“Great place! Always helpful and they have everything you’d find in Home Depot or Lowe’s. Bud difference between is that you can actually get someone to help you.”
“Incredible local store. Very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind staff. The man at the counter helped me find exactly what I was looking for, and then some. ;) Lots of older USA-made stock; great when you have something like a light fixture from an older era that you want to carry NOS spare parts for.”
“Great relic that is also very functional... They are the ONLY supplier in the city that carries Limeworks products for historical pointing. Love coming here. Chestnut Hill is one of my favorite parts of Philadelphia!”
“Imagine walking into a hardware or improvement store and always having assistance and knowledge immediately available instead of wondering around and hoping someone will not only help you but know what they are talking about.
That’s exactly what Blaise and the team at 3rd St Hardware serve up every time we are in a pinch to complete a project or need suggestions on how to tackle a new one.
Since joining the neighborhood, we have been so grateful this shop exists and we aren’t relegated to only a big-box experience.
Thank you Blaise and everyone at 3rd St Hardware!”
“The store itself is great, but there’s nothing better than an extremely hard working associate (Tom the cat) that never fails to greet us. On a real note, we do love seeing the cat when we visit and the place is very nice and organized.”
“The staff were super friendly and helpful. Gave me suggestions for secondary options if the part I purchased didn't meet my satisfaction, once I took it home.”
“Eli and Crystal were super helpful opening my HF card, getting me VIP and completing my purchase. I love having an option where you can actually get the help you need when you need it vs those other retailers.”
“Want to talk to an employee who actually knows what they carry and provide you with intelligent advice? This is the place! Despite their small footprint, I've yet to walk out without what I needed; they've got it all! And their prices are competitive to the big box stores. You won't be disappointed. These guys are the best!!”
“The new plexiglass window and rescreening of an old screen was done in in excellence, in record time (same day), and the cost was moderate. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable; they knew their stuff. I will be back again.”
“Fairmount Hardware is a neighborhood institution, with good reason. Dave, the owner, goes out of his way to help non-professionals with their projects, large and small. He wired a lamp for me, he also cut glass to put in a frame I had, saving me the expense of having a framer do it.
I think he tries to impart to the young people he hires to work in the hardware store as much of his wisdom as possible. Yesterday, he instructed a young trainee as to how to remove a bit of rust on a porcelain plaque I brought in.
Today, another trainee made a great suggestion as to how I might attach the plaque to a Target basket with wingbolt nuts and butterfly screws, rather than the furniture nails I’d bought the day before.
The clerk at the cash register gave me a credit for the unused furniture nails I had bought the day before and deducted the cost of the two wingbolt nut and screws —you cannot get better service than that anywhere.
Hail Dave and his team!”
“Just wanted to thank Louis Jr. for finding the Toro zero turn lawn mower that I was looking for. Excellent customer service. Wish you were closer to Feasterville.”
“Harbor freight has become my go-to for any tools needs I have. The prices are exceptionally good and the quality of product has been excellent. I was dubious of how good the products could be considering they were so much less than other.big box stores, but I've had several tools for a couple of years and they are still working as good as when I got them”
“I do maintenance around the block. This is the Best neighborhood hardware store. Very reasonable prices, great service. I can find here almost anything I need. Saves me a lot of trips to Home Depot.”
“After a horrendous experience at a Southampton Ace store I drove up and had the complete opposite experience. They had everything I needed and three different people offered help with I smile. This is my new go to hardware store!”
“Had to go here today for a real estate issue with a lock. This hardware store had just what I needed and saved me a trip. Good customer service, decent prices, quality products. Thanks to the gentleman who assisted me and taught me how to use the tool I needed correctly.

“Chris made the process of getting started super easy. Had Charles and Javi set everything up at the house. They were both super friendly and respectful. Answered all questions we had and did a wonderful job! Highly recommend◡̈”
“I was in the store on 11/10/2023 and I came back because I had very good service last time. The person who helped me was really nice and very helpful. This place is a hidden gem.”
“To start- I live in west philly. I drive to this hardware store because they are so sweet and accommodating every time I go. They try to speak to people who only speak Spanish in Spanish. Just all around great hardware store that reminds me of the right small town feel. I order my HVAC filters here, I get my plumbing supplies here. Support small hardware stores!!!!!”
“Very friendly, helpful customer service. There’s a little bit of everything here with good, competitive prices. Prices are about equal to big online retailers, with the bonus of supporting local business! So thankful to have a place like this so close to my home.”
“Hatboro Lumber is a great asset to our community. We have used their services for over 25 years. Quality products, fairly priced, good customer service. Have been very pleased through the years!”
“Very Helpful staff. I’ve shopped there when I was doing a job up the street. They have just about everything. I had some questions about a custom hydraulic hose and they gave me directions to a store in maple shade that was also delightful. Great people. highly recommended”
“Great service,great selection without the long lines.Neighborhood hardware store who knows your name.Supporting local businesses is very important to your community.Same owners for 2 generations they must be doing something right”
“Great local hardware store, with a good selection of paint colors to choose from. I stopped by just for paint, and the employee who helped me was very nice. I appreciated not being overly talked to, and he was quick with getting my paint all mixed together. It's nice to have a store in the neighborhood that's easy to walk to.”
“Convenient to my residence but much too small of a space for the amount of product the store carries, and as a result organization and claustrophobia can often become a problem. Several times it’s taken 5-10 minutes to locate an employee when I’ve had questions or am ready to complete a purchase.”
“The Hardware's are my forte you never know what they might have what you might need or just to shop and look around I like Hardware better than those big bucks stores stop by check it out and help help out the little guy”
“I am satisfied with the variety available at this store and their amazing low prices. There are many household items and some are good quality too. Would recommend for anyone just moving into a new place to shop here. They have everything.
Note that some of the pre- packaged food/snack items are close to their manufacturer’s expiration date and are therefore heavily discounted. Other items have a longer shelf time available.”
“The place was organized the store was well lit the staff was fast n helpful. They had what i needed and knew how to locate the item swiftly. The prices where ok. The parking seem to be my only problem. I had to park in a bus only zone and run in and out wich with the stores help I was in and out but there's no parking only on the side streets wich are always packed. All in all the experience here was ok no hassles waits or worries.”
“They are always pretty helpful to me.
Edit: once again they saved me from having to hire a plumber! I can show up not knowing the lingo or with a picture of what is wrong and they have always steered me in the right direction. Thankful to have them in the neighborhood.”
“If you want cold, sterile and unhelpful- go anywhere else. If you want to be treated like a valuable human, Stanley's is the place to go.
When you walk in, they ask how they can help you. When you tell them, they will explain any other supplies you may need as well. They are the perfect consultants. We also had an antique lamp that required some repairs. Someone else wanted to take it home as a side project. It came out far better than we expected.
On top of hiring locals and having staff who have been around for ages, it's a breath of fresh air going in there. I can't recommend them enough.”
