A hidden gem for fair pricing, patient service, and knowledgeable key cutting!…read more After searching around Ventura County for someone I could trust, I visited Franklin's Ace Hardware at 7838 Telegraph Road in Ventura to have two customer-supplied aftermarket key blanks cut for my 2011 Toyota RAV4 Sport V6. Jerry and another helpful gentleman were honest from the beginning that outside blanks can sometimes be difficult to duplicate and that a perfect result could not be guaranteed. I appreciated their transparency. Rather than immediately cutting both keys, we carefully experimented with the first blank and tested it. Once we confirmed that it worked, I decided to have the second one cut as an additional emergency backup. The second key needed some extra adjustment, but Jerry remained patient and worked on it until it functioned properly. He was kind, careful, knowledgeable, and never made me feel rushed. Both employees provided the type of sincere, hands-on customer service that can be difficult to find. My particular key-cutting service was only $7.99. Franklin's has different pricing tiers depending on the key and the work involved, so not every key will necessarily cost the same. However, their pricing was extremely reasonable compared with the $70-$75 quotes I received from other mobile and storefront key duplicators merely to cut a blank that I already owned. I understand that programmed transponder keys, remotes, and specialized automotive services can cost significantly more. For someone who needs a basic mechanical backup key for emergency access, however, Franklin's Ace provided an honest, sensible, and affordable solution. A spare key may seem like a small thing until someone is locked out of a vehicle. I am very grateful to Jerry and his colleague for taking my concerns seriously and helping me leave with two useful backup keys. I highly recommend this Franklin's Ace Hardware location to customers in Ventura, Oxnard, Port Hueneme, and the Naval Base Ventura County area who are looking for friendly, knowledgeable, and fairly priced key-cutting assistance. This store is a true hidden gem, and the staff genuinely lives up to the Ace Hardware promise of being "The Helpful Place."

I just can't say enough about this place, I continually come back to make a review and see that I…read morejust did one ‍ Reason being is, every time, and I MEAN, 100% of the time problems arise, at my house, I am quick to tell my husband "let's go to Ace Hardware first!!!" he's always wanting to go to straight to Lowe's or Home Depot, claiming there's no way Ace Hardware has "this piece". I always say, "let's go to first and rule them out, [as if that's the case, but it never is, as they always have what we need], & if they don't have it, we can go to the bigger places, but Ace NEVER DISAPPOINTS‼ I say that with great certainty. One time it was a vacuum cleaner belt, (I mean, seriously, this was a longshot, but there it was), another, was a certain paint, this time it was a hot water hose for my washing machine and the Good Lord knows, a mom cannot go without her washing machine for long I mean, the list goes on and on. They even had a variety of lengths. My husband was quick to say, "I knew they wouldn't have the right length...", and THERE it was!!! We also had to get a fixture, for the hose and the employee would not let us leave without testing at first on his own products. The variety is unmatched. I cannot tell you how many times I've been able to just run next-door to my neighbor, Franklin's Ace Hardware, and get what I need. No travel needed. The prices are unbelievable, I always figure they're going to be a little bit more because it's a smaller business, but that is just NOT THE CASE. I am more pleased, every time I'm there. So to break it down, no travel and no wallet, busting. Please neighbors, let's keep this place in business as they are game changers and NEVER let me down Recap; *in the neighborhood, *inventory and variety; unmatched, *employees; knowledgeable, and most importantly, *prices; wallet, friendly!!! Lets go Franklin's Ace Hardware‼

It was Labor Day weekend, we are 200 miles from home and my child's braces broke while eating…read morelunch. We tried everything but we could not get the wire out. Called her orthodontist and she said to go to a hardware store and purchase a pair of wire cutters. Sanitize them really well and then we should be able to cut them for her to go about her holiday weekend without wire poking holes in her gums. With the help of Yelp, we were able to locate a True Value Hardware a few minutes drive from where we were dining. Upon entering the store, we were immediately greeted and he asked us what we were looking for. We explained our situation and he walked us to the area where there was a wall of wire cutters. Unfortunately, we could not find one that would be able to cut through the wire but he and another gentleman did everything they could to help us find a solution to help my little one. We left empty handed but really appreciated the help and time the team here dedicated to helping us. We really appreciated it. Thankfully, later that evening and several long hours later, we were able to get the wire out without the need of tools.
