They are so helpful. Whenever I have an issue with anything, they make recommendations. They tell me where I can find the one item or several items I came in to buy. Also, they have a pit beef stand in front of the store on weekends. read more

Needed some advice about patching a hole in a masonry wall with plaster overcoat. The salesperson, a haggard looking young man, was brusque and not very helpful, as i'm not familiar with this type of repair. It used to be with a small independent business the sales associates were ready to make recommendations and share advice , not so here, I was left alone to look over various products with no help. read more

What a great hardware store! Not only did I find what I was looking for, but the people were super friendly and helpful. I needed one screw for a drawer knob in the bathroom. The problem was that it's a metric screw. They helped me find it, and I didn't have to buy an entire package! The perfect screw...35¢. This is now my go-to hardware store in Baltimore! read more

I love having a hardware store in the neighborhood! So convenient to be able to walk down the street to get what you need (AC filters, a hose, nails, etc.) without driving to a suburb chain big box store. The staff are also very helpful - the last time we arrived, someone walked right up to us and asked us if they could help us find something. That was especially appreciated since the store isn't huge and it can be hard to find something, since the store is small AND well-stocked (there are things hiding anywhere)! Definitely check it out and support a local, neighborhood business! They probably have what you need! read more

At Falkenhan's, they really go above and beyond. We had an old trestle leg table in pieces, but had long ago lost the hardware that held it together. A staff member at Falkenhan's spent about 15 minutes with us, thinking through which bolts, washers, levelers, etc. we would need, and helping us select and test different options. This evening, we put it all together, and voila! A table brought back from the dead. We couldn't have done it without them, and all that help only led to a $10 purchase of hardware. They've got newly loyal customers in us! read more

Great Service---staff escort you and find what you need. Very "home-town" like place. Good prices and good selection.

This store is incredible! They literally have everything you need. Deb and the people who work there are always really nice and super helpful. They gladly answer my million questions and give me tips on how to fix the stuff I attempt to fix. 100% go there instead of big box stores. read more

great - fully stocked & most helpful hardware store in north Baltimore- They have anything you could ever need if you live in a house !

Falkenhan's has everything you might need--for apartment or plant! Yesterday, it was some air filters, next time it might be plant food, a solid flashlight or sticky numbers for my mailbox. Let's start a new game--Stump the Hardware Store--and see if they don't have your request. Warning: you're unlikely to actually stump them! Knowledgeable and friendly staff. read more

Great Service and friendly staff with a lot of knowledge!! Highly recommended for locals and beyond

You may not think what you need is in here, but it is. Stop at the counter and marvel at the key ring selection and various pointy implements that will work great for your Dad's holiday stocking. I'm a chick, so I go there for "hardware lite." Service is tip-top and your eyes will be mesmerized by the variety while the clerk finds the #2 reflective sticker you need for your mailbox. Bonus: the craggy voiced shop kitty - Cop Cat. He can be elusive but he's seriously huggable. read more

Falkenhan's Hardware - Cop Cat works the counter at Falkenhan's Hardware. - Hardware Stores Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Was working on my gf's place trying to fix her mirror. Of course she had zero tools. Popped down here because it was within walking distance. I couldn't get over the selection. The place is definitely bigger than it looks like from outside. Prices were surprisingly reasonable for a mom and pop joint. read more

While I like to support a local business they make you work for it. It's super cramped with a really low ceiling. It's really hard to move around and located anything. The funny thing is they. Probably have what you need but you'll never find it unless you ask which is the next problem. They seem like they are always doing something besides helping or greeting you. When you ask, they look, pause and then end up having it. Another annoying thing is so many little signs telling you what you can't do, $10 minimum charge, trash cans cash only,(check picture). But at the end of the day they have decant prices and lots of merchandize and EZ parking. In a pinch I would not hesitate to go here. read more

Best local hardware store, very knowledgeable staff that's always happy to help and are patient as you fumble through explaining what you're looking for. read more

