"Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks". It's also the place for key duplication! Formerly the location of a Tuesday Morning, Ace Hardware now has a convenient location near me, in Lakewood. Prior, I had to drive a bit further into Long Beach to visit Ace. Needing to duplicate a house key, I remembered the new Ace location, so decided to check out the new store to accomplish my mission. Walking inside, I was immediately greeted, where I let them know my reason for visiting, and was quickly helped. The key cutting took about 5 minutes, costing only $6. While I was there, I noticed signage specifying Ace also cuts & programs car key fobs. I asked for an estimate, and was quoted $150. Wow! I recently had a mobile locksmith cut & program a new key fob for my vehicle, and I had paid $250. Granted, the convenience factor of having the locksmith show up at home & around 11 pm at night, the service should cost more. Knowing Ace can do the job and less costly to boot, I'll be heading to Ace when the need should arise. Ace Hardware's staff were friendly & hospitable, especially the gentleman handling the key duplication. Parking is via a shared lot, at the Vons Supermarket plaza. Ace is located on the left of Daiso. I am highly satisfied with my visit to Ace Hardware in Lakewood. I accomplished what I set out to do, didn't pay ridiculous prices, and have an option for car key fob cutting & programming, in the future. Also, Ace Hardware is not big & intimidating, compared to the big box hardware stores Home Depot & Lowes. I highly recommend Ace Hardware. read more

Came in here a handful of times for little things (sealant, mesh screen, bucket, keys) and they have the best customer service, and always had exactly what we needed even with a much smaller selection than the giant stores. Sometimes we found way cooler things like when making keys for my daughter's first apartment, couldn't help but be sold on the one shaped like a mini sword. And why did no one ever tell me about the pies?! Been back twice in the past month just for pies and nothing else. I don't even like pies that much but here I am obsessing over them. They are crazy good and you can't fail with any flavor. If nothing else, just go in and grab a pie. So worth it!! read more

Came in last week to purchase some paint for our living room and asked for assistance as I had some questions I wanted to ask before buying. Carlos was absolutely amazing and the epitome of good customer service. He took his time explaining every detail we needed to know for the project, recommended preferred supplies and brands, and gave some tips and tricks for the project. Was nervous going to a hardware store because most have people just working a shift, but aren't quite versed on the projects people are working on. Carlos is the opposite. Highly knowledgeable, friendly, and a reason I will return to this store for my next DIY project. read more

Great service, ample parking, and pies! We don't frequent ace hardware too often but after looking around the store I just might start coming more. They sell frozen pies which I heard are delicious. I plan to smoke one next week. They also have some equipment and accessories for your blackstone and your smokers. They even sell Meat Church Seasoning as well as Blues Hog for a very good price. read more

Walked in asked for help right away because I was in a rush. Waited over 5 minutes. While the workers were chit chatting at the paint counter. I was met with disrespect from some young kids working there. Bullcrap. Do better Ace. read more

This is the first time I've been to the Lakewood Ace Hardware, it will not be the last! I came in for an anti BUG light for the patio. I left with the light, a bag of lawn seed, and chewy's for the dogs! This store has everything and if they don't, you don't need it! Staff was super nice, including Sandy, who was at the counter and hooked me up with coupons for future fun! They have an extensive BBQ section with the BIGGEST Green Egg BBQ I have ever seen! Enough spice rub mixtures for a years worth of variety. They even have frozen fruit pies!! read more

Shout out to Mike who helped me choose a socket wrench set. Very knowledgeable. And a nice guy.

6/8/2026 - I came in as I had an issue with the bolts for my TV mounting bracket that require a longer bolt. Was with my friend at the time that was helping me with the project - and we had a hard time finding what we were looking for. We inquired with of the associates that was there Nathan Drown - and he asked us some basic questions. With his knowledge and expertise he was able to assist us with finding what we were looking for but the attitude that came with it was not warranted. I did not know it at the time but this was a past teacher of mine from high school that has some personal grudge with me still. Mentioning my last name in a condescending nature and referencing incidents of my past. Was very uncomfortable by the whole experience as this was not expected from a employee. After we had what we need he told me specifically to "stay outta trouble". I don't need to be belittled by a store employee when I was only there for a simple request. Everyone else was friendly and helpful besides Nathan. So much for helpful neighbors... read more

So I am at odds with this spot maybe because I was spoiled for so many years with a red ball. Unfortunately they closed so I had to find a new location. This particular spot had knowledgeable employees with a wide variety of selections that I was looking for. They have the odd nuts and bolts. They have the most random for metric and centimeter items that you'll ever need with people that will be able to help you find them and give you knowledge on how to utilize them. Pricing was not bad whatsoever at all. The store overall was very clean and the help was very knowledgeable. It was a wonderful experience. read more

