Very wide selection of products at good prices. I needed a weird screw I cant find anywhere else. Really appreciate the board of screw holes for you to try your existing screw on and get the size. Perfect fit when I put it on at home!

Wonderful customer experience. Franklin was so generous and personable!

Though Im generally a fan of all hardware stores, I think Center HW is one of the best. Its well organized and stocked with quality merchandise. Plus they play great rock music. I think Ive heard Lola by the Kinks on several occasions, so theres a nice SF cultural vibe going on.

Incredible hardware store. Super helpful staff and quick to find what you need

An impressive hardware store, probably has everything the average person would ever need and more

I like this spot. The selection of hardware is comparable to the bigger chain stores. The staff was super helpful and knowledgeable. I had never been before but will definitely go again...

Most Wonderful Location ~ nicely stocked store with professional tools and hardware, my first visit and very happy with my purchases.

Wonderful hardware store with helpful staff who actually know about hardware and can point you in exactly the direction you need to find something. This is one of SFs hidden gems!

Nice place you can find anything pretty much

A great place to shop for your household needs quick repairs

Center Hardware is a great store. They have a ton of supplies, and awesome customer service. We recently needed several items for a wall mount, and they very patiently spoke to us on several phone calls to explain what we needed, and then they put the order together for curbside pickup. Joe, Sarah and Jenna were all awesome. Definitely recommend working with Center Hardware!

A great local hardware store with a whole lot of a little bit of everything!! Including a great assortment of pandemic preparedness & household products. The prices are very fair for the convenience & terrific, always friendly service.. you can’t get that at Lowe’s!!

Super helpful in explaining and guiding a newbie with a new project. Joe and Rob in particular were outstanding and made me feel welcome and supported.

Good hardware store. Bigger and deeper than a typical neighborhood shop (theres an aisle for welding and grinding, e.g.) and not exhausting to shop in like the big box horror shows. Staff are good, helpful if you need them, COVID precautions are sound.

Excellent staff and service. Jamie and Fabian went above and beyond taking care of me. Thank you

Calvin was terrific. He greeted us at the door, showed us exactly what we were looking for (a small heater), gave us his personal recommendation, and even went and got us a couple of cartridges for it. My wife was in customer service for years, and she was blown away by Calvin.

It doesn’t get better than Ctr Hdwe. Huge range of choice in everything. Best hdwe. Store in the city.

Great assortment of toolbags and power tools. I was looking for some copper fittings and found almost everything it needed. They ordered up what I wanted on the spot and let me know when the delivery would be. Friendly and helpful staff from the door monitor to the cashier.

Well stocked inventory.

Fantastic inventorysafe environmentvery good customer service

Huge selection of harware. Prices are high, though. That is the only knock

Well stocked. VERY knowledgable staff. They help you and do not run when then make eye contact *(Lowes). Clean easy in and out. Great store. A real hardware store

One of the best hardware stores in town! Friendly staff makes the visit a gentle breeze

Best hardware store on the Eastern-side of SF!Its very clean, well-organized, and the staff are very helpful and readily available to answer questions.They have a huge and very well arranged area of fasteners (screws, nuts, bolts, etc).Also there is parking right in front.I have much better shopping experiences there, than at the big-box store fairly nearby - where staff are hard to track down, and seldom have very useful information to share, which is needed since its difficult to find items in there often.

Although I love this store and the employees are always super helpful and friendly, I was a little disappointed by the complete lack of any water-based wood stains. I was hoping to get a nice dark stain for the shelving unit I bought, but ended up with an amber shellac because literally every stain they have is oil-based. Time to update to some less toxic, more eco-friendly options guys!

Really solid place! came in quick for a small part and they were prompt, capable, and curious. seems like a solid spot thats not a chain. love that.

Gotta love a hardware store where the greeter at the door can tell you instantly what aisle sandpaper, or whatever, is located. This is a great store.

Yeah I don’t mean to bore you, but yet another five star review. This hardware store isn’t near me, but I had this idea that, during the lockdown, I could make it more interesting if I try new places. I will go out of my way to come back here. I don’t know how they did it, But somehow they have a whole lot more of the right stuff than a big box store.

Well stocked Hardware Store. The workers are knowledgeable and always helpful. If I had the time I would roam the isles one by one....

