“Honestly I feel from reading the other comments either I got extremely lucky or this company really adjusted its values. I ordered several products from them and needless to say the process was a dream. I will definitely be ordering from them again. Great company, great prices, amazing customer service. Can’t beat it.”
“Management and staff are incredibly kind, knowledgeable and helpful. I often go with my small kiddos and they often help me load my items. Great selections, wonderful prices. If it is available at Branneky, we are getting it there.”
“The employees are so knowledgeable, curious, always wanting to help. Its definitely worth the extra .50 cents on some products. Your not walking around looking for someone that can't answer your question anyway. HD floor people need to take classes on what they are selling. Keep up the great work true value.”
“I like going to the local hardware stores to support the business.... Instead of the big hardware stores. I find it that the employees of the smaller stores TRUELY care about the products sold in there stores and wants you to get the stuff needed for the project you are working on.”
“Felt compelled to leave a review bc I came in looking for a saw being told it would be very expensive by others. Got here, a nice lady explained to me that I would need a bow saw even tho I was clearly over exolaining and she was still very patient with me. Got what I needed. It was literally 10$. I am easily taking care of these weeds that became trees now. A 600$ task that I got help to get the right tool for 10$. Si thank you.”
“I rather enjoy the opportunity to drop my man child off here for hours in the AC so he can look at and buy big boy toys for my projects. The team there is genuinely kind as well and always asks if I need help finding anything!”

Hardware Stores
“Beginner woodworker here. Let me start by saying I was kind of nervous going into the store because I’ve been to niche stores that are not very approachable towards beginners because of the knowledge gap. Luckily that was the exact opposite experience I had when I visited. Thomas helped me out, answered all my questions, help me select all the right tools and seemed genuinely and deeply interesting in woodworking. As a result my experience benefited because of he was extremely patient, kind, knowledgeable and funny during our interaction. I can’t wait to go back and get more toys.”
“Our neighborhood ACE. The staff are always friendly & attentive to customers. We greatly appreciate their personal assistance in finding just the right product for little DIY jobs at home, and we're especially happy that they have stocked a large variety of high quality spring flowers the last couple of years. We will continue to patronize this store.”
“Was looking for a gasket that would fit on the end of a 1910 bathtub waste tube. They initially said that there was nothing like that in the store but before I walked out they stopped me and said well let's look at what we might have. Found something that worked had to be a little creative with it but they put in the effort and solved my problem.”
“I will NEVER shop at Home Depot or Lowe’s again unless I’m forced to for some reason. Schnars has 10/10 customer service. Let me tell you about my great experience.I needed a new weed eater so I walked into Schnars. I was immediately greeted by a gentleman who I believe is named Jacob. Not in an aggressive sales way, but more of a helpful greeting.I set my sight on what looked like a pretty good deal, but was kindly directed to an even better deal which would save me money and get me a blower, weed eater, and 2 batteries for a great price, which turned out to be an obvious choice. They threw in a free Echo hat just because they are nice . Honestly, I needed another hat, so I was happy.Turns out I forgot the second battery that came with the set. A few hours later I was SHOCKED to see that the same gentleman showed up to my door step just to personally deliver the battery to me. Who even gives such great customer service anymore?Anyway, I felt compelled to leave this review because I’ve now been there like 10 times and have had a great experience each time.”
“Will help and answer any questions you have the worker that answered all my questions was Doug great guy I'll definitely be going back over the big stores I'd rather have a worker come ask me if I need help and not have to wonder around a big store looking for someone to ask a question and get attitude instead of the smile I got from every worker I passed here.”
“Love this store. Family owned. They are always ready to help. The place is small but packed with a lot of stuff. I like paying more because is close to my house and they help. Quick in and out. Sign up for rewards.”
“I cannot say enough good things to describe the employees in this shop. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every class I have taken at this location as well as the personalities of each employee. Five stars is not high enough. I need more stars!!”
“I love to go to this Ace. It is the place for a woman to be able to find stuff. Staff there is always helpful. Small enough store to navigate. It’s always a pleasure!!!!”
“Always there when you need serious and timely equipment and tools! I’ve never been disappointed. I’m a small company and they treat me like I’m the biggest customer they have. You cannot go wrong here!”
“Look at this Beauty! You get what you pay for! Thanks for the great customer service and that I got it in time. They were able to give me a proper quote over email and I shipped them to them right away. 2-3 weeks time frame and just in time for afternoon tea!”
