I don't know if they're ever open. We've now gone three times, from Westlake Village and they're not open during the business hours listed. I've called every day and they still haven't answered. Super bummed. I used to go 15 years ago to get anything I needed for my house. read more

Awesome hardware store! So many vintage and replica knobs and plates. Rick and Sherry are super cool, knowledgeable, and nice!

Horrible costumer service. The owner was really rude. Unfortunately cannot recommend. I live nearby and thought this would be a great shop to support but immediately got treated with an attitude read more

Great place to go to get door knob issues fixed! Rick is super knowledgable and able, he fixed the mechanisms in my door knobs and now my doors work (and aren't driving me nuts)! I was really happy he could fix them rather than have to replace the entire lock set. It is a pretty cool store, if you've never been inside, fun to check out, so much stuff, old and new. Glad places like this still exist! read more

Amazing store. Almost everything is vintage and if you need something custom, this is the only place you can find it from. Most of the stuff came from the studios. Rick is a great dude. read more

If you are looking for knobs, key fixtures and other hardware, Rick's is the place. With a huge selection of fixtures, you are sure to find what you need. Stopped by with a friend looking for some items for his home, he found everything he needed in one shop. read more

Rick's Hardware - Vintage hardware for homes - Hardware Stores Near Me - North Hollywood, California

This place is so awesome. It should be called the knob shop or the door knob palace or something because it has 1 billion door knobs. Vintage, new, modern, etc. Hit is a really cool place. read more

Rick is a life savor. After endless Amazon searches, replacements and returns, then the far edges of internet stores, and more returns and back orders, and fruitless Home Depot trips... I wasn't sure where in the world to find door hardware for a 3" thick door. Thank goodness I did a google search and found him local to LA area. He did in a couple of hours what I couldn't find for 3 weeks. Thank you!!! 3" thick door kit; deadbolt and passage knob in black! read more

The owner Rick is so knowledgeable everything that has to do with locks I can't even imagine myself going to a different hardware store or a locksmith been purchasing all my home locks from this place not once I've ever gotten a reason to complain so if I can put 10 stars I will pretend stars read more

Such a cool store. Way better priced and more inventory than Liz's hardware on the other side of the city. The owner Rick is a really cool guy. He has so much knowledge on hardwares. You can find top quality products with fair price points there. read more

Rick's Hardware - Cabinet handle 2 - Hardware Stores Near Me - North Hollywood, California

See all

If you have an old home or want vintage and unique and understand that Rick's isn't a chain (thank you, God) this is a hardware goldmine ... I needed ball finials for my door hinges. I didn't even know what they were called until way too much Google time. Found the manufacturer who told me of a distributor. The guy acted like I was asking him to scale a glass wall naked in the rain. WAIT!!!!! RICK'S! This is where I bought my hinges and door knobs and drawer pulls and.... Went in... showed them what I needed... walked out 5 minutes later goods in hand. I didn't even need to know what they were called. Thank you, Rick's. You're the best. read more

Rick's Hardware - ball finial - Hardware Stores Near Me - North Hollywood, California

So many fabulous items to choose from and pretty good prices. It is a hardware Wonderland.

I have owned and renovated old houses for over 3 decades. I have spent a lot of time looking for old hardware. I won't list the other places you can go In the greater LA area, but this place is probably the best for price to quality of item. It's a small shop that is packed with hardware. Packed! And it takes a moment or two to find what you need, but it's likely there. I love this place. Please shop here. Keep them open. read more

This is an actual goldmine. Not only do they have ALL the vintage hardware, but there is an actual Rick and he is a legit genius at fixing hardware and advising on installation. A lot of their work is for the studios, so they have a selection of stunning, dramatic pieces in styles from Western to French Normandie to MCM to adobe. They fixed a period doorset three locksmiths had given up on and help me find a gorgeous set of replacement handles for some 70s-era bifold doors, which included a phone conference with my handyman to select the appropriate fittings. I've done a ton of remodeling and only wish I'd discovered Rick's earlier. I'll be a regular from now on. read more

I own an authentic Spanish home in Toluca Lake and needed some older hardware for a door. Found it easily at Ricks! And pricing was fair. read more

