Lb Johnson Hardware

They say they’re an industrial hardware store, but they don’t carry much of anything you’d need for industrial purposes. It’s all the same stuff you can buy at Home Depot, but it costs more.
I have tried to buy things on several occasions, but they rarely have what I want. And their staff is not knowledgeable or helpful.
Today, I went in to buy some screws, I had a sample of the screw I needed. It was a small flathead screw metric size. I get shown standard size screws of random length, threading, and head type. I explain again that the screw I handed them is the type I want, and they continue to point to random screws.
So I went across the street and got the screw I needed.

LB Johnson is an industrial hardware store, which means they will actually carry most any type of fastener you could need. From standard hex bolts and machine screws to roll pins, taper pins, and shoulder bolts they pretty much have it.
They also carry your typical plumbing, electrical and tools, but that is not really their strong suit.
The stores themselves are fairly rough looking and I don’t think anyone there knows how to dust anything off. But I don’t go there for the atmosphere, I go there because I need hardware and they have it in spades.
The Sante Fe Springs store is much better organized than the Commerce store when it comes to hardware, though I think the Commerce store has a larger overall inventory in the other departments.

great store excellent music, they carry a litte bit of everything and great customer service. its now my harware store
