“Small hardware store, but still has almost anything you need and they’ll order new products to meet the needs of the community if they don’t have something you need! The staff is super friendly and extremely helpful, especially Ali, who helped me out my first time in!”
“Like another reviewer said, coming in here is an experience. David and Peter are just two awesome guys of the community. It’s something out of a movie. The shop is chaotic and disorganized, sure. But they will go up and out of their way to ensure you get what you need and will give you the time of day for even odd hyper specific requests. I was trying to build a guitar pedalboard but make it very customized with a pretty specific thing in mind… but I didn’t really have exact dimensions. David spent off and on about 1-2 hours going through the store and talking me through what I needed and how to do it. Pros and cons. I personally think I can be annoying with some of the trying to understand the how and why but they don’t make you feel that way.
TL;DR: being in there feels like an irl sitcom while also getting very practical help and things.”
“always a good experience here
recently designed and built a custom sideboard using their reasonably priced materials and the help of easy going staff who are willing to help with anything any time”
“Needed help with door lock in new apt in NYC. Sky was recommended by my supt--and they were fantastic. Not only fixed the lock (which involved some complicated readjusting of plates and bolt) but also helped me figure out why door was continuing to stick (such that it wouldn't open) and then addressed THAT with general handyman skills at no extra charge. Fee was actually less than originally quoted. Couldn't have been nicer or more professional. Highly recommend.”
“I got my keys copied here and they were super fast, really cheap, and did a great job. If I ever need copies again, I’m definitely coming back here and nowhere else. Just keep in mind they close pretty early, so check the time before you go.”
“Love that they have the multi lock keys cut for very reasonable price. Will always return here. Awesome service and store has everything from plumbing to electrical to cleaning supplies. My new spot. God bless ?????”
“Best selection of hardware in Astoria other than going to the LIC or Lex 59th Home Depot. Prices are reasonable, $1.60 out the door for a small box of fasteners! They take credit card for sub ten dollar purchases as well.
My two gripes are 1. that not everything is labeled with a price and 2. that the hours and days of the week the store is open are limited. Other than that, no notes. Shop at local small businesses!”
“Moe also known as Mr. Key man was fast and efficient! I made a call before coming and had my key copy in my hand within minutes of arriving. He’s also super nice and welcoming. I will be back for sure!!!”
“I wish I had visited this place a long time ago when we moved. It’s not just a paint store but also a huge hardware store they carry most of anything that you need for the house. I stopped there this morning and Rich was so helpful and patient. I got the color paint I was looking for my front door.”
“truly the best hardware store around! i have taken a few keys to get copied and there was one that was pretty tricky, but they took their time to try to solve the puzzle and, in the end, it worked! such kind and great gentlemen here-- always met with a smile. love having a local hardware store; don't second guess, these guys are great! 😊🗝”
“This place is the best! Knowledgeable, friendly and patient! They are well stocked for a mom and pop shop. Been here since I was a kid. I came at closing like Banana head bad customer but they stayed open and helped me till I have every nut and bolt for an emergency job!”
“Very reasonable prices on key copies. I went to a Keyme in the supermarket the other day and it was $13 for one key, whereas here they only charge $3.50 and you get a little key ring and everything.”

“I stopped in to figure out a solution to mount my TV mount to drywall or metal studs. The shopkeeper was very patient listening to what I had tried so far and to my plan, and he offered helpful suggestions. He found screws and washers that were perfect for my situation, and after placing a handful in my hand he told me that I was good to go. I insisted on paying but he insisted that it was fine. Very nice and helpful!! :)”

“My favorite neighborhood hardware store, if I ever have a problem I will ALWAYS go here first. The guys are so helpful, ask them anything and they will give you a solution. He even helped me saw a dowel. Fair prices, good selection. Can't say enough.”
“I recently stopped by W.R. Paint Supply and just had to leave a review! Arthur is an absolute pro when it comes to copying keys—they work perfectly on the very first try. On top of that, he’s incredibly friendly, always smiling, and a really sharp-dressed guy. It makes popping into the store a total pleasure, and us ladies definitely appreciate it! ;) The customer service is simply top-notch, and you can really tell he’s the right person for the job. Highly recommend!

“This store is an amazing local hardwar store with lots of cool houseware and decorations for holidays. Not to mention the staff is wonderful and helpful. When I first moved to my apartment nearby, one of the associates offered to carry a bench I bought for my balcony for me to my new apartment. I would honestly go there more often, if only they were open on Sundays! See, Sunday is my only free day during the week, where I don't have work and less likely to have other stuff going on. It would really help both me and our community if they were open on Sundays as well.”
“Great customer service! I called ahead to tell them what I needed in my own words I told them and they guided me throughout the whole process, I needed some lumber and didn’t know the measure of the lumber at all, one of gentleman at front took his time to show me the lumber I needed to make sure if that’s the lumber I needed for my project! They have a bunch of tools there and if you need any help, they are open help you! Highly recommended! Will be coming back for my next project!”
“Personally i think we are lucky to have this store right here. Staff is great and knowledgeable and almost always find what I need.....and I don't have to do the big crowded Home Improvement stores !!! Pricing is fair and quality of product is great !!”
“Great place, everyone is very helpful, and goes out of their way to get you what you need! Even if there is a new owner, the same people still work there, and that’s what makes it special!!
Have been coming here for years, and will continue to do that. No other hardware store in the area comes close to the knowledge, experience, and expertise found here”
“Rain dew is a great local store that remind you of the old-time Woolworths. They seem to have a little bit of everything you can get candy, hardware, yarn, toys.. they have it all. Prices are great for a small local store. They even have a pharmacy. It’s great to shop local and support business in the area.”
“Best local hardware store. Jimmy the owner cares about all his customers amd extends every courtesy. He is so knowledgeable about most home and even commercial repairs or installations that its a place you can trust. Anyone with an issue can get the advice and help to tackle any job no matter your skill level. Its well worth the extra buck or two for materials because you actually have someone that knows about the jobs you need to do and the materials needed. You go to home depot and all you get is a shrug and or sorry I can't help you that's another department”
“What an incredible and truly kind store. Amazing staff, went there two times needing quick out of the box solutions and both times I felt so fortunate to be met with such professionalism and patience. No question was too small. Plus they have such a broad selection - and hands-on knowledge!! - of materials and practical solutions!
Thank you so much ! You made my day (twice)!”
“I recently had an exceptional experience with Safe House Locksmith. Donald guided me over the phone, step by step, to get our safe operating and open. His patience and frequent check-ins made the process smooth and stress-free. It was clear that he prioritizes clients by ensuring the issue was something we could easily fix before scheduling a service call. I’m truly grateful for his help and insights. I highly recommend Safe House Locksmith and will definitely reach out to them for all our future locksmith needs. Thanks, Donald!”
