Yesterday paramedics had to break my mother in-law's window to help her. I brought the glass panel…read moreto Cooper's for repair but I didn't mention anything to the glass guy about how it was broken. He told me it would be ready in 20 min I couldn't believe my ears. How quickly I could secure my in-laws house while she was hospitalized was priceless. It was actually done in less than 15 min and in less than an hour, total time. Thank you!

I took in my 4' x 8' sliding patio door to be rescreened. The job was completed way beyond my…read moreexpectations. Cooper's has almost always come through for me when I need a hard to find part. I have been taking my window screens to them for years. Almost always satisfied with the results (one time the screen was not centered). Anyways, since it was a big screen and I was using my RX, I took it early in the morning, when they opened, to avoid traffic. I was told by the rescreener that they have same day turnaround. I replied that I would probably return early the next morning. By one o'clock, I received a voicemail that my door was ready for pickup. I went over an hour later and got it. Very impressed with the service. I chose the SunTex? material, I believe it's called, to reduce the rays by 80%. I was expecting to pay at least $100. Price was $60 and change. I very highly recommend Cooper's

Got a lot done today at Ace: kitchen knife sharpening, make backup copies of house keys, and picked…read moreup an online order for mason jars on sale. Ailien was so helpful and so sweet. She seems to be more senior (experienced) on the team because she definitely knew all the answers, like setting up the knife machine and finding my missing order and making it right. Ace has sooo much you can get here. I forgot you can buy grills, meat seasoning, picture hanging, gardening tools and so much more here. Next time I ought to budget way more time to meander and check out everything I need for my home and yard.

Location 4 stars: In the Porter Ranch Town Center's West end, in the former Toys R Us building…read more Plenty of free self parking on premises. Venue 4 stars: Large and modern. Well structured and offering a full selection of DIY and home and garden goods. They are not as builder/contractor oriented as say Home Depot or Lowes, but great for everyday needs. One great thing is that they are never busy. It is easy to get in and out quickly. Main reasons that I could see for the lack of crowds compared to other hardware superstores is the low turnout of contractors and the higher prices (discussed further down). Service 3 stars: I have always found this aspect of Ace Hardware hard to rate. Sometimes you walk in and there are smiling faces everywhere, greeting you and asking you if you need any help. Other times you will not find anyone to assist you and keep wandering the aisles. Overall service is better than Home Depot or Lowes but it could also be much better! Merchandise 3.5 stars: Again not as elaborate as Home Depot or Lowes, but good enough for a neighborhood hardware superstore when you need something quick. Convenience 4.5 stars: For me, they are the closest hardware superstore, about a mile away. Next closest are Lowes in Northridge (4.5 miles) and Home Depot in Canoga Park (7.5 miles). Not having to fight traffic, compete for parking spots, parking next to huge work trucks and getting dinged by them or the lumber carts, and not paying extra for gas is worth it, especially when I need something in a jiffy. Prices 2 stars: Generally much higher than Home Depot or Lowes. In one instance, a part that was $10.99 at Lowes, Home Depot AND Amazon, was $13.99 at Ace. This is 27% higher! Now every price may not be this much higher but as a general rule always expect to pay more for the convenience. The Bottom Line 4 stars: Convenience and lack of crowds wins it for me!

The store employee asked what I needed, I handed him the bag with the broken spring in it and he said, "follow me". He went right to the set of drawers that would have this $1.69 part that saved me $hundreds on a BMW trunk-latch. Big spender me bought two. ;-) The latch is now as good as new. With the advent of youtube videos, and the continuing story of Franklin Hardware, you can fix darn near anything. I also noted a great selection of what will be excellent quality Xmas gifts for next year. Great kitchen knives and big selection of Weber BBQ stuff, for a couple of them. They call it "True Value", but it's truly more like priceless value. Nobody saves your bacon better.

A person dedicated to cleaning up the shelves would do this place some real favors. Prices seem about what you'd expect - Not cheap, not expensive. Nice to have this place within striking distance.
