My contractor recommended Wink's because I was looking for some special bi-fold door hinges [they…read moreopen a full 180 degrees so the doors can lay flat against the wall]. After some discussion amongst themselves they found them! Unbelievable! Couldn't be happier. I was also looking for some really unique bi-fold door hardware that Wink's did not have but they directed me to National Builders' Hardware right around the corner and they had them. I will be frequenting Wink's and NBH from now on.

I thought we found a great place to find parts locally instead of ordering online. I asked if they…read morehad replacement parts for my AC unit. They said yes but had to order it in the next day. After we purchased the part and left we realized it was not the direct replacement but a universal part. When we got home and tried to use the part to replace our broken one it would not function after 8 hours of trouble shooting we decided to order an actual direct replacement online for a 5th of the cost of the one they sold us. We wanted to make sure it was not the part before we tried to return it (maybe something else was malfunctioning). When the new part finally arrived 2 weeks later. It took 5 minute to install and the ac works fantastic. So it was the universal part that was not working. I called to see if we could get even a partial refund. When I called the person working was incredibly rude. They kept speaking over me when I was simply asking about the possibility of a refund. They will not take refunds without the receipt which is fair. I know they also had a copy but he said they only use those to look up warranty info. I think in 2026 that is an ancient business practice, but again their choice. I was calm and kind on the phone and was not treated well at all. Even if I can find the receipt, they do not accept returns after 14 days even though the part did not work. So sad to say we will not take any of our business back there due to the lack of customer service and part that did not function.

Although we weren't looking for hardware items for purchase, the hipponess was enough to pique our interest. It's a cool multi-level store with antique and vintage style fixings for door restoration projects, chandeliers, clawbaths and other bathroom fixtures, door handles, locks and such. They have a huge personal collection of hippos and eccentric items woven throughout the store. The staff were all friendly and gave my friend and I the best history of the Hippo Hardware name and store.

I bet it's a blast to work here. The man at the register was talking excessively to customers to…read morethe point of them trying to walk away, looking very uncomfortable. I placed a pick up order from online and the cashier called the pick up order to be brought forward. The customer service and cashier argued back and forth about whether or not I even placed the order or was at the right store. I confirmed the information through the cashier while he was quite literally hacking up a lung. I can only assume how condescending the customer service people were with how the cashier was also sour to me. Eventually someone else came up to take the line and told me I could go back and they'd fulfill my order. Dumb and dummer were trying to redirect me to purchase a different bag of salt even though I'd already paid for what I wasn't getting. The system ace hardware was pretty stupid and this review isn't about how they couldn't fulfill my order, I don't blame the customer service people for the mix up because that was out of their control. The customer service employees (several. Very braindead expressions) just shrugged and said the only thing to do was cancel the order through my phone. Thank you for reading this novel of a review. Probably a sitcom working there and free entertainment to shoppers. Expect no service. A man was also waiting (from the time I arrived in the store until a little before I left) for a case to be unlocked. Surprising it took so long to help the man considering the group of 19 year old alternative kids in the back.

BEWARE DIVISION HARDWARE REPAIRS…read more An employee of Division Hardware (37th & Division) who does all the repair work RUINED my screen door, charged me $500, said they would be back to fix it, doesn't answer texts, store owner doesn't care. My screen door came back banged up and missing a chunk of wood; the screens almost immediately came out; the trim wood is falling off; the stain is splotchy, uneven, and missing in spots. They also busted the door lock but I went to Hippo and they fixed that. I would avoid this store for repairs if i were you because they do the worst work I've ever encountered and don't stand behind it either.
