There were a large selection of samples to see for my new door handle. The service was very helpful and friendly. My handle arrived from the manufacturer on the agreed upon date. read more

Fantastic service! My front door lock broke and they researched it and discovered a lifetime warranty! So they gave me a new one on faith that I would bring back the old one, which I promptly did the next day and I have a brand new front door lock with an upgraded mechanism! So kind! And they have off street parking in the back. The showroom is fantastic and everyone who works there is very knowledgeable and helpful! Thank you all!!! read more

This place is great, they saved me so much money! My beautiful Emtek entry door handle broke for the second time and I came in to Berger Hardware to shop for a new handle set; I brought my old handle with me and Dorothy suggested they try to fix it instead of replacing it. Unfortunately it couldn't be repaired but she contacted Emtek and was able to get a replacement handle for me! Dorothy was so knowledgeable and helpful I couldn't be more pleased!! Take note it's hard to locate; if you find the flooring store you are in the right place; I guess the City of Encinitas is making signage hard to get. read more

The best selection and the best service EVER! Erik and Kathy are so knowledgeable , helpful and friendly. I was dreading replacing my cabinet hardware after visiting Home Depot. This place made it a piece of cake. Thank you so much! read more

Kathy was easy, pleasant and very patient to work with. She ordered my pulls and knobs for a kitchen remodel. And followed up with me as soon as they arrived. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Berger Hardware. They helped me select beautiful door hardware for all my interior doors and my entry door. Eric, Dorothy and Kathy were so patient, knowledgeable and friendly in helping me. I love how the selections compliment the overall design of my remodel. Eric even organized the door hardware by room to make the installation easier for my contractor. Thank you, for making my door hardware selection so easy and successfu! I love every decision we made! read more

Super nice and knowledgeable people. We felt welcomed and the staff genuinely wanted to help. Classic, good old-time customer service.

We purchased kitchen and bathroom cabinet knobs and pulls from Berger Hardware. Dorothy was friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Her excellent customer service, communication and follow-through made for a great buying experience. Thank you, Dorothy! read more

I am doing a kitchen remodel, and I wanted to find the right retro knobs and pulls to go with the new cabinets. After finding the general brand and style that I liked, I was referred by the site (Water Street Brass) to Berger Hardware as a local retailer. This allowed me to take a sample cabinet front to the store and see what the hardware would look like on the door, including picking the best finish (chrome over polished nickel in my case). The person who helped me (Kathy) couldn't have been nicer, the prices were in line if not better than what I found on the Internet, and it's really cool to be in a store that's been there since 1912. Most of us are aware of San Diego Hardware, but I also recommend checking out Berger Hardware the next time that you need quality hardware for a special home project. read more

I found out about this business through a contractor I'm working with. I needed to order door hardware. I was greeted by Kathy upon entering the store, and she was super kind, knowledgeable and helpful. My order came in within the promised time frame, they contacted me to let me know. When I went back to pick it up, the service I received was again, top notch. I will definitely recommend them. read more

Customer service is great. They always have what I need and at a good price. I'm able to order items on the phone without any troubles. Best resource for high end hardware in San Diego. read more

We came here hoping to educate ourselves on cabinet hardware we were shopping for which have not yet been installed. We were greeted by, and received help from Kathleen, who was very friendly, knowledgeable, and really did her best to inform us of the cabinet handles we might like, differences with different materials used, color & style, sizes, prices, etc. Kathleen kindly emailed us pricing on the type of hardware we were interested in. She also provided information re: a custom door vendor which we showed interest in, who had sample doors on display in their showroom. They have plenty of brands and styles of cabinets, hardware, door knobs/locks/electronic keypads, mailboxes, etc. Their display showroom was very organized and clean. They allowed our medium sized dog to shop with us. And the staff all exercised safe social distancing the entire time. Kathleen really made it a point to answer all our questions, concerns, and offered very helpful suggestions to us which we never thought about prior to our visit. We have a few more places to visit and check out, but we did see a style we really liked, so it's very possible we ultimately select our cabinet hardware from Berger. read more

