I don't remember his name but he was really helpful. I showed him the parts I needed and he came through. He walked me to the areas I needed and pulled the items off the shelf for me. Everything fit perfectly. I bought the parts I needed online. Everything was wrong. This is why we need a physical store with actual employees that know what they're doing. Not only were the parts wrong they were double the cost. I spent $12 for my parts at mission. Versus $25 online. At the end at check our guess what??? They had WORLDS FINEST CHOCOLATE. Yes the ones that they sell at school fundraisers. Omgggg so the off time that you can't get your fix, you can come here!!! I bought 6 bars

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!

I get the impression the workers like working here because they are helpful and friendly and don't seem worn down. It's funny but as you go to the cashier lines, there are some unusual offerings such as sarsaparilla from Kentucky, and old fashioned hard candies.

I easily spend several hundreds of dollars here buying my chisels and other carving hand tools. It's cool that the worker remembers who I am (excellent service). The owner himself takes the time to show me the various chisels that they have and you can tell just by listening to him talk the pride he has for the tools that he carries.

COVID UPDATE for Anzen Hardware. Nori-san is fine, and the…read morestore is open for usual hours of operation. This update is just a reminder that small local businesses are still open. In addition to vegetable seeds and garden supply, there are plenty of home and kitchen tools that you'll use every day of your quarantine isolation. SERVICE Nori-San has always been very helpful with any purchases you might need to make. Now that the store attendance is limited, no doubt you'll receive even more bespoke assistance. STORE ATTENDANCE There is only one person/party allowed in the store at a time. If you're familiar with this small family-owned hardware store, you'll know that there isn't much room for too many people anyway. For precautions of health, just one at a time in the store. If you know what you need, the trip to Anzen is really quick. If you DON'T know what you need, the trip to Anzen can be really easy. I make a regular trip to get professional kitchen knives from Nori-San, and he's always very knowledgable and helpful in the decision. SILLY GIFT PURCHASE: Even if you want a simple silly, but useful kitchen gift for your friends, you will probably find something here.

This water heater produces Hot Water very amazingly quick!!! This water heater gets 5 Stars. Here's the -1Star part of this review I contacted the Home Depot installation company they wanted $1100 plus $192 for a permit. I don't need NO DAMN Permit their contractor's is a freaking damn ripoff. Do they think I have a Money Tree that I can put off $1100 for Labor? They can go take a F-ing jump into a bottomless hole.

We stopped by later in the evening and the store wasn't busy at all, which I really appreciated because it made the whole experience feel calm and easy to navigate. While my boyfriend was debating between a few different options, I wandered around the nearby aisles and the checkout area. They definitely know how to tempt shoppers over there! I spotted some really cool table lamps on display and they also had a nice selection of house plants that caught my eye. The employees we encountered were also friendly, which made the visit feel welcoming even though we were just browsing for the most part. Even though I didn't end up buying anything this time, I was definitely tempted. Next time I come back I'd love to take some time to explore the garden section too. Between the decor, plants, and garden area, I can easily see myself returning to browse and maybe bring a few things home.
