I called to try to get a replacement plastic shell case for my car's key fob, and they didn't have the item in their catalogue, but they still gave me all the important information of how I could order if from a different vendor -- Rustin was so helpful! Just want to share some gratitude for a great store that helped me solve a big problem. Will be coming in to get all my in person hardware needs! read more

Ah, Studio City Ace Hardware. The small and expensive little hardware store that is there for you on Sundays. Parking is limited and prices are high, but they are open on Sundays and they are much easier than dealing with Home Depot. If there's something that you need, and you don't want to purchase it on Amazon because you want to feel and see and measure it, this is a nice little shop. I don't come here often because of the prices and the parking, but it's nice to know that Ace in Studio City is there when I need it. They have really good staying power! They've been here for many years! They must be doing something right. read more

See all

This little shop really has it all. I visit often to have keys cut for properties I manage, but I also find myself here when I need a random repair item. I appreciate the helpfulness that the workers provide. I usually need to be pointed in the right direction of what I'm looking for and they are always eager to help. read more

I'll give you just one example for the most basic tool: 6" adjustable wrench: At this store: $12 Amazon: $7 ($4.70 after discount!) Super expensive store. Best thing is yo go to that store if you're addicted to touch and measure first and get it on Amazon. You will save a bunch of money. read more

Cutting to the chase: one of the best (if not THE best) hardware stores in the city (and I mean Los Angeles, not just Studio City). When my project is not urgent, I actually maintain my list till I drive over the hill from West LA to give them my business -- yeah, they are that good. This is a neighborhood hardware store -- but a really great neighborhood hardware store, the endangered species kind. And the prices are spot on! Sure, you may spend a few cents or dollars more than a big box superstore, but you are getting a ton of value for your money. The staff is incredibly helpful, know where things are, walk you to items, ask about your projects, make helpful suggestions, troubleshoot and offer alternatives. And they are friendly! No attitude here. The selection is incredibly deep, and you'll be surprised when you walk in and see the store is much larger than the outside suggests (like the Tardis -- pardon the "Dr Who" reference). Whether you need a screw, or a hose, ballast, light fixture these guys deserve to be your first stop. Give them your business. Anyone leaving fewer than 4 stars is a hater. read more

Studio City Ace Hardware - You barely get a sense of how deep the selection of inventory this place has. - Hardware Stores Near Me - Studio City, California

Service: Employees very willing to help & very knowledgeable. Selection: Amazing selection as the store itself is not large. Value: I have found Ace hardwares to have competitive prices. So good value read more

It's 9:13 am. They were supposed to open at 8am but the door just opened up. It's a small hardware store, limited parking, people were standing outside with crossed arms. This store is vital it seems to all sorts of folks here locally. Handymen, painters, locals that just need a lightbulb, etc. They pack a lot into a little space. Hope they can do better, maybe employees didn't show up? Seems to be privately owned, there's an older woman that parks on the street and walks in and out later regularly. read more

Studio City Ace Hardware - Outside - Hardware Stores Near Me - Studio City, California

Let me start my review by saying why did this hardware store receive 3 stars on Yelp and not 5?!? I live in an apartment 10 minutes away from Ace Hardware store, so I don't go there that often, but whenever I do, I get an EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE from their employees and the owner. The store is fully stacked, clean, organized, and have everything from A to Z for your home, office, and miscellaneous stuff that comes quite handy and needy. Literally they have everything in the store in the right sections/isles and employees will walk you through everything that you need, looking for and it is right there. Prices are pretty comparable, affordable with other hardware stores. The store is not that small, and it is not that big to navigate and it really gives you the vibe of a cozy, ancient, but not old feeling. :)) LOVE IT!!!! This review has been WAY OVERDUE!! Always wanted to write it and somehow it just wasn't happening. I am glad I finally did!! Will be back if and when I need to purchase more hardware store for my apartment. Even though it is my landlord's job, but sometimes he slacks off and I have to do his job. Always keep up the good work Ace employees!! Consistency is the main ingredient not only at your store, bu in everything!! read more

Been coming to this hardware store for nearly 30 years. Not only is everyone in there helpful and knowledgeable but they literally have everything you need. Is the parking lot small? Yes. But i have been the only car in the lot many time. Plus street parking is a thing. Is it more expensive than Home Depot? Yes, but you're paying for the convenience of not having to go to a Home Depot. PLUS if you live in one of the 40s houses in the area they have things for your house that Home Depot doesn't carry. read more

Since we don't have any other hardware stores in the area, this is our only local option. Prices are much more expensive than Home Depot or Lowe's, but they do have everything we need. They have a very small parking lot in the store is in need of a major overall. Not much in terms of service either.OK, but not worth going out of your way for. read more

Great little local hardware store. When I cannot make it to Home Depot they typically have what I need. Competitive pricing, excellent customer service, store is well stocked and clean. My go-to for making keys, buying spray paint for trash-to-treasure projects, and odds and ends. I've called ahead several times for availability in stock and the staff is always great. Some parking in a small lot for free, look for meters on Ventura Blvd otherwise. read more

This is the best place to Sharp your knife , the service is fast efficient, very friendly and convenient

Great service, friendly staff & for a small location, seems to always have exactly what I need!

