So, maybe this is not the last corner hardware store. Given the density of beautiful SF, it is feasible that these sorts of places that sell shoelaces and mothballs next to vacuum cleaners and hair rollers still exist.
Fredrickson's is the 'last corner hardware store.' Though I'm not sure if they are franchised, they seem to have that old 'Tell me whatcha want buddy and i'll fix ya up' hardware store attitude.
In addition to having the crusty old cluttered feel, they have hard-to-find original fixtures such as the old chrome hangers that go on top of crown molding to suspend pictures from in those 1940's plaster and Victorian-style homes.
Ahh, may Home Depot never enter this wonderful city. Long live the corner hardware store (though this one is not on a corner).Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aguarito T.San Francisco, CA38Jul 26, 2024

Having this store in our neighborhood is so convenient - definitely makes our lives easier, thank you.
This review is for John who is very friendly, knowledgeable and has the best attitude. Most importantly, he is very helpful and patient. Our heartfelt thanks for his help today.
Connie is also great - she is very knowledgeable and friendly!
Not mentioning any names but unfortunately there are two staff members here who are super cold, aloof, unfriendly, and extremely unhelpful. So sad. If you come often enough you probably know who I am referring to. But just stay away from them and don't let them affect your day - just look for someone else to help you. This is still a wonderful store.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Thesaurus G.Oakland, CA0471Apr 29, 2024
Condescending employees working in the paint store. They talk to me like I'm an idiot and are so rude. I won't be returning. It's a shame since this is in my neighborhood. Employees possibly on the spectrum bc of complete lack of social skills/human decency.
The only KIND and NORMAL employee is Robert.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Victoria S.Morgan Hill, CA38243Dec 24, 2023
We live out of town and stumbled across this 100+ year old store. Loved it! We purchased a holiday gift and enjoyed the miniature amusement park set in front of the store. This is a treasure of a local SF shop and not many small businesses like this anymore. Please support small and local business.

Excellent Service, resulting from strong knowledge and actually caring about their customers. Gives them a small town community hardware store feel, with the inventory one would expect in a city. Love this place.

This is a solid neighborhood hardware store that you can get everything you need for the house.
I'm impressed with the variety of things they have in addition to the standard hardware store items: kitchenware, glassware, office supplies, patio furniture, bathroom supplies and other household items. It's essentially a fusion of Walgreens, Target, Staples, and Home Depot in one.
I found when many stores were out of cleaning products due to supply issues I could always find them here probably because many people don't' know they sell cleaning products. They also rent steam cleaners for the carpet. The back room has a seasonal section selling patio furniture during the summer or Xmas decorations during the fall.
There are 3 store cats that roam the establishment. They don't show their face nearly as much as Lilly the Michael's Liquor store cat which is located catty corner (pun intended!) to Fredericks but whenever I see one it's always exciting.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Haliey L.Lindon, UT022May 19, 2024

I just saw on the news the new rules to go shopping. I think it's a great idea to have one on one. I think it would be a good idea to have people shop by appointment only at all stores.. Maybe that's similar thing of what you're doing now I am not sure. It's for the safety of the customers as well as the store. I don't live in san francisco but I wanted to express my thoughts.
