Travel back in time, this old fashion hardware store has just what you need and great customer service. They aren’t a speedy crew but they are thorough and pleasant.

Fabulous store with old-​time service. Quality merchandise – all the things you’re looking for under one roof and great staff!

My parents best friends now also in their 80’s. (Dottie and Sonny). Praised and recommended this store to me just 2 weeks ago. «All our friends have gone to this old hardware store for many many years… just across the street from the ER at White Plains Hospital.»
Wow. Wow. Wow. Were they right.
My father now 94 fixed almost everything himself and had a magnificently organized tool pegboard proudly in his basement. He and I LOVE hardware stores like this.
Home Depot carries only brands that provide them with the highest profit margins. Sadly fast disappearing amazing small «mom and pop» stores like this are oh too rare today, so we NEED to SUPPORT them Home Depot also does not carry products made to repair refinish in a LASTING manner.
i ended up spending two hours in this incredible store. I found a rare SOLID WOOD 5 step ladder — stable heavy non wobbly for my daughter’s tall 1950 ‘s kitchen cabinets. I found unique very very hard to find things to help me repair bathroom caulk open painted shut old windows, clean old stained linoleum floors, poach eggs and even these compact heavy metal 3 inch super bright LED flashlights that had a safety flashing mechanism our daughter can push on last minute so she does not get hit at night crossing a busy NYC street! I had Medco keys meticulously and perfectly made by the owner and bought a HUGE variety of rare highly practical items to help me keep my older Minneapolis home in good working order (husband is not a «honey-​do spouse, I AM).
The interior aura is also truly neat — refreshing after visiting the new expensive antiseptic ultra clean fancy Manhattan after not seeing it for 12 years. Grew up in Westchester since 1955.
We must must support unique rare practical outstanding personal/​customer service mom-​pop companies like this or lose them forever !!!

Fantastic customer service (three of the men behind the counter were helping me out) and lots of little parts for home repair and improvements at great prices. Definitely has that mom and pop shop feel to it. I would be back anytime.