Rude store employees, from the attendant to the cashier. Attendant was not helpful and gave me smart remarks such as "you want it or not". Need to better customer service skills! read more

Be cautious when considering purchases from this store due to poor product selections and price comparisons. Exercise caution unless it's an absolute emergency. Additionally, they are challenging to deal with for returns or exchanges. I purchased a lockbox here which failed to open two weeks after I purchased it. And yet, they wouldn't let me return. read more

Studio City Ace Hardware - Hardware Stores Near Me - Studio City, California

Ace Studio City is the place with the helpful hardware folks! After searching high and lo at Home Depot and Lowe's, I finally made it to my local Ace hardware store and was able to get all the parts I needed for my pre-summer project. Not only were did they have my products available, they also had a special going on, so the price was at a discount! Head here first for your hardware needs! read more

I was looking for a Dremel accessory set, and this was the nearest Ace I mapped to my new place. I was expecting an Ace similar to the one I loved in South Pasadena. This was labeled as an Ace but looked more like a small, mom-and-pop shop... no big deal but just not what I was expecting. There is a very small lot with space for maybe 5 cars, and difficult to get in/out when other cars are coming and going. The layout is really weird and the selection wasn't impressive. I came here because Ace usually has more rotary tool stuff than Home Depot, but here, there was only one,overpriced basic set. I asked the woman in the Customer Service booth where to find it. She had a face mask hanging under her chin, and didn't bother putting it on when she apathetically handed the set to me. When I checked out, another cashier (besides the one checking me out) stepped in front of my window to help another customer, and dropped a huge binder over my item to try to look up an item. I couldn't reach through the clear partition to grab it and I had to wait for her to move so that I could take my purchase, sign the card receipt, and leave. She didn't acknowledge me or say "excuse me" either, as if I were invisible. It's worth it to drive further or even give your money to a bigger corporate devil hardware store than to go here. read more

worst hardware store I've ever been to in my life. Horrible selection, horrible customer service. If you can go anywhere else, I highly recommend it. read more

BEWARE- If you are a woman; especially a woman of color - DO NOT GO INTO THIS STORE. Unbeknownst to me I entered the store five minutes before closing, as did several other people behind me. The difference was I was berated by an employee named Max who yelled at me that they were closing in five minutes. I said well can I look around? And he turned his back to me. So my daughter and I split up to look for the items we came to get. A short Latino man walked behind my young daughter and repeatedly asked her if she needed help. I quickly scanned the aisles and did not find the item I was looking for. My daughter did find her item. Max then appears out of nowhere to inform us that there is no cash and they've closed the registers. Odd. He did this while helping other people patiently. I was so frazzled and overwhelmed that I just could not make a purchase at this Ace? Hardware. read more

There's something to be said about neighborhood businesses that have been in existence in their original location for well over 60 years... Given the architecture and location at this particular hardware store - my guess is that it opened somewhere in the 1950s, and somehow managed to continue to be a mainstay in Studio City. Besides the nostalgic kick of shopping at a place that I remember going to with my father when I was five years old... what's truly amazing is how fully stocked and convenient this hardware store manages to always be. I can't remember a single time I walked in needing something very specific - a miniature lightbulb, a rare battery, a specific cleaning agent, a certain kind of glue or hardware - and left not having in hand what I'd come in for. They also have one of the best key replication stations in existence - any kind of key, and you can get it done usually within five minutes... And it cost about half of what Angel City Locksmith down the street will charge! Another fun benefit given it's location is that on any given Saturday you might well run into one or two celebrities who live in the area, baseball caps pulled low over their eyes, clearly working hard to "blend in". So that always makes it a bit more fun! Pricing is more expensive than what you would pay most likely in a Home Depot, given the fact that rare brands are far more conveniently found, and of course the location - which at this point is a very pricey one. The major drawback continues to be the parking: they have a parking lot that basically allows for six cars at a time - hardly enough for the flow of customers... So sometimes you will end up circling the block for parking several rounds. But if you're in the area, and you do need to pick up anything from household cleaning supplies to lightbulbs to specialty products for a certain home improvement project you're in the middle of... This is absolutely a joy to shop at. ... and... you might just get those 1950s vibes that make you feel you've stepped into Doc Brown's time machine :) Must Go. read more

My son had a project for school that required a jig saw (5th grade, stay with me ). I searched a few hardwares spots that carried several variations of saws but the prices were more than I was willing to spend. I came across this small hardware store in Studio City. I immediately noticed the small parking lot that had a line. After finding a space on the street I arrived to the store. The place felt small and jammed but there were so many products for almost anything you needed. I found the jig saw at a reasonable price but of coarse my son chose the most expensive one....I put it back and bought another that worked just fine. If you're in the area or looking for a hardware store with decent prices, Studio Ace is a nice spot to consider. read more

It's a dog friendly store and the Latina girl working at check out is so nice. Really appreciate how polite the employees are in this store.