“I went to Harbor Freight store -Chippewa Store: I am a business owner and I frequent the store...today was the 1st time I ever had a issue. I purchased two car jacks that were on sale the cashier was very nice, she told the manager that she needed them and he told her that they were heavy why didn't I grab them? He paused for a while 3 to 5 minutes then he went to the back and put both jacks on a dolly...he bought it to the register and just left it there...he did not help me, put them in the truck he just walked away....He was not friendly or helpful and he was very rude...I don't know why but his actions, made me never want to come in your stores again...I loaded my jacks myself and I left..Time 9:30 am 04-20-26”
“Beyer Lumber has furnished the wood for my deck project and I was extremely pleased with the quality of the wood. The contractor used commented on the high quality of the lumber against the box stores. The wood was a much better quality so I would highly recommend getting wood materials from them.”
“Great family owned store. Ward and his wife are very knowledgeable and helped me build out my new compressor. All the parts that I needed were in stock. They even helped me load it. Will go back.”
“Carter Locke worked here. He's my goat. Amazing customer service, I love the smell of paint. I always get the free popcorn and some jellybeans whenever I go by. This place is always super helpful, thank you very much.”
“I was looking for a C-clamp and they had a great selections and the prices were very good. I was impressed by everything I saw in the store and I will definitely go back if I need other tools.”
“Five Stars – A Gem of a Store and an Exceptional Family Business
I absolutely love this store. As a designer who regularly sources hardware for high-end residential projects, I can confidently say that this place is a true gem—both in product selection and in service.
Locks and Pulls is owned and operated by one of the kindest, hardest-working families I know. Their commitment to their business and to their customers is evident in everything they do. Every interaction I’ve had with their team has been a positive one—they are knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and always go the extra mile to make sure you get exactly what you need.
They carry an impressive range of hardware, from stylish and affordable options to some of the most beautiful, high-quality luxury pieces on the market. And when I’ve needed something custom? They’ve always found a way to make it happen. We've found items here that I haven’t seen anywhere else.
What truly sets them apart is their customer service. On the rare occasion when there’s been an issue with an order, it’s been resolved quickly and graciously. That level of care is rare—and so appreciated.
Supporting local businesses is important to me, and Locks and Pulls exemplifies everything that’s great about doing so. If you’re considering shopping here, don’t hesitate. You’ll be glad you did.”
“Staff is helpful and patient with my questions about various products. I haven't found anywhere in or around St. Louis that has 1/4 of the selection and I know the only hope you may have to beat the prices is rolling the dice online.”
“The staff, including Pete and Tom, are excellent! I brought in a lamp to check on parts needed for repair and both took their time and expertise to assist me with the repair. I cannot say enough about the customer service provided at this Ace Hardware location.”
“I had bought a package of the plastic ties for some use outside. Though it was cool, it was nowhere cold. As I started to work the plastic ties, I went through 10 straps breaking 5. I didn’t know if they were old from the farm supply store or a bad batch. I wrote an email which they responded very quickly to and apologized and replaced the ties with a few more for my inconvenience. What a great company and attitude!! Very rarely do you get to deal with companies like this! This has made me a true supporter of their products!”
“I've had classes there the people were awesome! And if they don't have what I need they will older it and after hours they got a convenient locker outside. So as my small business starting to grow I will continue using them. I am very satisfied the way they treat me. keep up the good work!”
“We ordered a toaster because we didn't want to buy one from a big box store, then we came back to have hedge clippers sharpened. They did such a great job that we came back with clippers. Next will be the secateurs.
Friendly, helpful folks and great music playing.”
“I only went there once as they aren't one of the supply stores that are in my usual areas, but the gentlemen there were quite helpful. I have nothing bad to say of this venue.”
“What a great store! I needed help with a previously purchased orbital sander and an employee, Renalto, didn't hesitate to help me figure out how to operate the sander, turn it on and the correct sized sanding discs. I hope his manager recognizes him in an all store meeting. Thank you!”
“I really like Menard's, they have a lil' bit of everything & they are 1 of 2 places that carries my lil' dog's food & they are close to me.
Their prices are fairly reasonable.
Everytime I visit, I am always surprised at some of the items that they carry... It's also kind of nice not having to unload ur cart, the checker does it.
I love ❤️ the selection of Watkins Seasonings & Spices that Menard's carries. They are 1 of few places that carry the variety that they do. I also love their Pet Food & Treats selection. It seems like everytime I visit Menard's, I find something that I was not looking for..I'm not sure if Menard's offers a Military Discount to Veterans?”
