Wanna see a bunch of crazy rat statues while you shop for your hardware needs? Wanna be helped by old school Valley dudes who know everything there is to know about hardware? Then come here! Love love love this shop. Located on the corner of Carpenter and Ventura in the mall with Lala's Argentine cuisine, the store has everything you could possibly need when it comes to hardware supplies. I've been shopping here for years, for everything from mops to keys to car fob batteries to screwdrivers and Lord only knows what else. Their prices are great and their merchandise is fantastic quality. It's a big store too. Come and have a look! read more

I really liked coming here and the customer service. It's been great to find a place, other than Home Depot, that has the items we need quickly and with knowledgable employees. It is a little messy however, so sometimes things are misplaced. read more

They're so nice and they're really sweet helpful and kind. Parking is easy they have a few dedicated spots in in otherwise hectic parking lot. read more

The only hardware store I'll shop at. Love these guys. Incredibly helpful. A great selection of everything I need

The staff is always knowledgeable and helps me find what I need. I have relied on north hollywood hardware for 25 years. It's wonderful to have a neighborhood hardware store read more

They have been in business a long time. I've shopped there since before they moved to Ventura Blvd., when they were in a smaller strip mall in Tujunga Village, so they are like old friends. I rarely need the full array of products a contractor requires. It's a much easier experience than the overwhelming impersonal feeling of shopping at the bigger chain hardware stores. If all you need is a few nails or a new garden hose, you'll have a much better experience at No Ho Hardware. read more

V helpful staff Excellent inventory Easy parking Smaller than Trader Joe's parking lot yet not as hellish Nearby are lots of sandwiches I love sandwiches read more

Great staff who live in the real world, had the gear, had the knowledge, this is why small local KICK big Box ass every time! Special note, Jack is great.... read more

I have shopped at North Hollywood Hardware for nearly three decades and have always tried to support family-owned local businesses, even when prices are higher. Until recently, I considered this store a neighborhood staple. I stopped by the store on a Saturday afternoon intending to purchase another garden hose nozzle. This was my third defective brass hose nozzle purchased from this store, which is why I was asking questions before buying yet another replacement of the same old-style brass nozzle many of us grew up using to wash our parents' cars. While browsing, I also had additional items in hand totaling well over $100. When I asked questions about the nozzle, the employee assisting customers (who I later learned is the nephew of a long-time employee) repeatedly interrupted me and dismissed my questions. I then asked for brief help locating a single light bulb after already spending time searching on my own. He said he would "point me in the right direction" but needed to return to the front, then walked away mid-interaction. I set the additional items down and proceeded to check out with only the hose nozzle. While waiting, I quietly asked William whether the individual was his son, and William replied that he was his nephew. The nephew overheard this and immediately escalated the situation. He raised his voice, demanded "WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM," called me a "sad old man," and told me to "GET THE F*** OUT OF MY STORE," all in front of several other customers, who appeared visibly uncomfortable. The escalation was sudden, loud, and completely unnecessary. I attempted to de-escalate and did not engage further. I left the store and will not be returning. I contacted the owners directly by email after the incident to give them an opportunity to address the situation privately. After allowing reasonable time for a response, I did not receive one. That lack of follow-up ultimately informed my decision to share this experience publicly, as it reflects how concerns from long-standing customers are handled. read more

If you are anywhere Studio City, this place is a hidden gem! They seem to have EVERYTHING, and better than that, the Owners, Jack, James and Mr Cool Grey are super Pros! Polite, generous and just quality people. WHO NEEDS HOME DEPOT..... go support your local community by giving this business a try. You'll be impressed Dave H. Studio City read more

I often drop in here for items I need quickly. They have a good inventory for an independent hardware store and everyone is helpful and knowledgeable. I've never compared prices, but their prices seem consistent with the huge stores like Lowes and Home Depot, and the convenience can't be beat. read more

Thank goodness for a family-owned local neighborhood hardware store that still exists in this big box store world. If they don't have it, you probably don't need it. It looks small in the outside, but once inside, it's just big enough and stocked with what you need. Family owned and operated with patient and friendly staff. read more

Great local hardware store! These guys are always very knowledgeable, friendly, and they have a surprisingly good inventory for such a small shop. Always a good experience. read more

Can't say enough good about these guys. First, you walk in and they are playing classic rock at a respectable volume, like not quite a party, but that's the vibe, and all the people working there are always so nice seem genuinely happy to be there and to help you. They have always been quick and great and have a lot of selection for a small store. Last week, I lost my phone in the lot and they kept it for me and waited for me to come get it at the end of the night. Completely saved me on a really busy day. Can't thank them enough. read more

Best real hardware store in our area. This is truly a gem in the big city. Love the vibe, the rock and roll music, the friendly assistance. It may cost you a few pennies more than those big box stores... but whenever I need something I try to go here first because, come on... support this real stuff or it disappears! That would be a true shame. read more

Great neighborhood hardware store. Large inventory but the Fifth Star is awarded for the terrific background music.

