There's a SOLID reason why this place has 5 stars, & I'm happy to add one more! Today, Richard at the front was incredibly attentive and helpful. He went way above and beyond! After going to 3 other stores to try and find what I needed, each of which had terrible customer service where the employees didn't give a $hit, I was stoked to find that this place had someone who actually cared. In fact, it took more than a couple tries to find exactly what I needed, & Richard was more than willing to help. To the owners: thanks for being here, having such a huge inventory, & for hiring people who treat your customers with respect! I will definitely be back!! To my fellow Yelp'ers: THIS should be your first stop. Forget big box names & go here. You'll not only be supporting a local business, you'll save yourself some stress!!! *They have a $15 minimum - so keep that in mind. read more

Want to get SCREWED? Go to a different store, this shop is awesome!!! I was looking for metric M6 and M8 screws to mount my new TV in my apartment. Most stores didn't have any metric screws in stock, but this place had every type you could imagine. The staff was extremely friendly, and didn't even charge me a dollar for the few screws I needed. They just gave them for free. I've never had such a good experience at a hardware store, definitely recommend and will comeback if I need hardware supplies again. Thank you Harrison & Bonini. read more

Harrison & Bonini - Hardware Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

I needed a bike bolt for my nephew's ebike thru axle and with the pandemic, bike parts are hard to find and I couldn't even find out the correct size and pitch online. These guys are the best and know their stuff. read more

After several months of frustration, I finally got my license plate from the DMV for my motorcycle but found myself short of hardware -- and, having lost a bolt that holds on a turn signal in July, decided I really needed to make a stop. The nice man at Harrison & Bonini totally set me up with the right size fasteners and I was able to get everything sorted. He even gave me a special price for the three bolts and nuts! Woo hoo!! Super friendly and nice -- I'll definitely make sure to visit them again in the future. read more

The best store in SF to buy Allen wrenches. Helpful staff. This location has been here for decades. Very reliable.

Great customer service. I went there for the first a few days ago and they had everything I needed.

Bolts and nuts galore! These guys are on point. Super helpful and they can make it happen. Whatever it is your thinking.

This is a response to "Jeff R." I am an employee here at Harrison & Bonini, and I recall the time he came "before 4." We close at 3:55pm majority of the time and the day Jeff came wasn't any different. He arrived exactly at 4pm (our normal closing time) and was pecking on our glass doors with his keys and banging the same door with the bottom of his fists. Now, I DON'T have to help you when you come late, and when you bang continuously on the front door insisting we open for you (as the way Jeff did), im more incline to leave you outside. We're not a chain business so we do have more leeway to do what we want but that doesn't mean that if you come a bit late we won't help you, in fact we do that more often than not. In Jeff's case, he was rude. PLAIN & SIMPLE. I opened the door and said "If you keep banging like that, your really won't be helped" and he insisted we must close earlier than posted and continued to argue with me about how and when we close. At 3:55 pm, we close our doors and help whoever is left in our building. We then proceed to do our end of day paper work which takes no longer than 15 minutes...if that. He continued to make remarks about how we must close at 3:40pm and other nonsense. If he would of approached me with some sincerity or some common courtesy this situation would of ended up different. So I told him I can't help him and closed the door, he then kicked the front door and rode away on his bike. To suggest that we work only 6.5 hours is absurd. Our doors open at 7:30am until 12:00pm (4.5 hours) then from 12:30pm - 4:00pm (3.5 hours) If my math is correct, that is 8 HOURS! We are a small business with a small staff. Jeff was right about one thing though, we only have 1-2 people working the counter, and since we're limited on employees, it's hard to help everyone at the same time. It's something that we've been trying to improve on. If your in a hurry, please call ahead and ask that your order be placed on "Will-Call." If it's a sensitive item, ask for a "Physical Item Check" to ensure you get what you called for. We're always trying to help our customers find what they need, your cooperation makes it much easier for us and you. If you want help after working hours I suggest you call ahead before we close and say you might be a little late. We'll most likely wait for you and you'll be helped. Respect goes a long way anywhere you go, Harrison & Bonini is no different. Thanks alot for reading this lengthy post, I just had to straighten some things out. - Alex read more

Screws, fasteners and small tools for tradesfolk are their game. You better bring your game too, and know what you want, there is zero handholding at this place. It's closer to SoMa and FiDi than Center Hardware. I gots me some gel blue loctite and breathable ez on/off half latex coated gloves (and no it was not for the Folsom Street festival right around the corner) TIP, bring a business card to smack down on the counter whilst they enter you in the (tandy) computer, lest them not think you're a non-trades plebeian read more

Aaah-maay-zing! Went to 4 different hardware stores looking for a heavy gauge cotter pin (for a manual hi-jack lift that broke while carrying a 900lb load lifted 5ft in the air), you can imagine the urgency in finding the piece of hardware. After no luck and lots of blank stares at every location. I popped in to H&B on the recommendation of a contractor who overheard my request at one of the inferior hardware stores, and not only did they know what a cotter pin was, they had 10 of them, in stock!!!!! TRUE fastener PROFESSIONALS. Hard to come by these days. They have every fastener imaginable! And if the don't have it, they'll get it! read more

This place has saved me numerous times. Every time something comes up and I need some obscure piece of hardware to keep my construction schedule on track this is the only place that has what I'm looking for. I'll call seven different specialty hardware stores and none of them ever have what I need except for this place.They are now my go to for obscure hardware read more

