I just moved to Lake Forest and wanted to try going local instead of venturing to the big box stores and I bought a ton of stuff for my new house here. The staff are incredibly friendly and offered to help me find things three times during my shopping. A few days after my purchase, one of my new garden hoses sprung a leak, but I lost my receipt and threw away the original packaging, but they exchanged it at no charge anyway. There’s a reason you stay local — and Lake Forest Hardware is one of them!

Poor excuse for a hardware store. The kid who is apparently the owner, makes promises he doesn’t keep. he’ll tell you he’s going to order something for you and when you come in to pick it up you find they never ordered it. A friend took screens in last spring to get new screens put in and they lost them. They were never returned. Every time you try to call to speak to owner be cause he’s the one that said he was going to do something you just get told he’s not in or he’s out of town/on vacation. This kid has no business running a store. I’m told they have a high turnover rate because they don’t pay their employees. I will not be spending another dime in this place. If you’re looking for decent service do yourself a favor and go to HD or Ace.

This is definitely a local hardware store to say the least. It’s tucked away in the corner of the strip mall(near Sunset Foods). And if you aren’t looking for it, you might miss it. It’s very small in size for a hardware store, local or not. If you need a nut/bolt or basic tool they’ll probably have it. But I find the Ace Hardware in Highland Park to have a lot more options and more experienced help. This place is okay if you need something commonplace. But if you’re doing any real home repairs, you can still go local just in Highland Park.

The store is family owned and it shows– in a great way. From screws, to drywall, to birthday cards, to coasters, you can find everything here. If you want to tackle a do-it yourself project, this is the place to go for advice and the supplies you need. Great hardware store and friendly service!

You pay a little bit more than at HD but the service is great and they have about a broad a selection as you need for most jobs. You won’t last for more than five minutes before someone approached you to help.

The familiar feeling of a mom and pop shop with a wide selection of tools for the home. They also carry cards and gifts for everyday occasions and holidays. I came in for some $ 2 tack cloths and left with $ 75 of cooking gadgets, craft ribbons, gift bags and clearance Christmas cards. The man working there made sure to point out the holiday aisle and informed me that everything was 60% off. Oh, I’m a sucker for bargains!