Rick's Hardware - Front of Ricks! - Hardware Stores Near Me - North Hollywood, California

This is such a great place. They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Found some obscure parts for a set of Gaudi reproduction french door handles that I bought in Barcelona, Spain. Obviously, I couldn't go back to the seller when I finally had them installed 3 years later. They have been servicing the movie industry since, well, forever. So glad I finally got to go in and meet this entertainment industry legend. Thanks Rick! Also, they have an incredible stock of vintage hardware: door knobs, escutcheon plates, drawer pulls, handles, whatever! Check it out. read more

Old school great service! Aside from having pretty much any vintage door hardware imaginable Rick and his team provide friendly service and quality repair. Today was my first visit. I'm looking forward to having a reason to come back! read more

I called to find out if they carry certain style door hardware. Rude woman over the phone told me to come in and find out as she's too lazy to check her inventory. Really?? How are you even in business??? Should change the name to Dicks hardware. Haven't heard anyone this rude trying to stay in business in years read more

A treasure trove for unfindable stuff. This place really feels like a hidden treasure.

I wouldn't come here if I didn't have to. Ricks is a great place to get some obscure or hard to find locksmith stuff. However the customer service is lacking . I read more

The amount of hardware (like actual hardware) in this place was overwhelming (as in an amazing selection) and should definitely be your first stop if this is what you're looking for. I also found the staff to be incredibly helpful, especially when I was looking to have some keys made, which they used to do but do not anymore. Yes, I had read several reviews saying how wonderful their key-making was, but they don't do it anymore. :( That said, they sent me to Anawalt Lumber, which was fantastic and I got just what I needed. read more

Do you need some obscure or vintage doodad for your house? Pretty well guaranteed that Rick's has it. We needed a latch plate for one of our doors (house built in 1930) and they had exactly what we wanted. Honestly, I could spend an afternoon poking through all the amazing items in there, and the help from the employees couldn't be beat. read more

Well don't I feel like a sucka! So I was looking for a hardware store to get nailed at, sorry, to buy nails at and I saw the listing for Rick's Hardware. I thought poifect, it's right near the rest of my errands so I'll check it out. Come to find out that this is no "hardware" store, it is in fact a store that sells hard wares, such as door knobs, door handles, hinges and decorative things of that nature. And while I was bummed because they didn't have what I originally came in for, I do now know of a most fantastic resource for neat things of this nature for the home. So if you are remodeling your house, restoring an old cabinet or just want a grand door handle for your one bedroom rent controlled flat, then here ya go! Rick's is the place! read more

When I walked into Rick's hardware store I felt as if I were playing a role in the opening of a Never Ending Story film, just one magical key hole away from Fantasia. These guys have everything door related from 1800's solid brass door knobs to hand crank doorbells. The selection is unlike anything I had ever seen before and the owners know their stuff. For those who are in the movie industry, you may find their rentals to be a good solution for some detailed set design. Rick's is a truly unique store that will have you saying 'whoa' from the second you walk in. read more

Rick's Hardware - Cronos device of sorts. - Hardware Stores Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I absolutely adore Sheri and Rick. They do such great service and give great turn around times. If you need any particular door hardware that may even seem hard to get, they'll get it to you with speed and accuracy. Not as expensive compared to other companies such as rockymountain, omnia, emtek, deltana, etc etc. read more

Amazing place for any locksmith to go. They have just about every lock that no one else has. Very impressive. I have a locksmith school and many times we have to teach its-hard to find many replacements, but now I know about this place! Great pricing g too:-) read more

Definitely the best hardware store in all of Los Angeles. I will always to go Rick's for all my hardware needs. They have an enormous stock in store and in the unlikely event that they do not have what you need, they will go through great lengths to help you obtain it. They are so reliable and helpful and I love Rick and Sheri so much!!! read more

What a gem. This place is fantastic. Was able to locate latches that are no longer manufactured.

