Mckenzies Hardware

Great old Hardware I’m 53 years old and I can remember when I was younger in my teens coming past on the bus to Central Station or coming home to Maroubra and seeing the Hardware store almost 40 years ago and still going strong

A must visit. Places like this hardly exist anymore. Best little hardware shop ever!!!

I came here two years and still remember my experience at this hardware shop. Had the best conversations with the shop owner. :) I needed to fix my new bike but had no clue what tool I needed and how i can do so, the owner patiently explained to me how and what needs to be done and what tool i need

The nicest, most genuine service ever. I needed help repairing an air mattress and after helping me find the small piece of sandpaper I needed wouldn't charge me for such a little thing. This tourist was very appreciative (the difference between sleeping and not!) and the gesture was appreciated. Obviously a business that cares about its community. Highly recommend.

The other reviews have pretty much summed up this wonderful little shop. It's a through back to the yesteryear of my past, it's not trying to be nostalgic, it just is, what a lovely surprise. The lovely gent that runs it is genuine, friendly and funny. He had exactly what I wanted and it came with decent advice. Take cash, or prepare to have your credit card run through the old school visa machine. Someone mentioned dogs, the one that met me barked, that's all. So glad to have stumbled onto this little reminder of my past. I will certainly recommend and come back.

The gentleman in this shop is simply amazing. He said 'I'd love to take your money, but honestly, just buy some toothpaste to fill it in" he saved me $50 and gave great advice. It worked. I will be going to this shop and always spending my money there. Got to keep this fabulous customer service alive. Thankyou.

The first time here and the service was fantastic, and they had what I needed. This place will become a local stop for me. Thanks for your help.

Just like the other reviews say, this is the most genuine, friendly and helpful service you will receive in Sydney! Great hardware store, I will always try to find what I need here before I have to look elsewhere. I'm always looking for a reason to visit this wonderful, heart warming shop that reminds me of the good old days.

Proper hardware shop, with a bell over the door and everything. Came away with what I needed, some sound advice and best of all, wonderful service. I'll always come here instead of Bunnings wherever possible. What an unexpectedly lovely shop

I called in at 8pm looking for a last minute tool. He said that he had closed already but to come down anyway and he would stay up. The guy's name is Andy and he is a great guy, very informative and helpful and deserves a mention. Definitely worth the stop.

Lovely, kind and honest gentleman who taught me how to fix the water leak in the bathroom sink. He genuinely enjoys educating people and being of help. Highest recommendation possible. Will be back

Like the hardware store my dad used to take me to as a kid!

The perfect antidote to the Bunnings megastores. The proprietor is a real gent who know his stuff and is ready with advice and a joke and a smile.

Really reasonably priced; but it’s cash only (though with three major banks situated around the corner this is only a minor inconvenience)

Andy was very helpful and friendly, I asked about getting an inflammable container to top up fuel for my empty scooter, and I got a 5 L utility can for $13. It's also very convenient for locals compared to going to Bunnings Alexandria.

Great guy! I had problems unscrewing a screw in my car in a really tight space and was looking for a special kind of screw drivers which no one had.
Called up Mckenzies because I lived near by and he told me he had just closed but if I would come within 30 minutes he would still be there tidying up.
He then presented me with several tools but none seemed to really fit. He then came up with the idea of taking a 50 cent and using it together with a plier and it sounded like it actually could work.
Problem was I didn't have a 50 cent but he gave me one and didn't want anything in return.. So this was the first time I went into a store and actually came out richer :)

This was my first time visiting this shop, 40 years it has been there for! The owner was lovely. Great service and very helpful advice!

Proper old school hardware store. Needed 4 screws and was able to buy 4 individual screws for a total of $1.20. Great customer journey and great customer service. Shame Bunnings is killing off most of these type of stores.

This is a great independent local hardware store. The owners are friendly and helpful and also very knowledgeable about renovation needs.

Good people. I have gone there over the years and despite the state of the store they usually have what I want. And I don't have to suffer the idiots at the chain stores either. Oh, and it's near a pub. And a bus stop.

Brilliant old school hardware store with super friendly service and items at great prices. The free bag of plums from the tree out the back was an unexpected and wonderful addition!

Exactly what I wanted was available.