Meow! Hardware store kitty is friendly and very cute and just adds to the neighborhood-y vibe at Falkenhan's. Compared to the oversized florescent aisles of Home Depot, this place is like a little treasure hunt for what you need, which they'll probably have. The staff is super attentive and genuinely want to help you figure out whatever project you've got going on.You can definitely feel good about supporting Mom n' Pop and keeping your cash in the neighborhood. Today I bought a purple smiley-faced "hat" for my house key and a trashcan, but for those of you looking for real tools n' stuff, be sure to check Falkenhan's before heading out to the big boxes in the 'burbs--they'll likely surprise you! read more

Amazing the things that are packed into this kind of small hardware store. You'll find things here that you won't find at Home Depot or Lowe's. And, it's fun just to look around. read more

One of the arguments to go to a local hardware store is the customer service. Unfortunately, my experience at Falkenhan's was not up to par. I met up with a pompous dreadlocked white boy who obviously would rather be getting stoned then to be working in what I guess is mom & pop's store. They would be well served in not letting him interact with customers. They get 2 stars because they had what I needed. read more

I love Falkenhans! At Home Depot or Lowes, I'm always in there 45 minutes trying to find simple things and being mis-directed by sales associates. At Falkenhans, everyone knows exactly where everything is and I'm in and out in a few minutes, unless I choose to browse their extensive selection. And Cop Car is a real cute (and raggedy) cat! If you need wood, doors, etc, they don't carry this stuff, but Walbrook Lumber on North Ave. has 5 acres of selection, so there's basically no reason to leave the city for hardware! read more

Really great place. They've got everything you need, and the money you fork over stays in the neighborhood. That's special :) Also: the cat is cute but the sales associate with the lip ring is even better. muahahaha. read more

I love this store, and I am so happy it's in our neighborhood. Nowadays you don't get the customer service, friendly associates, and quality products at the big box stores. This place is small ish, with two levels but everything is neatly stocked and well priced. You don't need to look far for help from employees be it the lovely owner Deb or any of the store associates. My husband has been a loyal customer since he's lived in Hampden circa 2005, and I have since I moved here in 2014. They have a plethora of gardening tools, equipment, cleaning products, bolts, screws, and just about anything you'd need from a hardware store. They also make copies of keys which is always helpful! Parking is free on W. 34th street and metered on Chestnut. Prices are reasonable, with a $ 10 minimum for credit cards. I love their sign on the register that reads 'we are happy to help you once you've finished your phone conversation'. People who talk on the phone in public places and try to multitask are the rudest! Check out this great gem today. read more

Finding the door to enter is part of the fun of this place. Then once you figure out that the only door in is through the basement it gets that much better. If you need it, it's here. If you can't see it right away ask, they will find it. Unlike the big warehouse stores it won't take you long to get to it. Downside is that its not open on Sunday when I do most of my house work. read more

Falkenhan's is great -- it makes me think of what my parents' basement might be like if my Dad were to accumulate much more in the way of tools and bits & pieces of hardware. (Entrance is on the side, on 34th down a couple of stairs.) From what I have seen, it looks like they have pretty much anything you could want, though you are better off just asking where things are instead of looking yourself. The people that work there are friendly and helpful, and know their stuff. It's definitely a place you can go if you have something to do or to fix, but you're not quite sure how to start. read more

The only reason this is not a 5-star review is because the lovely people who own Falkenhands do not open on Sundays. Besides that make sure to check this hardware store because it is amazing!! Sadly their kitty copcar died a few months ago, but ask the owner, and she will show you pictures of him!! read more

If you need it, they probably have it. Hampden is lucky to have Falkenhans Hardware. The staff is very nice, shop local, we need to keep these kinda stores around. read more

Falkenhan's is a real gem in the Hampden community. They carry almost everything you need for home and yard maintenance. The employees are well qualified and quick to ask you if you need help, and they are always super friendly. You're going to pay a little more for supporting small business, but the prices are generally pretty comparable to the bigger stores. read more

Falkenhan's Hardware is the place to go! They have everything you could ever want for DIY home and garden, especially if you live in an old house. They've got every nut and bolt that a 100 year old Baltimore row house could ever need, including doorknobs, trim, latches, and plumbing supplies that match the originals or work to update. Unless I need a new refrigerator, Falkenhan's is where I go! Support small and local business! read more

