It's not always the cheapest option (if you're just looking for cleaning supplies check out Safeway) but it is comprehensive. Personally, I have always found their staff to be attentive and willing to answer my questions and tell me which products are quality for my budget. I've used their key copy service probably 3-4 times and I love that they sell the scrunchies and the colored key caps because my apartment building has so many keys for different things and I can color code them.

I would like to thank Larry at Cole Hardware from the bottom of my heart. He spent over 30 minutes…read morehelping me with a very stressful car key issue and, in the process, saved me close to $700. I had gone to several places for help with a small screw issue, and no one was able--or willing--to help. The Honda dealer told me it would cost $700 to fix and made me feel as though I had done something wrong. I was in tears. Larry was the complete opposite. From the moment he helped me, he was patient, kind, and never once made me feel embarrassed or at fault. Larry calmly tried different tools and methods, taking his time and showing genuine care. Other places warned me the key would likely break. Larry fixed it perfectly without breaking anything. His kindness truly meant more to me than I can express. Larry went out of his way to make sure the problem was resolved. Experiences like this are rare, and I am incredibly grateful. Thank you, Larry, for your compassion, patience, and incredible help. Cole Hardware is lucky to have you.

I had dozens of boxes, and no box cutter! My poodle and I traipsed down the hill to this delightful store. There are so many things to love about Cole Hardware - it's kind of like a Hallmark store meets Ace Hardware. I've had keys copied here AND I've bought a SF-themed deck of cards. I've bought cookie sheets AND light bulbs. I've bought Christmas lights AND cute dishtowels. The customer service here is fantastic, the people who work here are kind, you can ask questions via text, and they give back to the community in both vibes and with give-back programs to support local. Why would you shop anywhere else?
