Bronze weather stripping
Michael M.

I could not be happier with my purchase of bronze spring weatherstripping from Killian. The delivery was faster than a cheeta! Great service... wonderful online ordering.

A step back in time. This store can be a movie set for the small town charming hardware store that has a bit of everything. Kilian Hardware store is stuffed with all sorts of the stuff you would expect to find in this kind of a hardware store plus a bunch of stuff you did not know you needed. The store is a bit crowded and claustrophobic but in a good way. I have rarely left the store without finding what I needed to fix the broken stuff in my old house.

The staff was so rude and the place is cluttered. I was looking to buy some paint but left after staff was dismissive.

Rittenhouse Hardware exemplifies the kind of neighborhood store that every city should cherish. I…read morelive nearby and make it a point to visit whenever possible. The store is highly organized and offers a surprisingly wide array of items for its size. What truly distinguishes it, however, is its staff. They are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful. Walking in with a problem, they'll help you think through the best solution. Often, the advice alone makes the trip worthwhile, with the purchase being a bonus. In an age where almost everything can be ordered instantly online, places like this still play an essential role. Some issues require judgment and experience, not just a quick online search. The team here clearly knows their craft and is happy to share their expertise. What I especially value is their honesty. They never try to pressure you into buying unnecessary items. If they don't carry what you need, they'll tell you and often point you toward where to find it. Such confidence and integrity are rare. While large stores like Home Depot have vast inventories, for smaller or specialized items, especially related to older Center City homes, this store is often the better choice. Prices are fair, and the quality of guidance enhances the overall value. It's evident that this store is run with pride, care, and years of expertise. It has genuine character, and I hope the neighborhood appreciates it as much as I do. I'm always impressed when I visit. Thank you!

There's a little bit of everything. Selection is good but then there probably 2-3 people who…read moreactually know what to do or how to complete something. The person who greeted us was definitely new and the other workers helped out as much as they could. I think it's a solid store. You can probably find anything you're looking for from kitchen stuff, plants, hammers, nails, even knife sharpening. I tried to sign up for their ace hardware program but it was unsuccessful linking my account and they had to take time finding the brochures to apply for a new account. Then it didn't work for the coupon, oh well. I think my knives will be sharp (6.99) per knife. They use the resharp machine that I'm a fan of. Perfect before thanksgiving!

As a new resident of Fairmount, I was looking forward to shopping locally but, I'm out $20 and will…read morenever be back. The manager was so rude and yelled at me when I followed his directions and went down the wrong aisle. I purchased some drill bits from a friendly enough cashier. Turns out I purchased the wrong sized bits and returned to the store within the hour to exchange them. The manager yet again was so rude. He refused the exchange and said the bits were "tools" and non-refundable and said that was printed on the receipt. The tool in fact was the manager. Too bad he is non-refundable. I had carefully opened the packaging in case I had to return it and neatly taped it back together, His argument was also that he could not resell the item due to packaging. I understand store policies have to be put in place but, if an item is non-refundable and it's not obvious, the cashier should say so. No one reads the top of receipts and even if they did, it is given to you after the purchase has already been made. If he had actually gotten off his duff and helped me, I wouldn't have bought the wrong size and would've upgraded the screws needed. Now I'm just screwed for trying to shop local.

I was respectful and followed the man whom swore by the other machine. He had possession of my key when he walked away from the store machine. I repeatedly asked him to slow down as I'm recovering from an Achilles repair. By the time I made it to the machine he said just put your credit card in. I said I wasn't sure I wanted the keys from the machine. he proceeded to say oh the give a key for free when you buy one. It literally was too late as Apple tap ran my card. Thru out the process the man repeated Lowes will give you money back of keys didn't work! Upon my return, employee wasn't the kindest. rather of the rude side. When I explained what happened she should have called on the manager to investigate why Lowe's employee assigned to key department could not apply how training to the process of making my key. I am a Lowe's Pro Business member and plan to be looking in Home Depot's business portion. I can not believe how they disregard what customers are saying about employee without asking for more details. Some empathy should be applied during all social interactions. Employees at all levels should never be as disgusting to an employee as they had been. Negative comments came from other department employees as they eaves dropped on my personal conversation.
