I just came across my old bad review, and the note about new management - and I wanted to say that I have started shopping here again, and it's a great place. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Thanks to everyone on the team.

I had ordered 2 panes of window glass for a garage over the phone. The pleasant employee took my measurement order over the phone and had the glass ready for me when I arrived within 30 minutes.
Laurel Ace has been Oakland's local hardware store, on MacArthur* for over a century.
Founded in 1921 as Key Route Hardware (when the neighborhood was known as Key Route Heights), this anchor neighborhood hardware store has remained family owned and operated with only three families – 1921-1957, 1957-2017, and now with great plans for the next hundred years of service to our neighbors and to the needs of this unique neighborhood. We've already done a complete renovation downstairs and now upstairs (we added a 2nd floor of more products!) and brought a much-needed Garden Center to The Laurel, followed by lots of ongoing improvements. Visit Laurel Ace Hardware and see what we make fit into our landmark store–you have to see it to believe it!