Great service, friendly staff eager to help you find what you need, but a little small and confined for an Ace Hardware. Parking lot is a pretty small too so I usually just find some metered street parking close by. read more

I wanted to say the customer service I received from Peter was Five Stars Excellent !! He was helpful ar showing where the item I was looking for was located, He always had a smile on his face when he was helping me, and he did a Great job at helping me make choices on the itemI wanted to purchase !! read more

I love hardware stores with a small-town feel. It's nothing like the giant mega-hardware stores that make you feel overwhelmed as soon as you walk in. This place is fully stocked - from the floor to the ceiling - and it will probably have what you need, but you'll need to find it first. That isn't difficult though, because the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I came for a garage door opener. I was helped immediately upon entering and the young man that showed me the variety of openers they had was knowledgable and also carefully explained the return policy and even how to set it up! I was in and out in 10 minutes! MUCH more pleasant than the mega-hardware stores. Parking in their tiny lot is not advisable - it fills up fast with larger trucks and is tough to navigate. Try to find street parking instead. read more

I find this hardware store to be conveniently located and the personnel to be helpful and courteous if not always particularly knowledgeable. read more

Terrible service, not helpful, staff does not reach out and ignores customers waiting for help and if they help give vague directions.

FYI they won't accept returns if it wasn't bought from their Ace. Doesn't make any sense to have a policy like that when Ace Is a chain store. read more

Your friendly neighborhood hardware store. Just be warned, you may end up at Home Depot anyways... I really like this shop. It has almost everything you might be looking for (more on this later), and it's closer to my house than a Home Depot, or Lowe's. So usually, if I'm looking for some hardware this is my first stop. They re very helpful, and it's nice to be able to make a quick stop to the hardware store. However, there selection is somewhat limited. They don't have appliances, and they may not carry the specific tool, or the brand that you might be looking for. Also, there selection of individual items is also somewhat limited. Don't like the one particular door knob that they have? Well too bad, because that might be the only one they carry. Some other things you should know: there's only one register, so depending on how many other customers there are in the store, you may have to wait to check out. Also, the aisles are very narrow, they've crammed as much as they can into the space, so (and this is not an exaggeration) if someone else is in an aisle, you may not be able to get through. There is a side parking lot off of Ventura, but fair warning, it is very small and you may have to end up parking on Ventura anyway. But it's nice that it's there. So, like I said. I really like this little shop. It's close to my house, and they usually have everything that I need. However, there selection is limited by the size of their location so there have been times that I've just had to go to Home Depot to get what I need. read more

Do not go here! No one is trained & no one gives a crap. I needed a heavy duty extension cord for a microwave. The first guy handed me a light duty cord for Fans & I said I don't think this is right & he replied it wasn't his section. Another guy came by & wasn't helpful either & then literally turned his back & walked away. I read each of the tags & found one that mentioned heavy duty appliances & specified microwaves, refrigerators, etc., for 20 amps like Google research suggested. The cord was plugged into itself. I got home & saw a plug I've never seen before--it doesn't plug into my wall!! I'm eating cold food right now :( Guess I need to drive the extra time/mileage to Home Depot read more

Studio City Ace Hardware - Never seen these kinds of prongs in my life & won't plug into the wall?! - Hardware Stores Near Me - Studio City, California

WARNING!!!! During the pandemic, ace hardware studio city employees were allowing a belligerent customer to not wear a mask OR social distance. I simply asked the woman without the mask to step back while I was at the register and she was 2 inches behind me-she then proceeded to swear at me and attacked me verbally. The employee with the long black hair, a young woman, refused to intervene. I asked her to kick the customer without the mask out and asked for the Manager. An older lady said she was the Manager-she also did nothing. Literally. Walked out, got in car. Asked a young male employee in parking lot for name of owner of this franchise-didn't care whatsoever. Told me he was gonna call the police on ME for being pissed and saying I would report this store to Corporate. SHAME ON YOU WEAK FOLKS who can't even open your mouthes and say something. Wrong move. read more

Small but has a lot and it's on Ventura so can be convenient when on a job. Folks who work here are nice and helpful.

We are new to the neighborhood and we're excited to have an Ace near by, but the experience was very mediocre. The place is very small, the supply is nothing impressive, the didn't have any kind of hazdsanizier for costumers and they don't clean the baskets!!! Also the ladies at the check out were rude, zero interested in the customer. Not coming back! read more

The staff are friendly and helpful. For a small hardware store they usually have a good selection. There are a limited number of free parking spaces. read more

What I like that's in my neighbourhood and it's not huge and overwhelming instead it's just big enough to carry what I need. The staff always answer questions and willing to help. read more

What kind of hardware store closes at 5pm? Most people don't get off work until 5pm so I guess you're not really interested in my business!

Dishonest, rude service and does not honor Ace store coupons. Beware this store does not honor Ace store coupons. The manager Pam was extremely rude and offered no explanation, other than they do not accept coupons. The Encino store, which is less than a couple of miles away is much better and has more inventory as well. read more
