Never realized how very important something as simple as a neighborhood hardware store could be. Anthony was honest, kind, and if he couldn't get something for you on the spot, he would have it for you usually within 24 hours. read more

Best selection of anything you need for home very friendly staff. Great prices hard to find items are found here can't beat the selection

Always excellent but they are closed now due to death of owner I don't know what I will do now? Maybe someone will buy the store continue the fine service they always provided ? God rest Anthony's soul a real nice man! read more

I needed a key made and was looking for a hardware store around 24th and Snyder Ave. I hit my search and Boom, Ritner Hardware was right around the corner. Even though Google said they were closed, I gave it a shot and called. Surprising, they were open which evidently is not usual on that day. The guy said come right around. While waiting I noticed this dude has everything you could possibly need?! I'd already went two three large chain stores who didn't have my key in stock. Total waste of time. Anyway, within 5 minutes I had three copies of my key at a great price and was on my way. Now that's what I call service. Thanks. read more

If They don't have it no one does!! Very helpful. Mom and pop shop. They have a large selection of items in a small store. read more

Always knowledgeable staff is always there to help with your project. And they always have the right hardware for whatever your needs!

Always helpful and always has almost anything you need. One of the last neighborhood hardware stores in South Philly. I hope it stays forever! read more

Forget the chain hardware stores, Ritner Hardware Store is where it's at. After Lowes failed twice at duplicating our house key, my wife and I thought, collectively, "Oh, why don't we go to that nice hardware store around the corner." We went there, told our story, and asked if they could make a copy of our key. The nice old man behind the counter smiled a toothy grin and said, "No problem, young whippersnapper! Is there anything else I can do for you today?" Since that day we always head to Ritner Hardware Store first for all of our hardware needs. read more

Never again!! I remember my daddy taking me to this store as a child..they always had exactly what he was looking for ..went back a few times in the past 2 years and the prices are great.. Called a few mins ago to ask about keys... And the man was so ignorant and rude.... I had already stopped at 2 locksmiths today and both were closed..figured I'll call first to be sure they could copy the keys I needed.. I told him one was for a safe & the other a cabinet he cut me off mid sentence "don't matter...don't matter" then He said he has to see the keys ( which is understandable) I was trying to ask if he could copy keys that were not house keys and he hung up on me.. I'll be taking my business anywhere but here from now on read more

Ritner Hardware might be my favorite local business in South Philadelphia. For a long time I was conditioned to go to Home Depot or Lowe's for my hardware needs, but they kept coming up short. Then I remembered about a little place my great-grandfather used to take me when I was a kid. I walked in and, considering the small size of the place, thought the chances were not very good that they would have anything I needed. I asked one of the friendly employees (proprietors?) and he went into the back and quickly came out with what I needed. Again and again, I went in doubtful and came out surprised! Apparently they have a magic portal to a huge warehouse in the back, because they have everything. And, although I've never encountered the issue, I was assured that if they didn't have something I wanted, they'd order it! The prices are very reasonable, especially considering their David-like stature in comparison to their Goliath competitors. The staff is very friendly and you can tell that they genuinely care that you leave satisfied. Next time you get the Mr. (or Mrs.) Fix-it urge, support a small business that's been in the neighborhood for years, and teach the giant-mega-monster-sized hardware stores and their apathetic and uninformed employees a lesson. In fact, next time you need anything at all, try a small local business before heading to Mega-Chain-Mart, Inc. You WILL be pleasantly surprised. My experiences with Ritner Hardware Store have changed the way I shop, for good. read more

I needed another house key, so I was told to go to Ritner Hardware. It's perfect because it's super close to the house and they make old keys (the door is 100 years old). I was shocked to see how small the place was but was told that there's a warehouse in the back. Everyone was so nice and the price was fair, actually, super cheap. read more

I haven't been here since I moved, but when I was fixing up my place around the corner I was here every Saturday and they always helped me out. Like a lot of family hardware stores, they love helping you problem-solve and they are really well-stocked for such a tiny place. read more

This store is a neighborhood gem. The owner is knowledgeable, helpful and very courteous. After much frustration that neither Home Depot or Lowe's had the extra-thick screen spline I needed, I thought of Ritner Hardware. Not only did they have the product I needed, I could purchase the exact amount that I needed. Next time, I'll have to start my shopping here. read more

Located in my neighborhood shopping area this place is a godsend! If you need it they are very likely to have it. Dont ask me WHERE they keep it all - my husband thinks they are bend time and space to accomodate their inventory. No need to ever go to Home DESPOT. Wether you need keys made, locks replaced, fuses for you dryer, a new recyle bin, mop, chicken wire, shelf liner paper, napkin holder, lightbulb, rat traps, roach spray.....blender, pizzelle maker, butter dish, 3/4 inch drywall screws, ladders, or one of those things that "eats" the fuzz off your sweater- THEY HAVE IT! Very nice guys too! read more

This is the best for almost anything you need for your house repair. Home depot and Lowes has come short many times and this store came up with the products. read more

This is the best hardware store in Philadelphia. They have a surprisingly large selection of merchandise in the backroom, which apparently violates the laws of space, because the entire store is about 1/1000th the size of Lowe's or Home Depot, and yet has almost anything you could get at one of those giant chain stores. The guys are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. (Actually, the one guy is super friendly and amiable and the other guy, who I think is his dad, is a bit curmudgeonly. He looks to be in his 70s, so I'll cut him some slack. The contrast is actually kind of charming. The whole thing could be a sitcom.) read more

Had parts for my storm door that home depot did not have good store.

Love my neighborhood hardware store and plan on doing business with them for a long time!

Great place! Owners extremely knowlegeable, helpful & friendly. Great inventory for such a limited space. This is the place to start for any small job & if you need advice. Anthony & Pops are the best! read more

Tony and his dad are great. Good place to get little things that you can't think of ( it looks like a small place but there is a lot in the store). Keys cut quickly, makes any screen you need, and repairs windows read more
