Counter staff helped direct me downstairs. The guy (Carrie?) was super helpful, and cut a light chain to size and attached a magnetic two sided key ring to hold together. He was great, particularly as I had lost my voice and it was clearly an unusual request. All for less than $10, they quickly saved the day, allowing the kilt to make its way to Gilette Stadium and Fenway Park. Thank you all

I can without reservation highly recommend the tool shed in Waltham.

Dishonest! I wanted to replace a set of bifold closet doors. When I contacted Home Depot I…read moreprovided them with the measurements that another company had already provided. I was told that they had to come to measure so fine. They did and someone was supposed to contact me within 2-3 business days. They did not so I reached out and finally contacted Joan Gomes. She spent a great deal of time 'trying to find' the right doors and offered me a $1000 door or for $372 or so I thought a mismatched pair of doors. When I said I was willing to consider the mismatched set all of sudden she is quoting me over $1000 for installation and the doors. When I ask for my $40 back because they don't have what I want I am told my fee is non-refundable. Well, if you don't have the product I told you in the first place that I wanted then I should get my money back! She was deceitful writing in her email to me that she was closing the case because of the cost. She didn't have the doors to fit my closet. Update: I am amending my review because after posting, I was contacted and Home Depot researched my situation and refunded the $40 fee. I appreciate very much their doing the right thing.

My building changed their locks and gave us instructions to get copies of the master. So naturally I went to the place down the street with the giant sign that says "Keys made here". You would have thought I asked this man to shave his beard off. Little free tip for you. The correct response to "Im looking to copy this key" is not "Nope. How many more of you are gonna come down here it's ridiculous". My bad I meant to organize with every renter in my complex so we can all go get our keys at once and maybe grab dinner after. Instead, try: "sorry we're actually sold out of that key. Try another store or check back next week". Maybe even throw in some friendly banter? Idk just spit balling. Go to Broadway Lock if you want actual solutions instead of misdirected anger.

The main reason why I use Tags is their location in Porter Square. I find that the staff are…read morefriendly and try to be helpful. However, the pricing is extremely high compared to some other big box stores or ACE hardware locations outside of the city. I highly recommend using their order online for in store pickup for the best pricing since the store will follow the online pricing vs the shelf sticker price. Online orders come with a paper bag that has a handle which makes it nice and easy to carry out. There are two floors to the store, with the majority of home improvement things being on the lower level.

They fixed the screen and made a key that actually worked. Buy stuff at Tags if you want, but don't count on them for even basic jobs.
