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

Needed to make a copy of a key and happened to drive past. They were so nice and it was done quickly. Would recommend you guys to anyone! Thanks again! read more

First time homeowners with an older condo which needed a lot of updating. We are so tired of going to Home Depot, wandering around lost and confused. This place is a dream and makes the constant back and forth to hardware store actually enjoyable. We learned a lot. The helpful guy behind the counter saved us from making a huge mess of our condo... YouTube videos always look easy but we are no professional. They will definitely see a lot of us! read more

Best hardware store ever. They have all you need, with a great attitude and good tunes always.

Excellent customer service, great selection of products. When we need any sort or hardware/supplies this is where we go now.

Very helpful local hardware store. We had an issue with a stool and they helped us not only identify the issue (threading) but also helped us solve it in store using a plug tap. They have fair prices and it always feels great to support local. Definitely check them out. read more

I love this place. They have helped me with big projects and small projects. They've been creative with solutions when I came in asking for something unusual or challenging. They are respectful and are never demeaning or dismissive (like other hardware stores have been to me). They are friendly and they never try to sell me something I don't need. I always come here first! read more

The best! Service always goes above and beyond. They have everything I ever need and are extremely helpful. Reasonable prices, too.

Knowledgeable employees and super nice! Way more helpful staff than big chain stores. 10/10 recommend

Super friendly. Lots in stock. Came here for LED light bulbs that neither Home Depot or Target carried. Definitely my new go-to.

Every time I need something for a home project, I am able to find it here. The staff is always knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend over any of the other hardware stores in the area. Shop small, shop local. read more

I love this hardware store and the people who work here. They are always helpful and have literally everything. A million times better then the big store I shall not mention! Their music choice rocks too. read more

If your looking to be totally ignored by people who view the customers as an inconvenience, thus should be your first stop. Several customers commented on this as I was in line. read more

What a great place! They have at least two of everything you need and the guy even opened the door after hours to make me last minute keys! Seriously tops in customer service. Gotta love 'Em! read more

this guy is an angel I forgot my my wallet Bruce the owner didn't hesitate he asked me do bring the money tomorrow I was so appreciate if you need anything come to the store read more

North Hollywood Hardware - Hardware Stores Near Me - Studio City, California

Best dudes. They always have exactly what I'm looking for and even the things I don't know that I'm looking for. In my most recent experience they did me a kindness regarding a broken house key that saved me around $150. Thanks! read more

I came in looking for a fan blade to add to a new range vent motor. Since the sizing was OEM, these guys took the time to remove the fan blade from the old motor, and attach it to the new motor for me. Took a bit of elbow grease too! Saved me from buying a new kitchen range assembly. Thanks guys! read more

There are Home Depots and there are Lowes. There is OSH and there are many big time coporate stores to choose from then you are in the need of a hardware store. Then there are the mom and pops, that ask you if they can help the minute you walk in and actually mean it. They don't just point and go back to passing the time of their shift, they actually help. And I can't tell you how much that is appreciated in today's world! As a now pretty handy DIY girl, I will be the first to admit that I wasn't always this way, but thanks to alot of their tips, I now pretty much rock at home improvement projects! Nice, friendly and once again they manage to deliver that small town kindness in the midst of a big giant city and I can't support these places enough. And yeah, you can go to one of those wherehouse types of home improvement stores and save a few dimes, but I guarantee you won't get asked how that tile caulking project went a few months back either. read more

Super friendly and always helpful staff!!! When it comes to customer service, this is the exact opposite experience you get from Home Depot (where you walk around for 20 minutes just looking for a person and then when you find one they may not even be knowledgeable enough to help you.) The decor is darling with little rubber rats wearing sunglasses and I have heard this store fittingly dubbed by some of the locals "the rock n roll hardware store." Also, even though it's a small store, they seem to have a great selection and always have what I need. How do they do that!? Prices are on occasion slightly higher than their larger corporate competitors but I have to say that's understandable since they are a "Ma and Pa" and they don't move as much product. Bottom line, you are better off supporting this store. Your experience will be far richer than if you give your hard earned money to a greedy chain. Anyway, going to places with actual character enhances the quality of your life. read more

The staff here is great they are extremely nice but the prices are extremely high I got 2 peices of copper and solder total was almost 40 bucks home depot would have been less than 25 but I needed the parts for a job so I paid I needed more parts later on the next day to finish my project and i asked for 20 feet of copper when I saw the total it was 140 dollars !!!! For only 20 feet of copper ! That is outrageous I had to make a drive to home Depot to get it and spent 50 bucks huge price difference I would recommend to go elsewhere for parts this place is expensive read more

I had been putting off the simplest home repair issue for 2 months. Yup. Replacing a toilet flapper. Everyone was tired of reaching into the tank to flush the toilet. I FINALLY just picked North Hollywood Hardware off of Yelp and shot over there. They were closing in 10 mins and I told them my problem. They showed me that without the actually flapper with me I had way too many options! They told me that they would hold the store for me to race home, grab the flapper and come back. Which they did. I was so impressed with their professionalism, courtesy, and honesty. I will only come here from now on. Sold. read more

Fantastic local hardware store. Staff are knowledgeable. The small store is jammed with stock, but items are easy to find, and it appears considerable thought has been given to what should be stocked in the store. This makes North Hollywood Haredware a refreshing change from the mega box stores, and ensures I always head here first for any hardware, tool or painting needs. read more

Good place for getting keys copied. Cheap, quick and always works, unlike Home Depot.

