Ace had what I needed urgently, I got in with 4 minutes before closing. The store team are awesome.I was pleasantly shocked for the fact that this Ace is also a full grocery store.”

“Designer’s Brass Inc. is one of those rare Bay Area businesses that reminds you why long standing local companies matter. I went in looking for a difficult old hardware part, and I was honestly blown away by the knowledge, the selection, and the customer service. This is not the kind of place where you are forced to order something online and hope it fits. You walk in, explain what you need, and they actually understand old hardware, new hardware, specialty locks, brass parts, decorative hardware, and pieces you would never find in a regular store. The facility itself is incredible. So much to see. So many parts. New, old, specialty, hard to find, and beautifully made hardware everywhere. It is the kind of place that only exists because of decades of experience and real commitment to customers. I feel very fortunate that we still have a company like this in the Bay Area. Knowledgeable, courteous, well stocked, and still doing business the old fashioned way, with real people, real inventory, and real service. Designer’s Brass Inc. 280 El Camino Real, San Bruno”
