Monarch Hardware Company

First time coming by Monarch, these guys are great. I came in with a stuck stripped screw, which they helped me find the right equipment to remove it, and then took a good deal of their time and effort to give me a hand. They were super nice about the whole thing, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

I’ve been stopping by this hardware store for 12 years now, usually in a pinch to get a part on the fly while making a repair. Very helpful staff that can guide you in the right direction. A large collection of items to make a a quick repair or Macgyver something along in these old West Philadelphia row homes. They are quick and good at making keys, have a selection of locks for narrow doors and other hardware specific to the Philly area. Today’s visit was for a plumbing repair. They explained the options and even offered to let me try out a part and return it if it did not work out for my repair. These neighborhood hardware stores are always handy when in a pinch and you’d rather get the job done vs spending hours hunting around a massive box store.

Legit hardware store that knows what they are talking about. If you need an old faucet part, or have an old lock re-keyed, or an old car key cut, these folks probably have it. I'm not always great at describing, so it's always best to bring in the part you are trying to replace, and they typically know what to sell you. Note: Most staff offer service with a smile, a few do not, but they have good advice.

Great hardware store staffed by friendly and helpful people. We love to shop there and can usually find what we need (glass, plywood, tools, paint, gardening supplies, they've even got some cleaning supplies). If they don't have something in stock, they can sometimes special order it too. We also get our keys cut here and have used their locksmith service.

Super friendly dudes! They’re always friendly + patient, and have been helpful when I’ve come in needing help with finding specific things. They also have good prices, especially considering it’s such a small little spot, so you wouldn’t necessarily expect them to be competitively priced. They have a good selection as well— again, don’t be fooled by its size bc the store is packed with a wide array of both convenient + specific things you may need. I live nearby and there’s usually a constant stream of cars + people swinging by. Definitely not hard to see why they’re so popular! Highly recommended!

Stopped in here for the first time today. Needed to replace a storm door cylinder. As soon as I stepped in the place Dwayne acknowledged me and said he’d be right with me. He went above and beyond setting up the piece making sure I wouldn’t have any trouble getting the lock to work properly. I’m so impressed by the level of service I experienced here. This is the type of small business I’m proud to support.

I much prefer small local hardware stores to big box stores like Lowe’s or Home Depot. They were super willing to help me figure out what size washer I needed for a broken carafe, and usually have firewood and other essentials for camping and summer fun. Def check with them before going elsewhere.

can't speak to anything else, but i had a great experience with the locksmith service. i didn't have a key for my back security door, and only had one key for the front security door. the locksmith showed me step-by-step how to remove the cylinders so i could bring them in to be re-keyed to match each other. very helpful and reasonably priced compared to buying new locks or new doors.

Very friendly, helpful customer service. There’s a little bit of everything here with good, competitive prices. Prices are about equal to big online retailers, with the bonus of supporting local business! So thankful to have a place like this so close to my home.