Was assigned to pick up some A307 bolts from here - found parking right in front. got help within a few minutes, and got 80 bolts for a discounted price (between what they sell per bolt for 50 and 100). guy was really helpful, and although their CC system is a bit old, he took the time and finished the transaction (even though there were other customers). what really topped the cake was that i needed the receipt to expense it, but accidently got it lost on the construction site. When i called them up asking to see if i can get a copy, the guy not only looked through all his paperwork (even though it was yesterday, the receipt was still sorted in different ways) and offered to either email or fax it to me. This definitely saved me not only a trip there, but $50 worth of a potentially lost receipt. This place is specialized in fasteners, and little else. I will def head back if i need something unique (even found shackles that other locations didn't have). Defnot a hardware-hardware store, so if you're not looking for something that can make a hole or go in a hole, call first! read more

Response to Alex, I did call ahead and sorry if I was slightly rude but I was just upset that you closed early as you confirmed (3:55). The sign says 4pm. I went back again a few days ago and again it took about 40 minutes and there were only two people in front of me. Your response was back in August and you say that is something you are changing? One of the persons in front of me was just shaking their head in disbelief how long things were taking. Someone from the office even brought down some sort of paperwork for the counter guy to sign causing a further delay. However... The counter person is great, the selection is unbeatable, I stand corrected about the hours, .I thought it opened at 9. The hour off of lunchtime is still very lame and has caused many of people frustration. The additional star added to my admittedly unfair original one star. read more

This place should be a San Francisco institution. It has all your tools and hardware and staffed by the most knowledgeable guys ever. So if you can avoid going to Lowe's and Home Depot, you should go here and center hardware - both my absolute favorites. $15 min but that's easy to do if you see the files, drivers, bits and bobs. Shop small and keep San Francisco small businesses local! read more

Huge inventory is tucked away behind the counters of this specialty hardware shop. The staff was incredibly helpful and did not patronize me as I wandered in practically clueless. They took the time to help me pry out a bolt stuck in a barrel nut, re-thread the nut, and find me replacements. They typically serve the professional segment -- to my left and right were building / hardware professionals fetching all sorts of odd-looking screws / bolts / pieces. read more

Paul and the staff here know how to do customer service. I was looking for a specific bolt that no one had in stock. Paul spent several minutes researching to find the right one. When he found it, he encouraged me to order it directly from the manufacturer. I appreciate his time, knowledge, and customer-first attitude. These guys know bolts better than anyone else in SF! read more

So helpful, professional, and genuinely nice. They went out of their way to call other stores and make sure no one else had what I needed in stock before they sold me an alternative. Tons in stock at high quantities. Will go here for all my fastener needs! read more

These guys are great! Needed some non-traditional pieces and they couldn't have been more helpful thinking through what I needed & giving me advice. I really appreciated their help. read more

Knowledgeable people. They know about the types of hardware and tools lots of other shops don't.

These guys are super friendly and helpful and ridiculously patient even for the non-industry professional. I had to jet out of there in a hurry today without even letting them finish helping me get the information I needed, and they later called me with a detailed analysis of what I needed and how to obtain it even when it wasn't from their shop. I was super impressed by this. read more

If you need it they got it. Most hardware stores only carry items for construction or home projects. If you're a tinkers, machinist, at home mechanic or diy'er this place will have the fastener or tool that you need locally vs having to order on line. Thus the reason they are pretty busy. I recommend calling them to do check on the quantity they have on stock and putting it aside for will call. Parking can suck but hey you're in the "city". read more

Thanks so much for the help today! Great staff & owner. Saved my day with a quick tool replacement we needed!

This place has the bolts, fastener for concrete,wood ,metal. This place has saved me from time to time . So if your looking for that bolt Or metal self tapping screw or concrete bolts/anchor check this spot out read more

Great resource. Always helpful. And pleasant. And a San Francisco tradition. Couldn't recommend more highly

Excellent service and an array of tools and gadgets to drool over. Yes, you should wear a hard hat when you enter and know what you want and what it is called, but they are friendly and service-oriented. They did not have the bolt I wanted but tried hard to find it. read more

I only wish I found this place sooner! I own a vintage furniture store and have often found myself driving to every hardware store in the city to find odd and unusual furniture hardware pieces (thanks Skandinavia!) or random pieces to fix our aging security gate, but never again! These guys were so helpful today, really knew their stuff, and had the pieces that I needed in stock that two other big hardware stores didnt have. Shout out to Discount Builders for sending me the way of Harrison and Bonini! I want to sing their praises from the rooftops! read more

Great place for specialty hardware. In my 15+ years of building cars they have never failed to provide me the correct hardware for whatever the project be. Go in the morning to avoid the crazy downtown traffic read more

You MIGHT have to wait in line due to the lack of staff at the desk. But we guarantee you will find what you need. Highly recommended!

It's a hidden treasure for construction companies local to the area. Not to much on the 1-2 peice thing. But they are a big distributor and have a $15 minimum order unless you pay cash. They have tons of bolts, nuts etc. As far as my experience i was working on a prototype and they were very helpful and knew everything. Sometime the counter is really busy but they seem to be a lot faster than a few years ago. I would send anyone there. Def not your average hardware store. One of a kind with a nice old school industrial feeling. Oh there website is helpful also with data etc. www.hbbolt.com read more