Wife & I completed a total home remodel overseen by Marrokal Design & Remodeling (separate review). At every step of the way I was impressed with Marrokal's recommended suppliers and specialized contractors. Every recommended supplier was top notch! Berger Hardware was Marrokal's recommended source for exterior and interior hardware. Just stepping into Berger Hardware and meeting Eric immediately put us at ease. Eric has extensive product knowledge and works with customers to find the right fit. I was relieved to discover at Berger there is no hard sell tactics. Wife & I could wander the store and ask questions as needed. If we needed time to review products before deciding, we could leave with product catalogs and take as much time as desired. We could then return and see Eric with follow-up questions before placing an order. We placed half a dozen separate hardware orders at Berger totaling around $2,500. Wife & I were very happy with our visits to Berger Hardware and love every product received. Visitors to our home will comment, "I love these handles!". Final note. During remodel process wife and I also visited San Diego Hardware (separate review). I'll give San Diego Hardware credit for being a large store with extensive product displays. But in some ways, it felt sterile as we took a number and waited for a random staff member to help us. In contrast, we always looked forward to our visits with Eric at Berger Hardware as friendly, personalized and productive! read more

Had to replace a front door handle and an inactive front door handle. Eric was very helpful through the entire process, from figuring out what I needed, to determining the options that were available to me, to placing the order. He responded to my emails in a very timely manner. When I picked up at the store, Kathy was there to help me out. She was very kind and helpful, too. She checked the boxes to make sure everything was as ordered and made sure I had enough spare keys for the new lock set. She even briefed me on installation. I would definitely go back to Berger again for my hardware needs! Great people and great customer service! read more

Berger Hardware was a wonderful breath of fresh air after our very bad experience with San Diego Hardware earlier. After telling a contractor our tale of woe regarding San Diego Hardware, he recommended Berger Hardware for a large project we had planned. We were not disappointed! Great selection, competitively priced, and customer service rarely found! These people are great, and the door locks and handles they recommended are the best I have seen anywhere. read more

Wow! Talk about customer service....let me tell you. These guys and gals are the sh!t! They know their business, and their business is door hardware...not only did they call around to get a replacement rim cylinder lock for a surface mount 1970s retro National Lock, they had it here in 1 day, re-keyed it to my new kw1 lockets. IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM! Kudos to these guys and gals. Go here if you need high-end door parts or just even help in fixing your lock situation.. They are the best! read more

I walk past this place every day - and based on the reviews, you'd think this would be an awesome little hardware joint - but I'd use the word 'Aloof'. I was looking for kitchen cabinets and was greeted by a lady and gentleman who said,"Hello" - and as soon as another customer entered, they both focused their attention on that individual - while I was in mid-sentence. It was a little weird - and I should have turned around and left. Turns out that their cabinet expert just left so they put me in contact with their new designer.....in Encinitas. She didn't seem too keen on supporting the North Park area (coming out for measurements, etc.). Long story short: these guys are literally down the block from me. I was going to try the 'Support the Local Business' thing, but these guys can't get the customer service thing down right. Folks walking into your store are going to spend thousands of dollars for well-made cabinets -- and you can't even greet properly? Maybe it was just a bad experience, but like I said, I walk past this store every day. It was a disappointment. read more

I went to several hardware shops looking for some unique hardware for my kitchen cabinets. Berger hardware had an amazing selection to choose from. I found exactly what I want, and not to mention the customer Service was outstanding! I will definitely be going back there and would highly suggest other people to see it as well! read more

Great hardware store. I chose cabinet hardware for my kitchen and their customer service was the best!

WE LOVE THIS PLACE. Nothing fancy, but they know their stuff. We had a long list of items to get for our remodel. We had a ton of questions. Cheryl took her time, gave us a ton of options and answered MANY questions. The prices are HALF THE PRICE OF SAN DIEGO HARDWARE. We found doorknobs, drawer pulls, door stops, everything a 1920's house needs to have replaced at some point in time. the store front signage is on 30th street, but you enter the building through the alley. read more

I work with Berger as a commercial customer. My employer uses a wide variety of hardware, and while we used to be big fans of San Diego Hardware, we have shifted ALL of our business to Berger. Better prices and most important for me - much better service. Skip the "we don't really have time for you" attitude at the big store, and go to Berger. You'll be happier. read more

If it goes on a door, you will find it at Berger Hardware. I use them for my rentals and my own home. They are big enough to serve you and small enough to want to. read more

So glad I found you! I have gone to both the big box stores and your competing hardware store but have not found the selection, value and customer service you offer. Do yourselves a favor and shop here before/instead of going to other stores. Great Quality products, exemplary customer service and extraordinary value - what more can you ask for? Don't forget to park in the back. Thanks my cabinet pulls are great. read more

This places is hands down the place to go for quality products and quality service. They had everything that we needed for our house remodel. They are extremely knowledgeable and everyone there was so helpful especially Kathy! The prices even cheaper than going to some of the big box stores and quick turn around on special orders. read more

