot of problems. Sometimes I would grab the wrong thing, and it was never a problem bringing it back and exchanging it for the right thing. Sometimes my boss would get a bit behind in paying for it all, and they would gently remind me, and the ol' slumlord would send them a check from Florida. They were cool but firm about it. It seemed to be a situation they'd been through many times before. They have homey touches here - a small tv on the counter that's always showing something. A fridge with Faygo in the can. My favorite thing about 3rd Ave Hardware is the bicycle selection. In the warmer months there's a whole row chained together on the sidewalk out front. Old ten speeds, 70s 3 speeds, cruisers, mountain bikes, etc. But, wait, there's more inside! Another row between the front door and the register and still more up and down the cramped aisles! (3rd Ave Hardware could really use a more spacious locale.) The prices won't break the bank either. I just bought my second bike from there - a green mountain bike from CCM, that Canadian company that makes hockey equipment. It's a pretty sweet bike for $100. My last one was, too. It was an old 70s 3 speed with a big comfy seat and a glistening orange paint job that just looked like candy. Too bad it got ripped off. Oh well, that's life in the D. I won't pack it in, and I'm glad 3rd Ave won't either. I'm only knocking them down one star because of their paint selection. It's lousy and overpriced. Go somewhere else for paint.