So come to get a simple 3/4 Wilkins regulator I understand convince so willing to pay a little more wow sticker shock 157.00 Home Depot 68.71 HIRSCH pipe and supply 70.12 OSH 69.24 So not really good not just over priced but gouging. If your a contractor avoid this place. read more

I know I'm reviewing a hardware store but this place plays the best music around. Every time I stop in I hear, Pink Flioyd, Pearl Jam, Beastie Boys, Zappa, Led Zep, etc... The staff is great and they even told me a story about how Paul McCartney stopped in a few years ago to buy an ax. The place is way bigger then it looks and has everything you need without having to go to a huge Lowe's store or Home Depot. The guys here know where everything is and always help you out. But like I said it has the best music around. Raul read more

This place is very convenient and has everything. They have parts that cater to the older 30s houses that are in the neighborhood. Old time hardware store that requires the support of the local community to continue being there. Successfully running this type of operation year after year is tough. They have to charge more than the big box stores. The real estate costs more and they pay more for their inventory. You get knowledgable advice and direction, quick personal service and parts that other stores just do not have plus they are just down the street. Just don't try to park in their little lot and go have lunch. You'll be sorry, and rightfully so. Support this great bunch of guys! read more

I wish I had the same experience as all the 4 and 5 star reviews. This is my neighborhood hardware store too, and I've been there a dozen times but I have not received friendly and helpful services. I've wandered the aisles looking for what I needed with no one asking if they could help me find something . Two days ago I went to get white paint and the older white haired guy behind the counter never acknowledge me, even when I has to pass between him and the other customer with whom he was having an animated conversation about how much they hated their bosses! And they were openly mocking someone's foreign accent ! Unbelievably inappropriate and rude behavior in a business establishment! Today I purchased my paint at the friendly, clean and organized OSH store. North Hollywood Hardware needs to hire new help that knows how to behave in a business setting and give helpful customer service!!! read more

Convenient, reliable local hardware store. When you don't have the time and are not searching for a specialty item this store is ideal. While it doesn't have the inventory of a Home Depot or Lowes it also is less crowded and more personal. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. This location is literally 5 minutes from my house so it makes it very convenient when you are in a rush to get an item. read more

Throughout my foray into independent living, North Hollywood Hardware has always been there for me. When I needed a metal thingy to hook my washer into the sink, they were there. When I needed an odd-sized light bulb of an odd wattage, they were there. When I needed myriad other home improvement-related things, North Hollywood Hardware was there! The epitome of mom-and-pop, the people who work here are helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. All you have to do is tell them what your project is, and even if you can barely cough out the correct descriptive words, they will know exactly what you are talking about and exactly where it is located in the store! It's almost magical! Forget all the big chains with overwhelming aisles and often-clueless teenage customer service. Even though the place is about a third of the size of those other places, they have never not had something I needed. North Hollywood Hardware provides a quality experience where you will never go wrong. read more

This is my go to hardware store. I've been coming here for years. If you don't want the overcrowded, understaffed conditions of the larger hardware stores, then this is the place. Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff. 99% of the time they have what I need. Yes, you may pay a little more for the items but I choose to support smaller mom and pop shops and businesses.' It's nearly impossible for these small shops to compete with the larger corporate businesses that are taking over in our country. If like me, you want these kinds of shops to remain, then pay a bit more to keep them as an option. I find it fascinating how people complain about prices and then turn around and complain about being screwed over by corporations. A little common sense goes a long way. read more

Called in to ask if they had a vacuum bag type that I needed for a job desperately, got hung up on. Called back 4-5 times with no answer.

Great selection, no "superstore" lines and helpful sales people. Thats what its all about. I can always find what I need here and, honestly, if I can't, I am sure I have no idea what I am talking about and the fine sales people will help me figure it out. Sure the prices are higher than Home Depot or OSH but think of how your life expectancy will increase from not dealing with the hassle of those places [not to mention the toxic fumes]. When you add in the insane price of gas and the likelihood you will have major body damage from the parking lot at the Home Depot in Hollywood, how can you really go wrong. And you can park right by the front door. Awesome! read more

Worst experience No return even after 15 min Price are extremely high Owner has one way polices ... I will recommend you to go near coldwater and Ventura hardware read more

Always great service. Many items are stocked in a small store. Always find what I need. Get in and out fast.

This place is THE. BEST. Knowledgeable, nice people and like to enjoy life. Sure, prices may be a little higher but look at the location. And it's convenient for the peeps in the area. read more

Amazing customer service and decent product selection. Favorite neighborhood hardware store by far

Really cool guys work here and I can always get some great things for my art studio... Love them.... read more

North Hollywood Hardware - Hardware Stores Near Me - Studio City, California

When I purchased the first time had an okay time, but had a bad experience trying to return said item after it didn't work out. When I was voicing my frustration with the guy 'helping' me, all he said to me was "I don't know what to tell you lady..." not helpful at all. I hate going to big box hardware stores like Lowe's or Home Depot but they seem to be better at honoring returns and not only offering store credit when they don't have the item I need. read more

This place is great! The staff are all really knowledgeable and helpful. And usually pretty funny! I love that I can walk in and ask for the item I need and they can quickly show me where it is and give advice. It's a small store but they always have what i need. read more

My favorite small hardware store. First off, great guys running this place. And no matter what you want, THEY HAVE IT!!!! I went in one day one a lark, my wife bugging me to get a police whistle and some hummingbird feeders. Right! Go figure, the feeders? Aisle 6 in the back! Whistle, right here, and need keys? Got it covered. Good place right next to Harry's Camera right on Ventura Blvd. read more