It's human nature to categorize everything, even the things that can't be. Calling Rick's a "hardware store" is a good example. Yes, it's a "store" because stuff is kept there "stored" and yes, you can buy the stuff like any other store. And yes, the stuff of which we speak is in fact "hardware," but shopping at Rick's is like entering a sort of museum of knobs, and escutcheons. If you ever wanted a little taste of what it would be like to be a part of the film biz, then go to Rick's. Here you see not just one, but a selection of doorknobs that a set designer might use to have Abe Lincoln turn to enter the Oval Office in the old White House. Or, a skeleton key not just used to open any lock, but used by skeletons to opening locks to secret treasure troves they horded while alive. If movies are made of dreams, then Ricks has the stuff that dreams are made of. I'd take a tour, at least. read more

They have a lot of hardware to fix old houses. Most of it is laying out where you can look through bins to find what you need.

Rick's Hardware has an amazing selection of vintage hardware, in addition to being a dealer for all the major hinge & knob manufacturers. It's like a well-organized garage of antique fixtures and new catalogs all in one store. Pricing & customer service couldn't be better, even for relatively small orders. I bought kitchen hardware and door hinges when I remodeled my kitchen & Rick remembered me when I went back three years later. Rick's is the only place I would go for this type of stuff. read more

All the previous reviews are correct... The location. Great! The price. Reasonable and comparable! The selection. Great! They have the hard to find stuff, yes! BUT, Im not sure what it was, while Sheri was very nice, my two visits to drop off and pick up were cold with Mr. Rick. The shortness and tone was uncalled for. Although, Sheri did not call me back like she thought she had to tell me my repair was ready, she at least tried her best to play it off as though she did. Rick commented in the background that yes, they did speak with "someone", which is not true, because I only gave them my number written clearly on the box. Overall bad vibe I received when I walked in. The tone only slightly improved with Rick when he realized I manage a 50 unit building around the corner. By then the damage was done. I compared his quote with another local place to order from, and the other place does not charge me shipping fees. Wish this experience was better because I've admired from their window the charm and antiquity of their inventory for some time now. I will drive the extra couple of miles to Burbank to get what I need next time than deal with that attitude again. I can guess a couple reasons why I was treated that way, but I'm trying not to let my imagination to get the best of me. read more

I needed replacement doorknobs for our vintage bathroom door with vintage mechanism. I showed Rick what I had and he told me what I needed, went thru several boxes and came up with exactly what I needed and a proper lock to boot, which was a combination of old and new vintage style parts. He went to a lot of trouble and effort to do it, cleaned it all up and even let me trade in the old ones. This place is the real deal - family owned, great service and selection. Highly recommend Rick's. read more

I visited this store on Monday and this place is fantastic. I had a blast looking through their stuff. Extremely nice people and the prices are very reasonable. My new favorite place. Can't wait to go back and dig through all of the stuff. read more

Love this Place!!!! They have tons of cool stuff at every price point. The customer service is exceptional as well. They worked with me to find a solution to bolt some antique door knobs to a board to make a coat rack. They helped me find the right pieces, showed me alternatives that were more in my budget, and rigged up the hardware so that I could easily put it together when I got home. Thank you guys!!! I will definitely be back. read more

Rick's Hardware - I made this awesome coat rack to hang my hoodies and umbrella's on with the help of Rock's Hardware! Thanks for the help guys! - Hardware Stores Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I was looking for mortise lock keys for my old 1920's locks. I brought in the lock mechanism and they had plenty of old and new skeleton keys to fit. The price per key ranged from $8-$12 but much better than getting a locksmith in! read more

Amazing selection. Excellent customer service. Exceeded my expectations. I've had 3 different locksmiths tell me that I needed to replace my mortise lock to the tune of $600+. Turns out that I just needed a new screw because the old one was stripped (probably by someone using the wrong tool to tighten it). Rick's had the screw and the proper Allen wrench needed to fix the problem. I had a solution in 5 mins but stayed a little longer to browse the shiny things. Very happy customer! read more

This place is the best! Rick is the best! Super caring owners, really knowledgeable. So glad we have this gem so close by.

Very nice people, excellent selection of rare parts, reasonable prices, etc., etc. Note: they aren't open on weekends, but it's worth going during the week. read more
