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...

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!

They share a space with a florist that is open during the week, so I got confused and thought they opened during the week. They're not. The space is not huge, but it was fun to prowl around the different sections and find hidden treasures from Japan. The owner is really good about taking time to explain what each item is and the different uses, as well as care and handling. This place is such a huge contrast to shopping at Walmart. Made me think of a small town hardware shop that is the heart of the community with people stopping by to have keys made or knives sharpened or whatever random thing they need. These kinds of places are treasures! Definitely worth a visit and definitely worth supporting. Glad I did!

So I take my time selecting what I need versus what I want especially because I don't know when I will have the next chance to return. 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.

Full disclosure, I am not a DIY guy. I am missing the home improvement gene. But whenever I need…read moresomething that is hardware related I think of Tritch, particularly if it's a hard to find item, because typically if they don't carry it, they can tell me where to find it. I just had a security screen installed over our front door, so this mean having locks rekeyed so that the security screen door and the front door could be opened using one key. Because I have a large extended family, I needed 10 copies of the house key made. This wasn't a specialty key, just a standard off the shelf Kwikset key. I went to the KeyMe vending machine at our local Albertsons supermarket. Their cost was $11 per key. There was a special offer in which if you had the machine duplicate two keys, it would throw in a third for free. I was tempted to just get my 10 keys made then and there in order to save time, but then I remembered Tritch Hardware in Eagle Rock. I went into the store today, and they were able to cut the 10 keys while I waited, for less than the cost of 3 keys at the Key Me machine. I can't say enough good things about the staff at Tritch.