Came into store to see if they had what I was looking for. I asked to use the restroom seeing as I'm 39weeks pregnant, I was told to walk to Vons. I was barely able to walk Into the store for what I needed. Sign on the door says "restroom for customers only" supposed pregnant women can't be customers. It's ok I'll go to Amazon for what I need instead. It's sad when people have no empathy for children, elderly and pregnant people. read more

I was looking for a replacement bathtub faucet knob and found a set that I thought would fit but did not. Since I was on this side of town on a Saturday morning, I waited upon returning it until I was in the area a week after and the clerk returned it with no hassles. I explained to her that I tried to return it at the location nearest me in Long Beach on Anaheim St; however, the would not accept it as they did not have any in stock as each store operates independently. read more

Easy parking, comparable pricing, lots of selection. Grills, power tools, snacks, bbq rubs and sauces, self serve knife sharpening, trash bags, cleaning supplies, YETI, etc etc. This is a pretty nice size Ace Hardware. Customer service so friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. We also picked up apricot frozen pie! We heard they were popular. Can't wait to bake it! Will return for our hardware needs and etc! read more

The staff here is so friendly, they help you find the tools you need and give the feeling of community in a neighborhood hardware store. This store doesn't only sell hardware, they also sell items for your pets, Christmas decorations, plants, and snacks. Plus a wide selection of barbecue accessories with tons of deals. We ended up buying one of the pies located near the register. read more

This location would not cut a car key for me. Standard car key for an 09 Scion, not a laser cut key. Said they needed the manager to sign off on it but he denied it after thinking about it. Claimed it was because I did not buy the blank key from them. Wanted to charge me $180 to buy their key. Kind of a bummer. I've had keys cut at the Ace in Orange with no problem at all. I'll be taking my business to a different location. read more

Big well stocked store with friendly employees eager to help you find things and learn how to use equipment you buy. A lot of available parking. Overall a excellent addition to that business district. read more

Everyone at this ACE Hardware location was incredibly friendly and helpful. I was looking for a specialty item, a "wipe drip rail" for 1/2-inch glass and while they didn't have it in stock, they went the extra mile by referring me to a local, family-owned glass shop that did. The other store had it on hand and even custom-fitted it for me! I'm not sure if this ACE is privately owned, but it definitely feels like it, great service with a personal touch. Highly recommend! read more

Best customer service!!! I went there yesterday after going to Home Depot Signal Hill which lacks customer service. I was looking for a screw for a faucet and when I asked for help at Home Depot from several associates, I was told "Aisle 11", there's hundreds of screws or no screws in the aisles that I was sent to. I wasted over 30 minutes of my time and left there with nothing. I drove about 20 minutes to Ace Hardware in Lakewood and it was worth the drive. As soon as I entered the store, I was greeted and asked if I needed assistance. The sales associate actually walked with me to the aisle and he was doing all the searching. I actually left there without a screw only because I needed to bring in another piece to make sure that I was given the correct screw. I'll go back in a couple of days. As I was leaving the store, I was again thanked for coming in. They appreciate your patronage of their business. I will now be going to this Ace Hardware for all our household news. The shopping experience here is very pleasant. read more

My very first visit at this Ace Hardware. The store is super clean and organized. They sell many items, and they have pies for sale! The freezer is near the cashier. The employee named Marco was very helpful and knowledgeable. I appreciated everything about him. Thank you. 5 stars all the way ! read more

Horrible customer service skills. I came in to return a tool that did not work for me. The staff loosened the bolts on the item in an attempt to "make it work," and proceeded to tell me it was fine. I have no interest in keeping a product that needs to be altered right out of the packaging to simply function properly. The staff were also incredibly rude when I said I simply wanted a return. I repeatedly thanked the staff, despite them belittling me, and the cashier could not say a word back. It's disappointing to see this level of customer service. Businesses like this often struggle and lose customers to online shopping, yet somehow still feel justified in treating their clientele poorly. I'll be moving forward with a formal complaint to corporate. If the staff dislike their jobs, perhaps they should consider pursuing something they're passionate about rather than taking it out on customers. read more

had a wonderful experience at this store, Chuck greeted us as soon as we walked in and asked us what we needed then walked us over to the item and helped us pick out the right one. we were looking for a grill top for our fire pit that we just built and he even helped us find cheaper fire starters for us so we wouldn't spend too much money. Everyone in the store was really nice 10 out of 10 would go back for anything I needed. our fire pit came out great too and the firestarter worked perfectly! read more

Mr Chuck and Linda provided great service! Mr Chuck greeted us at the door, gave our puppy a treat, and helped us find what we needed.

Lee and Mike were extremely helpful in helping me find what I need. No one told me to write this review but I feel like I need to because they need to have this recognition! Lee was previously a contractor himself so he knew exactly what are the steps to get a bathroom remodel done. read more

Finally we get an Ace in Lakewood! Smaller than your typical hardware store but they do carry some items/brands I can never find at the other stores. Prices are pretty much the same too but they have coupons they send out or via the rewards you sign up for. Everyone we came across with seemed pretty helpful and nice. I really hope they do well in the area. read more
