Nicholson Hardware

I had to get a Yale double-​cylinder lock re-​keyed. Nicholson did it while I waited and it was only $ 12.00 or $ 6.00 per cylinder. I also bought a 100−200−300 watt Mogul-​base light bulb from them that was $ 2.00 cheaper than Grainger. Thanks Nicholson Hardware.

Best hardware store in town. They have parts that even the box stores will tell you to get from here. Their employees actually know their trades and can help you get what you need fast. If the prices are any higher, which they are usually not, it’s a local place and the money stays here in town with a local family! Cannot recommend this place higher!

I normally love Nicholsons, so I’ll chalk this incident up to someone having a bad day. You can always find the people who KNOW at Nicholsons, but not always people with good personalities.
Today I walked in to buy a few nuts and bolts. I brought a bolt in that I wanted to match and asked the man at the hardware desk to help me out. Told him what I needed and showed him what I wanted to match. He comes back with the wrong bolts…
When I pointed it out, I was told «These are bolts, those are machine bolts, you asked for bolts. Now I need to rewrite the order. You need to be specific, Son.»
Now, I realize I may not know the correct bolt terminology, but when I bring in EXACTLY what I’m looking for, you can’t blame me for that. Treating me like an idiot in front of other customers is also uncalled for. I will be going to Ace from now on.

I’ve been visiting Nicholsons for about seven years they are 2 miles from my home. It’s not always the most cost effective so I won’t say I get all my supplies there. But for great technical service and unique or retro needs there offerings are superior. Each retail clerk is anything but that… they are knowledgeable about there products and have a passion for the business they are part of. You can call them on the phone and they can tell you or guide you to a solution to your problem. I prefer to deal with them for challenging tasks. Sure I’ll still shop menards for basic lower cost items but Nicholsons is my first choice for hard to find items, custom cut glass, plumbing retro fix dilemmas and such. They offer extraordinary value. Visit their lawn and garden shop for lawnmower service, sales and such. Just a couple blocks away.

Old fashion style hardware store… if you cant find it here, you wont find it anywhere… but they will order it for you… hubby needed the smallest known O ring for an old nail gun (trigger pin) he had, looked on the web, all over town, chatting with other «hardware» guys at the big box office places and referred him to Nicholson… found the O ring, in stock, I found new cabinet hardware, and other things… our first place to go to to get the odd things needed.

There a difference between Nicholson and other places is they know what they are talking about. I took a Gucci bag there to see if they had something similar to the part I needed to repair it. This guy said he was the Purse Whisperer and fixed it for me. And for under $ 5. Great place.

Their paint department has no comparison. Excellent service and personal attention from professionals that big box stores can’t provide.
