The workers here are always approachable, friendly, and genuinely helpful. They'll give you good advice, offer their honest opinions, and even help you figure out ways to save money depending on the project you're tackling. Always a great experience and definitely one of those places I can rely on!

Ever since moving to San Gabriel over 30 years ago, this has been my hardware store for home…read moremaintenance. They always have what I need and now it's plumbing. The shower is leaking and the lawn needs watering, so I jumped into the car to get what I need. Although this is an Ace store, coupons are site specific and are not shared among the hardware stores. Oh well, I'll need to be more careful reading that fine print, but got what I needed and not wasting time looking for the right hardware. Although not the cheapest, it is the most convenient to my home, so I'll be shopping here for a little longer...

I've found this place to have items that Home Depot and Lowe's don't carry. For that reason I…read morewould recommend this place if you can't find something in main stream stores.

Great service, low prices, excellent hardware selection…read more The staff at Altadena Hardware are friendly, helpful, and much more knowledgeable than big box stores. They will ask you about the project you're doing, and help find the right products and materials to fit the application of your work. Need to attach something to something else? They will guide you through the a-la-carte screws, nails, nuts, and bolts with expertness, making sure that the style, strength, and size of the hardware fits your project's needs. The prices for most items are competitive with big box stores-- items like PVC pipe, wood filler, and hardware are cheaper at Altadena Hardware in a side-by-side comparison to big box stores. If you purchase materials like wood or pipe, they can cut it for you for transport! The selection of paint, hardware, garden supplies, light bulbs, power tools, adhesives, and most other typical household hardware needs are excellent. Based on size, they don't stock as much lumber or appliances as big box stores. Very helpful -- they do cartridge exchange for Soda Stream!! And have many options of Soda Stream flavorings. They also sell local honey up at the cash register! Altadena Hardware is my first choice for hardware needs!

Went to duplicate keys and apparently they have maybe 2 machines and another one where they have…read moremore designs which was too late cause we already duplicated it. They have halloween decorations out and even lots of citrus trees so you can plant your own. Probably not for me since they will end up dead. This home depot has lots of parking and it was pretty busy as well. They have 2 different types of cash registers. 1 is self check out for the smaller items and the other has humans helping if you are buying the big items like dry wood and stuff. Oh and they have stitch. Hes so cute

Wonderful experience here today. All of my complaints from my local HD are non-issues here!…read more Upon entering the store I was greeted by not 1, but two staff! I told them what I was looking for and Andrew escorted me to where the appliance extension cord is, also helping me decide what size to get. He was so kind and was really needed bc 30 min earlier I left another HD in tears due to an aggressive parking lot incident. Speaking of parking lots -- a dream compared to my local HD! Plenty of parking, clear paths of travel, no vendor cars clogging curbs and sight lines. What a relief, esp when you're just going to get a cord! Their Gardening section was also much easier to shop. Well merchandised and lots of signage that explained how to do things or what to buy to achieve the result (loved learning more about fencing and panel options). This same support was also noticed in Lighting and appreciated the demo area of various light dimmer switches! This will be my new HD and love how it's near Aldi and many other shopping complexes for daily life. Convenient!

Home Deopt seems to be taking rhe WalMart approach: sell cheap crap, piss off your customers, but sit back and do nothing because you know you're size has put all the competition out of business. Well guess what? Ace Hardware is doing fine in South Pasadena, and that's where I'll be going from now on. Let your cheap merchandise fall apart on your own shelves.