Was doing a small home improvement project and a friend mentioned Falkenhan's - man was I ever glad she did! Great selection - I was able to find everything I needed - plus really friendly service made this experience much easier and quicker than the big boys (Home Depot and Lowes). Throw in some reasonable prices and I just felt compelled to give it 5-stars! Definitely recommend. read more

i love having them in my neiborrhood, when i go to small sleepy towns the 1st thing i hit is the hardware store! there's one in onancock va that was one of the best! card game going on in the back room, shooting the crap with the old ones while they all cheat at poker. fresh lobster just in from maine and beautiful wisconsin cheeses brought back from vacation all for sale! latest gossip, news. falkenhan's is one of these disappearing hardware stores in america that still breathes with the support of the community! read more

Falkenhan's is an old school hardware store that saves you from Lowes or Home Depot hell. I loved perusing the packed aisles in search of things like chisels, wall anchors, glue, nails, and implements to repair our 1930s era Wyman Park 1 BR apartment. The staff are locals who do not exactly open themselves up to tourists, but they are nice if you ask them for assistance. I can see why this place is still in business. People go out of their way to shop here, price point be damned. But it's not charity. It's respect for quality service and years of community spirit. read more

Falkenhan's has everything you need and more at a fair price, and the people who work there are very helpful, and the location is very convenient. 5 stars read more

Needed a new key. ($1.50) I literally was in here for 60 seconds. I love the owner. She's fun. Awesome old school mom and pop store.

It's 2 days before thanksgiving and I am getting ready to host 15 people. My sink drops at least 2 inches and find that thehardware to hold it has popped off the granite. I collect them and bring them to Falkenhan's and lay them out for Deb, the owner's daughter to ask her what to do. She goes into her office, searches the hardware, prints out an instruction sheet how to do it, and then goes into her black book of contacts and writes down about 3 names for me to contact. I am so appreciative, impressed and will forever more be a loyal customer. A very funky place that at first just impressed me with it's quirky side, but now deeply impressed with it's heart side. read more

This is easily my favorite hardware store to go to. It may be small, but they have a lot of stuff there...you should go an at least ask before going to a chain store...you just might be surprised. The staff are awesome and knowledgeable. The original owner passed it down to his daughter, and she is friendly and helpful. Plus she will help you figure out what you need, even if you don't know. read more

Falkenhan's makes me a lazy do-it-yourself home project manager. Why plan ahead when you can walk a few blocks to Falkenhan's anytime you want and get exactly what you need? (Ok, anytime you want except for Sundays.) Really, I've gotten little nuts and bolts here for my bicycle, new copper plumbing pipes, for sale signs, a flag pole, a trash can, a step ladder, drywall supplies, paint, and more assorted hooks and screws and nails and, well, hardware, than I'd care to tally up. read more

Very interesting old school family-owned hardware store. Need just 8 screws? They will sell you 8; unlike big box stores where the only package is of 1,000. It's hard to find stuff, but they have it. You'll have to get over being a recluse that probably hoards cats and just ask one of the knowledgeable employees. Also, the ceiling is quite low, so be sure to duck, Kareem. read more

My boyfriend raves about this place. EVERYTHING at a GREAT price and a huge selection for a little hole in the wall shop. Skip Lowes or Home Depot and go support this great little local establishment. read more

Great place for odds and ends and arcane hardware.....you have to spend at least $10 to use a debit card, but it's worth it. Very knowledgable staff. Feels like going into my grandfathers basement with all of the odds and ends, but it's better than the drive to Home Depot. read more

how can you get any better than a hardware store that goes out of its way to help you on any project for your home. the knowledge of local home needs is what any home owner in the city needs and this is the place to get them answered. come by and see for yourself, just go to the door around the corner and step back into a real local hardware store. read more

I stopped in to buy a block plane and was pleasantly surprised to find the price on par with the other locations. This place has a good cross section of tools and parts. If you like a nice cramped homey kind of hardware store with helpful staff and a cool cat, then stop in. I'm a fan and will be doing most of my tool shopping at this place from now on. Shops like this are on the out and so is the unique stock you can find in them, so stop in and support them. You may find something better then what you were looking for. read more

Surprisingly good selection for a small little place. The staff was quick to help me, had keys made here. Just a good little gem that you can count on. read more
