They have everything you need at good prices, great advice, AND a cat. What more could you ask for!?

An extremely well stocked, old fashioned hardware store! Great helpful friendly staff with answers and no attitude ( no orange aprons here!) and a resident expert on everything (I'm looking at you Glenn!) Very fair prices, you can park within walking distance and they have a snoozing cat that will be happy to ignore you! If you are in Lakewood during the day for the restaurants or the antiques you have to stop by Lakewood Hardware. You can go back in time and experience what life used to be like...and you won't leave empty handed! read more

Shop local first. Just one reason: this cat. Friendly service. Knowledgeable staff. Established local business. A cat. A lovely, lovely cat. read more

The best customer service, and well stocked shelves. A much needed hardware store like I grew up with. I simply admire and love them. Grateful they are here. read more

This place is an invaluable resource in Lakewood because our old homes often have special needs and the staff here are familiar with all the quirks, oddities and non-standard issues we run into with a 100+ y/o house. Just try finding a radiator key at one of the big home centers. Actually, don't - because they won't have any. Go to Lakewood Hardware instead. They're always quick to help as soon as you walk in the store (which I appreciate because I feel uncomfortable blindly looking around for something in a hardware store). Sometimes I know exactly what I need but have no idea where to find it. Other times, I just know I have a particular problem without a clue what to do about it, and I can rely on them to help me figure out how to solve it. read more

Best and most friendly place ever. Everytime i bring something in half broken or pieces missing they always have a solution. No lines and the prices are great. They even have mulch out back! read more

Knowledgeable but not arrogant staff? Check Stocked for nearly every project need? Check Willing to research and special order at a moments notice? Check This place knows hardware and old houses very well. I am impressed when I watch the owner Glen and crew go into troubleshooting mode to help if I am stumped. Such a refreshing change from the crotchety retiree at the big box store who thinks he's going to win an award if he knows more than you... Nicely done folks. Nicely done. read more

Great local hardware. Employees know where stock is located as well as how to use it. Old houses require old pieces and the know how to fix. Big box stores may have what you want but this is a REAL hardware store that will keep your shit running with their stock and knowledge read more

Good service, good prices. Been there twice now and can't ask for much more! I'm a new homeowner so it's very helpful to have a place like this within walking distance. Great local place. read more

First I'm very glad to support a local business. Second I'm not a handy person and I don't usually need a hardware store but I was recently working on a project and I was having an issue with some of the supplies I had bought somewhere else. I brought in the supplies (I had to make a couple trips back) and they were very friendly and helpful in finding exactly what I needed. My project turned out perfect! read more

Went in to buy new florescent light bulbs that I know NOTHING about! The staff were so nice and FAST , they looked at the bulb I brought in and ensured that I was buying the correct type. They also answered all of my questions ! Its great to support another local Lakewood shop! I will be back again for sure! read more

Giving 'em five stars because I can't give 'em six. A Lakewood treasure, and a refreshing throwback to the hardware stores of yesteryear. Glenn and his staff are the best-- attentive and kind. Customer service is something that's lost across the spectrum of the retail market these days, but it's precisely what makes Lakewood Hardware so special. Lakewood Hardware knows exactly what you need when you walk in the door. Let me know if the staff at the big box stores remember your name when you walk in. These guys and gals know their stuff, and they freely pass on that knowledge. Think about it: most of the homes in this city are about 100 years old or older. From a retail perspective, it's their niche. There is no better place (perhaps anywhere) to get whatever you need... and if they don't have it, they'll get it for you. read more

We recently had one storm window break and a couple others off the track on my family's old house in Lakewood. We initially looked on Home Advisor referral service for a handyman but couldn't even get anybody to answer our calls, maybe because it was a small job. I also kept getting online referrals to a big glass replacement chain who I did not want to use because I'd used them before for an auto glass replacement and their process, which involved several call centers in different states and a local referral, was really weird and involved. In desperation we called Lakewood Hardware. They were friendly on the phone, and referred us to a local handyman who was able to remove the broken window, take it to Lakewood Hardware for a glass replacement, and then get it and the other windows back on the proper track, all at a reasonable price. This whole process did take a a few weeks of coordinating schedules, but bottom line is Lakewood Hardware helped us where other referral services didn't, the guy they sent us to returned phone calls, and the window situation is now resolved. I would use Lakewood Hardware's services again. read more

The first step of any project is to go to Lakewood Hardware. Everyone there is friendly and helpful and funny. They will troubleshoot your problems with you and invariably save you time, money and effort. On the chance they don't have the part or service you need, they will tell you where you can get it and a referral from them is a sure bet. read more

Staff knows Lakewood housing and yards and are happy to help guide you through any project. They carry Benjamin Moore paint. I thought paint was paint until I used this stuff - for exterior work it can revitalize and strengthen old, neglected wood. I save money shopping here because I only buy what I need for the job and get exactly what I need to do it right. They also help with crafty artistic projects and you can see by how they do the windows and displays that they pay attention to detail. read more

Every time I go there something doesn't work or they don't have it none of my keys made worked garden hose I bought had a slit in it several areas Go to Home Depot worth the extra drive asked for some plumbing valves for a toilet gave me a sink valve was in such a hurry forgot to look at it never returned anything was so aggravated my brand new garden hose look like a sprinkler system they could do a lot better to be local and convenient read more

Great little place. You wouldn't think it, but they pretty much have everything you need. The staff is always awesome and so much more welcoming then the Home Depot or Lowes people. I just love this place. read more

Had a Rustoleum product that I couldn't find at Lowes, Home Depot, or Walmart. I called ahead and they checked to make sure it was in stock. When I came to pick it up, they gave me a recommendation on an alternative that they did not have in stock but then told me where to get it and for the approximate cost. They took their time to explain the pro's and con's to both the Rustoleum product and their recommended product. I appreciate the time they gave me and their honesty! read more

If there's one local business I enjoy supporting, it's my local hardware man. I brought in my little list of random apartment hardware needs plus two keys for copying and before I could ask, I was walked to the proper shelves and handing over my keys for cutting. Friendly, fast, reasonable prices. read more

I realize that with a move towards online ordering (where people are even ordering their toilet paper to be delivered to their door), it's hard to find good stores with good customer service like they have right around town. I love Lakewood Hardware because they are a classic feel with everything you need. I look forward to each visit because I know I won't need to run around to find a washer or screw. Every town needs a hardware store like this. read more

They know their stuff. Extremely helpful in a non-intimidating atmosphere. They cut glass!

Moving into town, a lamp fell and wouldn't work. The kind folk at Lakewood Hardware fixed it as I waited. They filled my lamp harp needs as well and my wife has just returned there with more for them to do for us. A personal, friendly, well-stocked store. read more

Very nice, and knowledgeable!! It's really nice having this around the corner from me to go to instead of a big box hardware store.

Lakewood Hardware is usually my first choice over the big box stores. All of the staff are friendly and helpful with locating unusual replacement parts, nuts and bolts, etc. The parking situation isn't the best, but I can't remember ever being unable to find a place to park. Also, the store is dog friendly, which is a major plus for me. read more

Great local hardware store. Has all my needs with knowledgeable customer service, unlike the box stores

Helpful and attentive staff make selections easy BUT recently a staffer charged me and gave me a paid receipt for an item to be worked on. When I returned to retrieve it, I was informed the original receipt was wrong and I had to pay almost three times that amount. A consumer should not be held responsible for the mistakes of staff. I would have appreciated at least an accommodation for my financial inconvenience. So it's back to HD, though I try to support neighborhood businesses. read more
