Deck’s Hardware

I was sent here from a fellow at Home Depot after he wasn’t able to give me the right size screws for a project. He whispered in my ear «Go to Deck’s Hardware in Ambler».
They had it! Amazing 125 year old «old school» hardware store with incredible customer service. You go in and ask for something, and they get it for you. No searching around a billion isles and wasting all that time.
They even write down your receipt using pencil and paper.
I real treat and time saver.
Thanks Decks!

I love this place. Just what a hardware store is supposed to be. Lots of wooden pockets.

Instead of going to the big box stores for a nut and bolt repair job I decided to go here because it was close and we were short on time. We just moved to the area and were unpacking when we noticed a broken bed clamp and crib rail.
I was so surprised by the experience!
I got there 2 minutes before closing time and the attendant took me to the counter to look at what I needed replaced. Instead of walking up and down long isles buying screws bolts and washers in bulk count bags, I got the exact screw and washer combo I was looking for along with the perfect crib fix. I only had to buy what I was looking for so no need to dump 9 extra screws and bolts into my tool box.
If you need a box of screws and you don’t mind driving to save a few cents then go to the lowes or Home Depot. If your not sure what to do or what you need and you don’t feel like searching the isles for someone who might know what they are doing. Here is your place!

I Cannot Fathom why there are bad reviews on this place! I will be a long time customer. I live in Ambler, and never went there. I’ve lived here 4 years, always walked by and thought: how cool is that? Local Hardware store. that’s deceivingly expansive. My boyfriend stopped in one day in August after a cat busted through our screen window. He wanted to get parts to fix it. He was home in no more than 10 minutes (we live down the road) he says he walked in and the guy asked what he wanted, cut screen for him, and rang him up all for under 5 dollars. Can’t get that at Home Depot or Lowes: because you have to buy a whole kit, when that’s not what anyone wants.
When he returned a tool they let him borrow a week later (he saw someone picking up a custom made screen) – we will check that out next time!
Also, during the holiday season I finally took my first trip inside. It was love at first sight to anyone who enjoys an old world charm feel. LOVED its cozy ambiance. I just needed 5 eye hooks, and they would have rung in to a whopping 50 cents for about 8 of them. That’s a steal. So for those reviews that think «everything is expensive» is just wrong. dusty display tools on the exterior of finely kept hardware shelves are alright by me, and if the store was closing and I wasn’t there on time, then that’s simply my problem.
I am now a loyal customer, and I don’t just hand out good reviews.

I thought a local hardware store would go out of its way for it’s customers-​NOT so at this store. My husband was around the corner, stuck in traffic, when I called at 5:26 (cell phone time) to let them know he would be there in a minute, the man on the phone said he couldn’t wait and «he wasn’t the one closing.» I asked if he could ask the person who was closing if he could wait literally one minute and the man on the phone replied «NO». At 5:27 my husband arrived, the light was on, the door was locked and no one answered. They have just lost a customer for life plus all of my Facebook friends as well. FYI a little customer service goes a long way!!!

Not very nice service, everything is expensive and a lot of the products have been there so long they’re dusty, but it’s the perfect place to go when you’re in a bind and need a hardware store item ASAP. They always have what I’m looking for (even if it looks like it’s been there since 1984).

Great customer service. They will help you find what you need. Prices are higher than the big guys. The selection isn’t great either. But you won’t get lost in the aisles and you will get helped right away.

Hands down the go to store for everything hardware. I’ve purchased bicycle chains, wheel barrow tires, cable mailbox letters, brads, breakers, lawn edger and a smokey Joe here.

It’s a bonus that it’s nearby, but this would still be my favorite hardware store, even if I had to drive an extra mile or two to get to it. It’s a family-​run, traditional hardware store (complete with hardwood floors, cavernous basement and extra storage upstairs) that gives you one-​on-​one personal service to help you with whatever you need that day – from gardening and home tools, to screen/​window repair or just nuts and bolts. Great place for stuff that is otherwise hard to find at home centers (backyard clothesline poles for example), and you can’t beat it for knowledgeable help with everyday home and yard maintenance needs.

Very friendly and straight forward. Lots of staff so I didn’t have to wait.
