McFadden-Dale Hardware

This place has everything!!! A little hard to find but they will have what you need!!!

Very helpful non intimidating warm no frills. An associate at Home Depot-​Brea recommended this spot as they were out of the hex bolt that I needed for our TV mount.
I was a little bit intimidated since this place seemed like a ‘real’ hardware store and not so much a bigbox sort of everything store.
Luckily when walked into this small store the first gentleman I saw greeted me warmly and asked me if I needed anything. Yes! I advised him that Home Depot was out of the bolt that I need and recommended that I come here… he stopped me and immediately directed me to the appropriate aisle.
I got my funny hex bolt and was able to be in and out in a few minutes. I’m so appreciative that the staff here is helpful and non intimidating. I would absolutely come back here for any of my hardware needs, it was nice to be in a smaller store where the associates have time to really help.

i miss this place. best hardware store i ever been to. i occasionally make the drive from the west side to oc just to get my metric fix.

I needed a garage door spring. I called to ask of they have them in store. The person I talked to was very helpful, and advised me to bring my old one to match it up. I get to the store and was informed that they don’t carry these in the store. I was told that those are sold online only. Definitely a miscommunication somehow. They shouldn’t have people on the phone that don’t know what they are talking about. So I go home and look at their website; the prices are double what you will pay from amazon. I was willing to pay more so I could have one today, but that’s okay. I got one for half price and only had to wait one additional day. For nuts and bolts this place is great, anything else is found online for much less.

If you ever need anything hardware… McFadden-​Dale Industrial Hardware is the place to go. Metric, stainless steel cap screws that replace old corroded ones on your motorcycle engine cases… or the rubber «well nuts» that hold my motorcycle body parts in place that Ducati wanted $ 5 a piece for… and found the exact part for $ 1.15…McFadden — Dale had the 20 pieces I needed… saved me $ 80. I walk up and down the aisles window shopping for my next project needs. And the guys behind the counter know the store like the back of their hand… they can help you find everything. And if they don’t have it… they know where to find it… saving you from running all over town. I’ve only gone to the Anaheim store, but I would not hesitate going to any of their other 4 locations in So Cal.

None

Super cool, old school style hardware store. Knowledgable employees and they have Everything you need. I wish there was one closer to my home.

This place has gotten better since my last review so I feel they deserve an update.

This place has everything you need hardware wise. From the smallest bolt to the biggest wrench. I’ve been here a couple of times and I’ve always found exactly what I’m looking for. If you don’t know exactly what you need the staff is very knowledgeable and will help you or guide you in the right direction.

I went in today to get a stainless steel screw for my Smith and Wesson J frame grips.
The staff was extremely helpful.
I will be returning for future project needs

On a sunny afternoon, I was cruisin’ 55 on La Palma Ave to the closest 7 – 11 in desperate need of Colt 45 and band-​aids. Fortunately, I never got to 7 – 11, but I found everything I needed at the hardware store.
McFadden-Dale’s logo captures the confusion of color and motion. It turns any driver into a rubber-​necker and draws you in. Now after you’ve asked, «How long has this been going on… how did I miss it… do they have other locations as terrific as this one» (sure they do)…you have become a full fledged member of the store’s fan club. Welcome brother, and continue reading.
Upon walking in, you start to wonder what-​in-​the-​world kind of fellow runs this place. Surprise… the manager is a husky guy who could make bow knots out of iron bars. He also surrounded himself with other talented craftsmen who «dug» his a doer not a talker personality.
These guys knew exactly what I needed when I explained the problem faced. I wanted to construct a metal cage for my Honda Civic rear seat. I live on a small family farm and often need to transport large amounts of chickens. It is incredibly hard to drive when you have two-​hundred loose chickens going crazy in your cockpit. Having no A/​C, it is also hard to keep the windows open.
The guy walked outside and measured the area for me. He sold me exact amount of fencing material, brackets, and bolts. Good thing I listened to the guy and got mustard color spray paint to make the cage match the car. I couldn’t be any happier with the results. All my friends are now jealous because it looks like the cage was an option that came with the car.
My next project is making my trunk soundproof. I hate the looks I get from people while filling up at the gas stations. But I can’t really make the chickens make any less noise otherwise. With a little help from the McFadden-​Dale, I can take on any project. Thanks!

Yes they do have everything one may need in a industrial hardware store. Where they fall way short is in customer service. I have been going to their store for over twenty five years, the only reason is because there is no other alternative for those specialty items. If there was and their attitudes where better I would drop M/​D in a heartbeat. These guys for the most part have little to no customer service ability, they are rude, arrogant and act like they are the only game in town. Hmmm maybe I will open a store…

A REAL hardware store! Like Ralph W said all they are missing is a brew then they’d be a double 5 star shop!
I needed a special screw for a Japanese fishing reel. I didn’t even think about it I pointed my truck right down LaPalma Ave. (other locations too) And they had just what I needed. I use them for work all of the time. Not the cheapest but the best overall hardware around.
Need a specialty fastener?
8.5 mm 316 SS cap screw? 4″ zinc lag bolt? Bronze pipe fittings? ¼−28×2.5″ bolts with built in nylock? Look no further. McFadden-​Dale is your spot.
Specialty tools? .
093 2′ long x 1 degree tapered end mill? 3′ strap wrench? New Starrett micrometer or depth gauge? Look no further. McFadden-​Dale is your spot.
Misc Hardware? Electrical? Plumbing? Abrasives? and so much more!
Best of all is the guys who work there. Some have been doing it for decades. They really know their stuff and are always glad to assist you unlike the stooges at Lowes or HD who spend most of the time dodging you.
5 star local company, wish I could give them more!

AW HELL YEAH!
A REAL hardware store!
Home Depot didn’t have what I was looking for and after trying to locate it for about an hour I found someone who knew where I could get what’s called a «speednut» (I thought I was a speednut =P).
McFadden is the «No BULL$#!T hardware store where people actually know what they are talking about.
I like.
Guess where I’m going from now on for all my home repair stuff?

This is your local Mayberry type hardware store.
