Emil's Hardware

First of all, to all the people who have left negative reviews about the service here, lighten UP! These guys are like characters from a TV show. They’re gruff, not rude. Be entertained, not offended. Sorry but L.A. people are too thin skinned. The people here are super knowledgable and helpful, just DON’T waste their time. I’m guessing they all come from east coast families. 😊

This store has everything, including every nut, bolt, or screw you can think of and they’re open stock. You can buy just one at a time - not ten in a package like you have to at Home Depot or Lowe’s. They even have a small parking lot in the back.

I recently visited this hardware store to buy home plumbing supplies for a project. The staff was accommodating, guiding me to the right products and offering expert advice. The quality of the supplies I purchased was top-notch, and the prices were unbeatable. This store is a treasure trove for anyone looking for plumbing supplies, and the value for money is exceptional.

Decades old neighborhood favorite, maybe because it is an old-fashioned jumble of items that mostly the staff can find. Prices are also higher than the old B & B Hardward mainstay that closed.

Caution about buying parts because they are not returnable, though they will try them out if they can-- like a halogen bulb I bought and was stuck with though too dim (you cannot buy these in California on line anymore).

A fun back entrance and a couple of parking places in the back.

Recommend George, who helped us with a parts problem instantly. I returned to get a new louver window piece replacement; he had told me how to measure it.

Listen. Emil's hardware has gotten me out of several pickles! They have great staff that is helpful and happy to help. They carry a lot of good items and they are reasonably priced. highly recommend.

This place is awesome. If they don't have something they will have it next day I grew up in Chicago and when my neighborhood hardware store was sold I thought I would never see 1 again. I'm so glad to see they still exist

Great place very friendly staff. Quick efficient, service, and the key copies work perfectly!

If it's customer service that is important to you this is the place to come to. Mom and Pop hardware store with kind folks willing to help you. I went in this week with some Christmas toys that were not working. One was a motorized Pluto. First of all having thought they may laugh at my bringing them in it was the complete opposite. All four grown men began to reminisce about Pluto. it was heartwarming. Secondly, they did everything they could to try and help me get them working again. In the end I spent only $10. there with the assurance if I didn't need the batteries after all just bring them back. I've gotten one toy to work so far. Going to go back tomorrow to see if they can help me get Pluto working now that I cleaned the corrosion off. Please patronize this store. We need stores like this in our community. Especially in LA....

Always find everything I wanted and a superb customer service

Every time I go to Emil's I get a super attentive sales associate, and they almost always have what I need. Went in for a gas valve, and left with a gas valve and feeling like there was no home project I couldn't tackle. They guided me through not only the products I went in for, but through the process to actually do the project I came in for. No condescension, just undivided help and attention.

Prices are fair, and the support I get far exceeds any of the major home improvement stores. Plus you're supporting small business. Win, win.

The staff is always nice and everyone knows what isle my requested stuff is on. I needed some raid flying insect spray (they had plenty of other insect sprays) but it wasn't there. They ordered two cases immediately and said they would be there on Monday. I'll be there on Monday to pick them up. I appreciate and support this independent and local store. I'm glad they are here.

Great place -- classic friendly, neighborhood hardware store. The staff help you find precisely what you need, and provide you with experience-based answers to any questions that you might have about how to use something or install install it, as well as providing general home repair and DIY advice. Highly recommend.

They've saved me on several occasions. It's a big box store, they jump right in to ask what you need. Thanks guys.

Everyone here is so helpful and friendly. I've come twice now with some problems that they've been able to advise and help on, and both times I feel like they went above and beyond to give me individual help where other stores either "didn't provide that service" or were noticeably condescending to me as a young woman. Here I felt respected and got great assistance. Just today they spent almost two hours of their time to help me extract two snapped screws from some important equipment where a screw extractor wasn't working. This place will be my exclusive hardware store from here on out.

How great to have a small owned hardware shop left in existence. The help was awesome they showed us where everything was fit all of my needs immediately. They have a large diverse array of items to choose from. Would go there again for sure over any big box. Small business is not dead! Go there and support these people.

Such a helpful crew. I couldn't get the small screws out of a piece of electronic hardware that a repair shop had said they might need to drill out. These guys helped me hands on to get them out and saved me a hell of a lot of hassle and time and cash.
The guy wouldn't even take any $ as a tip for the time he spent helping me, was just happy he could help fix it. In the end I just paid $15 for the tool I needed to buy from them and it saved me a lot more in possible repair shop fees. SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES is my last word.

Mike was very friendly and knowledgeable took the time to explain things. This store is very well stocked. I found hard to find item here

This is a fabulous small business hardware store. If you like to buy local and from a small business, this place is for you. The owner Mike is usually around and he is really nice and helpful. He cares and is knows his products.

This place is so great! I had a broken piece on my car so I located the closest hardware store. I was looking to purchase a temp fix and the man asked to see the broken piece outside to offer a better solution. Not only did he do that he offered to help me fix it. They are so helpful.

They have just about everything a big box store has but for me it’s a little more convenient to go down the street and shop verses driving miles out to a Home Depot or Lowes.

Great neighborhood hardware store.
Small compared to the large famous chains, but had pretty much everything you need.
Also great service, the employees know a lot.
A little, rare gem...
