The staff wears masks, is friendly and offers help in a non pushy way. There is a plexiglass shield and hand sanitizer at the cash register, the same place they cut keys. I am constantly surprised at the vast array of products they manage to stock. Check it out ! Love this mom & pop style hardware shop adding to the charm on Main St at the Manchester road race starting line. This place is significantly larger than it appears from the front with parking and entrances on main st. and out back. The selection of products is far more than I've expected and ranges from paint to key cutting to lawn care tsalt to any kind of hardware you need. I always hit this place up when I can and can usually avoid home depot and Lowe's. Prices are very comparable too. Love supporting a local business when I can. :)

Rocky's Ace Hardware in Vernon, Connecticut Stinks. This store really STINKS…read more I visited this store on Th-9-12-24, because I wanted a specific product. Their website said it could be ordered online, but then would not accept the order. The website specifically said that the product was in stock in the Vernon store. The product was not in stock. I asked to have the product ordered for me. I was informed me that the minimum quantity for an order was 48 items. I was not allowed to purchase a smaller amount. I asked if quantity for the store could be ordered and then put on the shelves so customers could purchase them. I was told they could not do that either. They have the product in their warehouse, they have a store, they advertise the product on their website, they say it's available at the store. It is not available at the store. AND they refuse to make it available. Why do they offer products for sale and then make it impossible for customers to buy them? Why do the Ace commercials claim prompt, courteous service, when I certainly did not get anything of the sort. And why do they expect customers to enjoy being treated this way? Do they really think they're going to prosper and profit by offering products for sale and then refusing to make the transactions? And then they tell me there's nothing they can do about it, that's just the way it is, but actually, IT'S THE WAY THEY MADE IT. I will, as much as possible, avoid this establishment in the future. Rocky's Ace Hardware in Vernon, Connecticut Stinks. That store really STINKS.

I choose Home Depot over Loews and other stores because of the customer service I can get here…read more The selection comes a distant second, even though that's incredibly important too. My latest experience was to purchase both a ballast and T12 lightbulbs. I'm not afraid to ask for help and say I don't know something. I didn't even have to wait, someone came over and offered to help me. He told me where I could find ballasts and even said they are giving them away. He tried to first find me something on clearance as he wanted to save me money. When the one I was looking for was not there in clearance, he me the right one, which was about $18. I was looking for LED lights, but he convinced me that this might not be a good fit, today, because they were new and have not come down in price. This light is at the bottom of my stairs and won't be used often so I'll give it a few more months before I address LED lights again. What he gave me was the ability to get my bottom of the stairs lights back, not just a product. Home Depot does it well and that's why this is my home store for hardware.

HOWEVER... delivery was scheduled... the driver called at 11:45 to tell us they would be there in 20 minutes. At 12:00 I received a text stating "they could not complete our delivery" and someone would call to reschedule. WHAT?? Well apparently, due to a storm, there was a tree down on a street in our neighborhood (not ours) and the drivers chose not to detour the ONE MINUTE it would have taken them to go around the block. They just called 15 minutes earlier... they couldn't call me back??? I immediately called the delivery number they gave me and was told the drivers could NOT turn around, and the next delivery date was several days out. I went above and beyond to prepare for this delivery... even putting the old refrigerator right by the door for them. The drivers must be in the business of losing money for the company... after this debacle we immediately cancelled the order and purchased elsewhere.

After searching around the big box stores, I stumbled upon Grossman's. In one day, I picked up all my kitchen cabinets, countertops, bathroom vanities, and other items such as sink faucets for under $3,000. Grossman's specializes in close outs and has a little less selection than the big box stores, but still has tons to offer. They have flooring, doors, windows, bathroom vanities, tubs, toilets, kitchen cabinets, countertops, and a ton more. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and will help you with any questions you may have. One of my cabinets arrived with a scratch, and the manager quickly ordered a replacement for me and gave me his store email so I could contact him as needed for my cabinet install. Overall great quality store and friendly staff that are willing to help. Check it out if you're tired of the big box selection.