Great hardware store by far. The big chain hardware stores dont have anything that Center Hardware doesnt stock. Great customer service. So glad they moved to their current location on 3rd St. Its right near my work and I have to go there often. They really take care of my staff well.

Great place to get the things you need. Great staff and great prices

Spent a half hour on the phone waiting for a simple answer if you guys carried a 1”7/16 forstner bit. Something that should take minutes to get a answer in instead I was transferred three times! Like really?!? Gave up after the half hour. Very unprofessional

Convenient to get to. Easy parking. Great place to get the things you need for your home, business and super friendly service. I know some by name and they know mine. Love going there because it’s fun.

Great selection, knowledgeable employees, willing to send you elsewhere if they dont have the product you are looking for.Somewhere between a consumer and professional focus in the store itself. Can order almost anything in terms of hardware.Expect to see contractors, home owners, city workers, people from the ggnra, Port authority, etc.Good fastener and tool selection.Prices all right for the quality of materials.I shop here a lot when I am looking for solutions to complicated problems.

Hardware heaven. Staff is fantastic. Everything is where it should be, labeled and price. So clean and organized... Love this place

Always have and always will love this place. Imagine a big box stores inventory, with a knowledgeable staff nice people and a small local feel. They have everything for your home projects

Better help this time than the last. Associates actually new where items were in the store.

In the past couple months Ive had to go in for a couple odd projects. Small jobs, replacing old fixtures and the like. Once you find someone with some knowledge in the area you need, they set themselves on a mission to solve whatever issue youve brought them. Youd be surprised what speed bumps you encounter on what seemed like a simple and tiny little replacement job. The staff here get me through every time with dedicated searching in the store for just the right part and helpful tips and hints to ensure the job gets done as pro as possible. I love this place.

Its big store with all the hardware and tools that you need to buy. They never let you down. Im so happy that we have center hardware nearby. Totally recommended.

I spend a lot of time in hardware stores. What surprises me, is that all the employees know exactly where everything is. Good prices, good customer service.

Organized inventory and helpful staff. Skip Lowes, go here instead.

Dont come here if you have a hard time not buying tools. They have an amazing tool display. Great place if you are looking for fasteners - big section.

Most of the folks who work here are so helpful and kind. I enjoy shopping here. free coffee in the paint section.

This is my go to hardware store in San Francisco. So much better than Home Depot or Lowes. The product selection is dramatically greater, and the staff knowledgeable and helpful.

Easy access and parking. Very helpful staff. Expansive Inventory for home and commercial jobs.

Got my keys copied here, staff friendly and efficient. Large hardware store.

Still the best hardware store in S.F.! Lots of hard to find stuff, well lighted, organized and staff who know whats up.New location not as cool as old location but makes up for it with better parking and lighting.

These guys have everything. Nobody hassles you it if you need help its right there. No big box chasing help down.

Best hardware in SF. Knowledgeable staff and great selection

So happy to have found this place. If youre wondering what a hardware store SHOULD look like then look no further, this is the real deal. Knowledgable, friendly staff and a superb selection. Supporting a local business never felt better. Be warned, you may easily end up buying more than you went in for.

Pretty big place. Variety of things found here. Helpful staff

Great local hardware store! Parking is easy at their new location on 3rd St.

This place is top-notch from selection, to help and even special orders. The help really tops all there is a man there named Leo who has helped me tremendously from finding ordinary everyday stuff down to special orders highly recommended to all.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. It changed location from its home of over 100 years, but has kept the great service.

Its GREAT! I must discovered Center Hardware a few weels ago. It is fast superior than not both Home Depot & Lowes.It is so clean, organized and the customer service is fantastic. Example; have you even needed to replace a hard to find specialty Fastener? Metric anything? And you dig and dig through drawer after drawer.... And nothing is where its labeled where it should be. Well Center HW is the complete opposite.Check it out... It will cure your big box home goods store blues.😊👍

Im a firm and deliberate screwer, so when faced with a loose sloppy hole, center hardware always has what i need to ensure im satisfied.

Fantastic local hardware store. friendly & helpful staff, usually easy to get in & out of quickly.

Definitely the best!!!!

