Vanhook Hardware

You know that smell of mothballs and dust and old tools and wood shavings in your grandfather’s garage? It’s a strangely comforting sort of smell. That’s what VanHook smells like when you walk in the door.
VanHook is definitely the local hardware store. Located in a long and narrow downtown building, the store has a variety of hardware ranging from screws and bolts to paint and barn gadgets. Older men in suspenders are available to assist you, and there’s something interesting to find in every aisle. Sure, it’s kind of unattractive, cramped, and din, but it works. You’ll find what you need here. Need keys cut for your RV? No problem here. We even brought in a paint can from Lowe’s and they were able to skillfully color match the paint. WIN. This place may not be as big or have as many options as Home Depot or another national chain, but it’s local and they have heart. Support them. Give VanHook a shot before heading to a big box store.
Oh, and on your way out, lift up the latch a bit on the door to open it.
