My assumption is that they'll be there for you and if you aren't there for them and think only about the price tag (cost) you are killing the entrepreneurial small businesses. Unfortunately, I called about an item, got the price and availability and arrived between 1-3 mins after the posted closing time and the cashier/worker could/would not make an exception to help me. Maybe it's a store policy with San Francisco being the armpit of retail crime and they need to avoid any potential incidents. Maybe it's the litigious nature of owning a business and making transactions outside of strict operating hours outlined in insurance policies. However, in the humanity of a customer to business relationship, it's disheartening. I know many stores make exceptions. So, my disappointment probably would detour me to Home Depot for my hardware needs unfortunately. Parking is difficult with a lot of speeding vehicles and blind spots as well as Glen Park BART user congestion and traffic along with the supply and demand issue of available street parking lacking makes it a hard place to frequent unless you're a neighboring resident in the community who can walk here.

They are apparently a legacy business in the city and we are losing them due to people going online and buying everything at Jeff's Warehouse. It is sad that even people in SF can't help but be lured in by the siren sound of cheap garbage on the Internet and we have to see our local businesses shuttered. I stocked up on essentials to help them clear the shelves and wished the employees well. One of my New Year's resolutions is to stop shopping at Big Box retailers and to patronize my neighborhood's equivalent of Papenhausen. It's better for our local economies and for the environment overall.

Enter Duke's Hardware. This seemingly small hardware store tucked in between a phalanx of Chinese restaurants on Noriega will usually have just what you need without having to make that big drive out of town to Daly City or Colma. The aisles are stocked HIGH into the ceiling with tools, light bulbs and other essentials, with a bonus second story alcove with plenty of basic plumbing supplies and tools tucked way in the back. Yes, you do pay a buck or two more per item here vs. the big box stores, but it saves me time and hassle in those busy busy days where you just need to fix something right NOW. PRO TIP: Get here before 9am for easy effortless FREE angle parking right out in front. Accessible by MUNI bus line too right out in front. Verdict: This little hardware store punches well beyond its weight in getting you what you need. Yes, they do keys here too. Friendly folks you will find here right as you come in!

The team is not only knowledgeable, but they are kind, friendly and explain in a way that does not make you feel inferior in the least - even when I go in using measurements like "I think it's the length of my finger" because I didn't have time to measure properly during the busy school day. I am a science teacher and I have gone there to get materials for my STEM elective class. I have explained what I am trying to do and have gotten great advice and guidance that has worked out each time. Even if they suggest a solution that is not within my budget, they will think of an alternative that will be "good enough" for what I'm attempting to do based on my constraints. They have even given me a teacher discount to help keep the costs down, without me even asking. I encourage people to come here to support a great local business and good people. You do not get this kind of high quality service at the big box stores. Thank you, Bill, for helping me on Thursday right before closing! The middle school students used the nails to fix the broken garden beds; they asked me to pass along their thanks for your kindness and because they enjoy hammering nails into wood!

I have had such bad luck with having keys made at other places, where the keys wouldn't fit in the lock even after going back to get them re-cut (sorry, Cliffs) but they always cut keys perfectly and inexpensively here. Support all the local, mom and pop businesses in the Excelsior and come here for your hardware needs!

Highly recommend.