I LOVE this place. I am never going to another hardware store unless these guys are closed. And even then Im going to think about it

Aside from the fact that youll be followed around the store! I love their tool offerings, they have a good selection of hand tools, and hard to find items. Parking is a nightmare, I overall like the service and selection. I have come here many years! I recommend.

Excellent service they have every bolt screw imaginable well organized clean definitely a go to place.

They had exactly what I was looking for.

Everything you need but pricey

Easy to find things! Very helpful employees!

Big hardware store, catering more towards contractors and institutions than homeowners & other individuals. Helpful staff, and good variety of items within the categories that they do stock. A bit tricky to walk to with the freeway traffic streaming by in front, and the parking area extending right up to their front door.

Great hardware store. The staff knows where everything is, and knows how to use it. Prices are high because they stock everything. The antithesis of the big box stores

A great hardware store. All you would ever need for hardware is right here!

Great service and usually have what I need. Just wish they were open later.

They have a great selection of tools and a good selection of hardware

A great place to take care of all your Hardware needs

Excellent service! Jamie is the best!

Great varietyGreat Service by all the attendants, I have to note they do keep an amazing sock of quality items. Love it

Center hardware is a gem, exemplifying the value of a local hardware store over a big box. However much youve loved your local hardware store before, this one is a cut above. The people at Center are always incredibly helpful and knowledgable, the variety of items available is always impressive, and on the rare occasion that they dont have what youre looking for, theyll point you to the right local business to find it. So many of my projects, both home and technical, have leveraged Center as a starting (and often finishing) point.Stabila levels, Yeti coolers, and other top notch products are hiding all over the store, but youll also find bulk sandpaper and a broad range of household cleaning supplies. It can be daunting when you walk into a store so dense, but just ask anyone there. Youll find that your visits to the hardware store are quick, painless, and effective.Honestly. Just go. its a great hardware store.

By far best hardware supplier. Fastener selection is gigantic. I was looking for fine threaded bolts...they have it all. And much more. Forget Home Depot and the others, this is THE place.

By far the best selection of fasteners and tools in SF. It can be a bit more per item than other hardware stores, but its totally worth it, in my view, as youll make one trip to find what you need instead of many.

Great fast service like a corner store even if its large and well stocked.

Surprisingly excellent selection for a neighborhood hardware store. Very helpful staff, dont hesitate to ask for help. They may not approach you to ask if you need help but if you do, just ask, they will guide you to exactly what you need. About 4 years ago, I got my makita cordless drill here on sale, at an excellent price for one of my most used tools. They had so many options of cordless drills, it was a bit overwhelming to try to choose. I asked the staff for help and got great advice. I LOVE my drill. It couldnt be more perfect for me. This is also the best place I know to get gaffers tape, work gloves, dust masks, garbage cans, stuff for cleaning up oil spills, etc. You might think a big store like lowes or home depot would have better selection, but I havent found that to be the case.

Great selection, knowledgeable staff!

I love this place! The staff is so helpful and kind and the store is well organized with a great variety of everyday essentials.

Friendly and knowledgeable hardware store. They have really great service, and thousands of items.This is the hardware store for artists; if you need help figuring out a project,they are very helpful and creative.

Huge selection of this and that, the staff is friendly and will help you find what you came for.

The best hardware store around, nice service ery friendly and congenial help and a great array of all hardware needs. New location is is a pleasure to shop.

Best hardware store ever. Staff very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

Great hardware store! Knowledgeable, friendly, and have what you need.

They had exactly what I was looking for they have excellent service and I didnt think there was anything wrong with the parking

Great service

Time is precious and you save big time at Center Hardware . No need too trivial for their friendly staff to help you fill

One of the best hardware stores in SF. Small business. They are comparable to home Depot

Pretty great

Great 👌

Huge selection, friendly service. Great to have a hardware store like this in the neighborhood.

Dont go to Lowes. Center Hardware is far and away better.

Very helpful staff...good prices,

Best hardware store in SF for fastners!

The best hardware store in The Bay.

Ive been to a dozen hardware stores in the city and this has the best tool/hardware selection.

Great local spot for all your hardware needs. I havent yet come across anything I needed that they would not have.

Great customer service.

Great hardware store!

Great selection of hardware and bolts.
