    Who says that Fullerton Ace Hardware is only for men? Ladies, if you would like to shop excellent kitchenware, cute aprons, pretty garden decorations, etc., check this place out. You will be amazed with not only the variety of home decor but also furniture selection. Every isle you walk in, there is always something that will capture your eyes. The store is very organized in categories and displayed attractively that you will want to spend more time. The staff are very friendly and always there for you if you need them. Everyone has a beautiful smile that you won't forget. Take advantage of the membership by adding up the points by earning 10 points per dollar, receiving free delivery after spending $50 or more and receiving $5 or $10 birthday offer.

    After a few less-than-stellar experiences at another Crown ACE Hardware, I figured I would check out the Fullerton location. Admittedly, I was hesitant to visit this location after reading all the negative reviews, but I was actually pleasantly surprised. The Fullerton location is a hidden gem! Originally opened in the 1950s, Crown ACE Hardware (Fullerton) is one of several "Crown" versions of ACE Hardware in Orange County owned by the same family (as opposed to the "regular" versions of ACE). The Fullerton location is a bit larger than some of the others, is bright & inviting, & the associates (for the most part) are friendly & helpful. They offer not only the typical items you would find at the big-box stores, but also some fun hard-to-find merchandise. With its old-fashioned hometown-type hardware store atmosphere, you will literally feel transported in time...almost as if you just stepped into a Norman Rockwell illustration...in a good way. They offer novelty & old-school candy, snacks, & beverages, a variety of colours of Stanley tumblers (if you're into those), "The Green Eggs" & other BBQ & accessories, gifts, beautiful mailboxes & plaques, & more. On my first visit, one of the friendly associates greeted me & asked if it was my first visit, & shared some interesting history of the store & dates for fun seasonal events that they host. Despite the fact that they were closing in a few minutes, she didn't rush me, but instead said, "...make sure to check out the rear left-hand side of the store...I think you'll love it!" Curious, I made my way there, & she was right! Tucked in a hidden corner of this store, there is an actual "Gold Crown Hallmark!" Upon entry, you feel like you're entering a mini oasis, where they feature cute & fun knick-knacks, candles, greeting cards, home decor, gifts, & more! Seriously...I could literally spend an hour in just this part of the store browsing! I was so enamoured by a "Gold Crown Hallmark" being hidden inside of a hardware store, that I have now nicknamed the area, "My Secret Hideaway." Overall, I am really loving this historic & charming Crown ACE Hardware. It's an old-fashioned hardware store that's big on service, & a nice way to support a local business in Fullerton.

    Ask the Community - Fullerton Ace Hardware

    Do you replace the mesh on a retractable screen door?

    If you can bring the screen in, we can take a better look at it and give you a firm answer. Some yes, some no. We would have to see it. We also do sell screen mesh separately by the roll for customers to fix their own screens.

    Do they sharpen kitchen knives?

    Yes we do. We send it out very Wednesday to an outside vendor. They sharpen it and then bring it back in 1-2 weeks depending on how big of a batch we send out.… Read more

In this place you'll find yourself with new ideas and projects popping up in your mind on every isle you walk down. It's like an AMAZON Hardware Store in real life right in front of your eyes and everything is right there on the shelf ready to buy with no waiting. If your arms fill up with new project solutions and you forgot what you actually came in for, you can ask anyone in the store if they have the item and they'll walk you right over to where the item is, because they have it, you just didn't see it. They have the things the other places do, plus the things the other places don't. It's like the hardware store from the 60's. A real one. I needed a few things at the Depot last night they didn't have and this place had them in stock just hanging there waiting for me, plus a few extra things that caught my eye as well. EDIT: They don't have refrigerators, washer or dryers like a department store. They don't have doors, widows or lumber like a lumber supply. They don't have carpet and flooring like a floor store. They have springs, tools, wheels, rope, wire, nuts & bolts small and larger then 1/2" like bulldozer size. They have piano hinges that you can weld onto a 1/4" steel lid. They have stuff like a HARDWARE STORE is supposed to.

I purchased a Torx bit which I was told was "hardened". I was told it would not round off. The tool lasted about 2 seconds before rounding off. I took the tool back to MD with my receipt. I was told essentially they would not refund or return or replace the tool. MD's customer service is a poor example of standing behind a product. I ended up buying a bit from Harbor Freight which removed the bolt quickly. Not a good look for McFadden Dale.

    Great In-Store Service, Terrible Customer Support Hotline…read more I ordered two medicine cabinets from Lowe's because they were in stock (even though they were slightly more expensive than Home Depot). Shipping was supposed to take 5 days, but when the delivery came, I only received one cabinet--the second box was a random piece of luggage I didn't order. Calling customer service made things worse. Abigale was unhelpful, gave contradictory answers about a discount, and hung up on us after we asked to speak with a manager. When I called back, Tina (a manager) still couldn't resolve the issue. Also, be aware: debit card refunds can take 3-10 days, and they won't guarantee any discounts over the phone. On the positive side, the in-store experience completely turned things around. At my local Anaheim Lowe's, Kayah in returns was great and made me feel valued. She brought in the store manager, Edward, who handled everything professionally and gave me a discount for the inconvenience. Bottom line: Store employees like Kayah and Edward are excellent. The customer service hotline is extremely frustrating--skip the phone and go straight to the store.

While they did replace the refrigerator, they refused to take any responsibility for the food loss caused by their defective appliance. I understand policies, but when a product failure directly impacts a customer, there should be some level of accountability or goodwill. Customer service felt dismissive, and no effort was made to help beyond the basic replacement. I expected better from a company like Lowe's.

If your plant dies within a year, you can bring it back (dead plant and all) with your receipt or the card you used, and they'll refund you. Trust me, as someone who does not have a natural green thumb, that policy has saved me more than once. I picked up three plants today, all looking healthy and happy on my patio for now. Once the sun gets too strong or the cold rolls in, they'll be coming inside with me. I love browsing their plant area -- good variety, good prices, and the peace of mind of that 1-year guarantee makes it totally worth it. If you're a plant lover (or a hopeful plant lover like me), this location is solid.

Only one was in stock. But some low life thief took out the 17mm . I noticed that there were other tools that were stolen out of packaging. A great example is the rubber gasket inside water nozzle. My friend pick up a $3.99 water nozzle and was about to put it in cart. I noticed that half of them were missing the rubber gasket that seals the water connection when the hose is connected. So I put it back and found her one that had rubber gasket inside. So be careful when you buy an item from here. Because some thief probably took what they want and closed packaging . Store employee was helpful and offered me 20% off the tool with missing 17mm. But I decided against it and went to La Mirada location, I did however buy stubby tools and a bunch of HF bags.

In both instances, I reprimanded the individual, instructing them not to interact with the screen without my explicit permission and to refrain from attempting to coerce me into applying for a Home Depot credit card. This practice is highly unethical and potentially more severe. For customers, it is imperative that you do not permit any employee to operate the self-checkout machine without your express consent. You are entitled to complete your transactions with privacy and without being misled into applying for credit. Do not allow them to interact with the screen unless they explain their intended actions and you provide consent. To management, I respectfully request that you cease promoting this particular practice. It is unethical. Please discontinue this behavior. Note also that Home Depot often utilizes an automated response system for addressing issues on Yelp across numerous stores. The reply is nearly identical on all low-rating posts and requests the user to allocate additional time and visit a disguised URL. This does not constitute customer service nor is it appropriate in this context. However, neither is attempting to manipulate customers into applying for credit!