As both a general contractor and finish carpentry contractor (37 years experience and I'm still hanging doors myself), I appreciate a place that has not only a wide selection but a selection of the odd and difficult to find items. The people are very friendly (including the old cat that has been there as long as I have been patronizing the store) and, perhaps even more importantly, very knowledgeable. But let's admit it, what is most important to the majority of clients is the pricing, and they beat Dixieline and Home Depot without breaking a sweat, and that's with a selection ranging from the cheap and inexpensive to the highest quality lines. Over the years, I've been to some great supply houses with great selections and prices but sometimes I see the occasional homeowner ill-treated or ignored. That won't happen here. I've noticed homeowners and other people not in the trades treated with the same care and respect as a large builder, though Berger does specialize in selling to the trades. I can recommend Berger without reservation. read more

I started shopping at Berger Hardware several years ago on the recommendation of a contractor I was working with and 2 houses later I find myself driving down from Orange County to shop there because the people there always have good ideas and take the time to share them! Prices are great as well! read more

Was referred to Berger by my contractor. Excellent selection, very competitive pricing, and the level of customer is truly amazing. These are some of the nicest and most patient people I have ever dealt with! Thanks to Cheryl, Kathy, and Eric for all your patience and kindness! read more

These folks are an absolute pleasure to work with! They have a great selection of door hardware, cabinet pulls, door hinges, and bathroom hardware accessories. They are wonderfully friendly and their customer service always surpasses my expectations. read more

Berger Hardware is the best! I worked with Cheryl and everything went very smoothly!! Beautiful Hardware, Great Quality!!

I had been a customer for many years. The true test of a Buisness is how issues get resolved when things don't go as planned. I purchase flooring from Eric through Urban Flooring. The flooring arrived over 4 weeks late. I was promised a $500 dollar credit of which I didn't see a dime of. After having the low quality flooring installed by a qualified installer, the floors started to buckle in front of the windows. I contacted Eric and he told me "I didn't understand flooring as well as you". He made it clear he wouldn't get involved in this issue. The price to replace the defective flooring was 10k. In the future I will shop at stores that stand behind the products they sell and the customers who support them. read more

These guys are the best! Extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. As a major builder in San Diego, it's hard to find high quality products and superb customer service. Highly recommend! read more

The best! I was referred to Berger by my contractor and found exactly what I needed. Great customer service and the best prices in town. I will never go anywhere else before checking in with Berger first. read more

What incredible service! They are very knowledgeable and very helpful. They helped me solve a problem with an older door lock. They not only helped me in the store, the patiently walked me through problem-solving on the phone read more

This is another Diamond in the Rough. Saves me from driving to San Diego Hardware. They still exist while "Expo", Howard Palmer, and a few others are looooooong goooone . . . . read more

Excellent customer service and good prices! So I did an experiment where I went to San Diego Hardware and purchased some door knobs first. Then I went to Berger Hardware to purchase those same door knobs. Berger prices came in several dollars cheaper and they provided excellent customer service. The Berger sales person went out of their way to assist me and even offered to key my front door knob for me so it would match my existing one. When I went to San Diego Hardware, they were very busy and I felt a bit rushed when asking for assistance. I will definitely be back in the future. Note that they are going through a remodel right now so the showroom is not in that great of shape, but they still had a nice selection of products and like I mentioned before they've got better prices. read more

Even though I live nearby, I had never heard of this company but found them on Yelp when looking for cabinet hardware for a kitchen remodel. They may not have the largest range on display, but the ones they have are very well made, extremely reasonably priced, and the staff know their stuff. I purchased some elegant hardware for a fraction of the price of what it would have cost at San Diego Hardware or Restoration Hardware (and it's also so nice to be able to buy from a local, family owned business) read more

Shoot - I was certain that I'd given Berger Hardware a 5 star review a few months ago, but I don't see it. Had received awful customer service at another store in town, found Berger complimented on a review site, and have never looked back. Go there - prices are great, and service is out of this world! Believe me, you will not regret finding this place for all your hardware needs! read more

A friend recommended Berger Hardware to me and they were right! I drove all the way from North County and Cheryl was so amazing and helpful! She answered every question and gave great suggestions on cabinet hardware options. Even loaned me samples to borrow and take home so I could see them with my cabinets. Worth the drive for the great prices. I hear they may be opening a location in North County soon. Woo hoo! read more

Berger has the lowest prices and outstanding customer service. Eric went out of his way to find me the perfect retrofit hardware for an old door, after San Diego Hardware and Home Depot had given up. If they don't have your item in stock, they will order it happily. Small friendly staff really cares and it shows! Delise K. read more
