You know that smell of mothballs and dust and old tools and wood shavings in your grandfather's…read moregarage? It's a strangely comforting sort of smell. That's what VanHook smells like when you walk in the door. VanHook is definitely the local hardware store. Located in a long and narrow downtown building, the store has a variety of hardware ranging from screws and bolts to paint and barn gadgets. Older men in suspenders are available to assist you, and there's something interesting to find in every aisle. Sure, it's kind of unattractive, cramped, and din, but it works. You'll find what you need here. Need keys cut for your RV? No problem here. We even brought in a paint can from Lowe's and they were able to skillfully color match the paint. WIN. This place may not be as big or have as many options as Home Depot or another national chain, but it's local and they have heart. Support them. Give VanHook a shot before heading to a big box store. Oh, and on your way out, lift up the latch a bit on the door to open it.

I needed a key copied for my truck and Lowe's and Home Depot in Lexington were giving me a hassle,…read morewouldn't copy it, etc. The friendly folks at D&S Hardware did a great job copying the key, were super friendly in the way that businesses were decades ago but aren't anymore, and the cost of the key copying was so low that I wanted to leave a tip! I should move from Lexington to Winchester so I can live where stores offer this kind of value and service. The store is conveniently located on Main Street but seemed to have more stuff than the Lowe's superstore near me (where their inventory is a hopelessly disorganized mess). D&S Hardware is well stocked in the way hardware stores were before the big box retailers took over. I love D&S Hardware... not just the large variety of merchandise, friendly and knowledgeable staff and great value. I love the customer oriented attitude they convey and the entire experience of shopping there.

I was having trouble mounting a TV on the wall. The included screws in the bracket box did not…read morework out at all. So I headed for a *real* hardware store, NOT a big box home improvement store. Why? Because you get one on one help even when its with the littlest of things such as the needing the right screws. This is important to me especially when I'm in a hurry. Chevy Chase came through for me. There is plenty of off street parking in the back plus a back door for customers. The inside of the store seems huge but its hard to tell since the aisles are narrow and it looks like its two buildings put together inside. The rows of aisles is endless it seems. I got there just before closing and did not have time to browse the whole store. Staff was super friendly and extra helpful. I highly recommend this store for your home maintenance needs.

They assured me it was the exact match/product. Got home,realized it was not the same type of stain (oil vs acrylic). Color was promised to be the same rich brown. Color was the color of wet cement. In no way was this product comparable as promised. Eads refused to refund the $150 because of their error. I then asked for store credit and was declined. This in no way was my fault and good customer service should have been provided. They were my go-store for all my needs as well as my friend who owns his own business. Not anymore. Too bad the the store doesn't support the community that gives them their business.

This True Value Hardware is located in the heart of downtown Winchester on the corner of Main and…read moreBroadway since 1980 in its current location. They sell anything and everything. Paint, nails, cookware, cleaning supplies, tools, keys, and many odd and end items. The guys that work here are great. They strive to assist people any way they can and do it with a huge smile. They also still wear the old school True Value Aprons like they did back in the old days. Entering this specific store is like you went back into time when things were more simpler. I love it. They write everything down on a carbon copy receipt and tally it all up on a hand calculator. This kind of store don't seem to exist any more. This service and nostalgia is why I gave them a 5 star review. These men deserve it. Just stop in and see for yourself.

They carry anything you could possibly want for your property. Tools, accessories, vehicles, fertilizer and even yard decorations. They offer top quality clothing for men and women. Staples foods and unique snacks. You can even purchase chickens, ducks and rabbits there. There are aisles of products you cannot find anywhere else and all for very reasonable prices. I specified the Georgetown location because I prefer it over the Winchester store. It seems cleaner, its lighting is brighter and I have never been in the Georgetown store and not had excellent customer service. As farm supply stores go I think this store is top notch. Check them out!

Three things you should know:…read more 1) We recently purchased and renovated a fifth wheel trailer (RV) that consistently needs work now and then. 2) We just moved from the Chicago 'burbs to the Kentucky countryside. Completely different lifestyle. 3) We are in the process of planning for a new house build next year. That said, we come here a lot. Lowe's is also the only home improvement store (I think) in Bourbon/Harrison/Scott county so our options are limited. Lowe's is where it's at for screws, tools, and wood. I mean that in a non-sexual way.... Anyway. Aside from always needing two people to assist you with your questions and slightly high prices, I've got no issues with this place. That's a good thing because my only other choice is to drive out to a hardware store in Lexington. Whew. Thanks, Lowe's.