My favorite hardware store. Its small and doesn't have everything, but its close and the staff is super nice. It's earned a place in the community. Plus, they play excellent music up in that joint. It's everything Home Depot isn't, except for the hardware store part. It's what's right in America. Go there if you can and spend a little money. read more

I like to support mom & pop owned stores. I'm not sure about the mom & pop owned part but, this is NOT part of a chain. I could actually spend hours inside this little gem of a hardware store. They have a little of everything and of course, all of the stuff one goes to a hardware store for which I call "grown up stuff" (nails, screws, paint brushes, THAT kinda stuff). The man that helped me was great, he was knowledgeable and helpful but, left me alone so that, I could wander the aisles and buy stuff I didn't even know I needed but, now can't live without. I highly recommend North Hollywood Hardware. read more

I've been coming here the last few years and absolutely love it. I know very little about anything hardware-related and these employees never speak down to me because of it or judge me because I'm a woman. They take their time finding exactly what I need and will talk me through any process and answer all my questions. I've actually learned so much from them! It's a kind, affordable, and friendly place to go! read more

Best hardware store in the area. The guys here are so helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. They really take the time to figure out what you need. Highly recommend for all your hardware needs! read more

So friendly and helped me find what I needed. I came in with zero knowledge but he had enough for the both of us. Fair prices. Come here instead of going to the big stores for better customer service. I didn't have to walk around the whole store desperately trying to find someone. read more

My all time favorite hardware store. The owner and staff are incredibly knowledgeable. You will be greeted with a smile and be pleased that they know where everything is in the store. They have some really obscure merchandise that is common to homes in the valley. I can send my wife or best friend (best friend pictured) and be assured that they will be taken care of with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. This is a fun place, I've been going here for over 25 years and I have never left aggravated. They have an answer for everything . read more

North Hollywood Hardware - Really dog friendly - Hardware Stores Near Me - Studio City, California

Ladies don't come here. They'll patronize you for wanting to buy a screwdriver. Not all women are dense to tools. I came in knowing exactly what I needed and patiently waited while the man assisted another customer. He then looks over at me and the screw driver and stares "umm that's really small I highly doubt it's the size you need" I told him it was and I would just like to pay so I can leave. He doubles down and says something along the lines that I didn't know what I was talking about and demanded to know the project I was working on so he could get me the right one. Now usually I don't get upset for unsolicited advice but when it comes in a condescending, rude tone while insulting my intelligence I take it personally. I wasn't asking for help. I don't know why he was hard pressed to insult my intelligence. Fun fact. My dads been a contractor for 40 years and a carpenter even longer. I grew up being taught about tools, wood work and carpentry. Now I perform all the repairs and build things for my job. Sorry if the pink LV and my Chihuahua threw you off but to assume something even after being told the patron had exactly what they were looking for is just plain rude. read more

The worm gear on my KitchenAid was worn down and I was determined to fix it myself.... I didn't quite do that, but I did make 3 visits, and was helped by 3 different workers on 3 different days, and each one of them carefully and patiently helped me. They helped me select tools I needed, and even helped me hammer the final rolling pin into the planetarium. I'll never go to another hardware store. read more

This is the best hardware store there, so friendly, so helpful they have a great selection. I even asked the employee to send me a text of the lamp I was looking for and he did which helped me so much and save me so much time I will definitely keep going back. read more

Great store. Very friendly crew knows instantly where every screw, bracket and lightbulb is, they know what you need and what product will serve you best -- and they are just fun to visit. Been going here for 30 years. read more

This is my new favorite hardware store! A family-owned and run business that went above and beyond customer service to help me with a smile! Truly, the nicest people who are experts in all departments. Thank you, Gray, and team! read more

Everyone who works there is super knowledgable and personable. If you are looking for something obscure/specific, they will probably have it! If they don't, they will help you brainstorm where/how else to find/do it. Huge light bulb selection. I saw Bill Nye The Science Guy figuring some project out with the employees there once, so you know it's gotta be good. The walls could use a dusting (if nothing else for the wonderful employees' lungs' sake), but it's still a 5 star business. read more

Great service and friendly staff! Definitely great variety and staff so willing to help.

Just wanted to leave a long overdo review for the best hardware store ever! I've been coming here for years, primarily because of the exemplary customer service. These guys are all great, but I have to say that James has helped me figure things out and find solutions for problems more times than I can count. He's gone above and beyond time and again and I'm so appreciative. Best store and the best service ever :) read more

I love this shop. I don't have my dad in town to answer my questions, teach me about everything, and help me troubleshoot. But I have this store and they always come in and save the day for me. I am blown away by their knowledge and compassion. I would feel defeated so often but I can go into the store and not only find anything I need but also troubleshoot any problem I've run into (wall anchors almost defeated me emotionally twice this year). I cannot give them higher marks for their products and customer service. SHOP LOCAL read more

They were SO friendly and helpful. And they gave my dog a treat! Super great team there. I'll come back for any house needs from here on out. read more

Love this place. HUGE selection and really knowledgeable staff. Best neighborhood hardware store you could hope for. read more

way overpriced unless your in a rush and need it bad and i mean bad you will pay 4 to 5 times home depot.

Nice, courteous KNOWLEDGABLE staff. Good music playing. Ok sized parking lot. I came here after dumbasses at Ace Hardware down the street would have caused bodily harm if I had listened to any of them! Come here & support local business! read more

Really love this place! They have a wide variety of useful products and the staff is super helpful, especially for a beginner DIY like myself. read more

Everyone here is amazing. Really helpful for whatever project you are working on. They are the closest hardware store to me and I'll go here before I go to the bigger name stores. Support local! read more

Friendly service, helpful advice, great selection of products! I picked up some batteries and had some keys cut here recently, and in the few minutes I was there, the staff helped four or five customers either find what they were looking for or help them understand what to buy and how to use it. It was awesome! The people here know their stuff, their stock, and their customers, and it's clear they like what they do. And that's a pleasure. Shop local. Shop here! read more

This is an awesome neighborhood hardware store. The people who work there are always friendly and helpful and they always have good music playing and there is just an overall awesome vibe that you just can't get at the big chain stores. The store seems tiny from the outside but walk in and it's bigger than it looks (Timelord technology?!) and the amount of inventory they have might surprise you. The layout is mostly convenient especially when it comes to screws, bolt, nuts, and other fasteners. The way they have everything organized makes it much easier to compare sizes and find the ones you need as well as their coordinating parts. I recently got a bunch of big lag screws and carriage bolts to hang some heavy gates and they were way cheaper here than at the big chain store. Very high quality, too. They have an impressive selection of lights. This isn't the best place to go if you're looking to pick up a bunch of lumber but for sandpaper, fasteners, adhesives, tools, paint supplies, electrical boxes and wiring, etc they are great. Good selection of sprinkler heads and irrigation system components, and again they are laid out in a way that makes it easy to navigate and compare. Some stuff here is a bit more expensive than it would be at Home Depot (which is understandable) and some stuff is cheaper. For me, the convenience and the atmosphere are generally worth spending an extra couple bucks but sometimes I save money here so overall I would say it balances out. I noticed a reviewer felt that these guys were being invasive by asking her about what she was working on but I suspect that might have been a misunderstanding. I'm a girl too and these guys are not condescending or patronizing. Yes - they sometimes ask questions about what kind of project you are buying stuff for, but I get the impression that they do that with the intention of starting up a conversation and possibly being helpful (and maybe with the hope of selling more stuff, but that's the nature of retail so don't hold it against them). read more

As you see from my review of True Value in North Hollywood, I prefer to visit hardware stores over giant home improvement stores because you get personal service... ...that hasn't applied for me at North Hollywood Hardware in my multiple visits. It has 1 of everything so you're covered there. You're paying more, of course, but that's to be expected. My two issues are the complete lack of customer service (outside of someone reluctantly cashing me out and using as few words as possible) and store navigation. It's a small space and as I said they have everything, but no aisles are labeled. You'll be doing some wandering, believe me. On this most recent trip, they were blasting the entire album of Alice Cooper's "Welcome to my Nightmare" so that is a plus. Their heart is in the right place...the problem is, for the consumer, we feel like we're shopping in your house to buy stuff - not exactly ideal. read more
