Wisnom's hardware has served San Mateo for over a hundred years and still a family owned business. Its a well stocked, well run, hardware store of the kind you used to find before the chain stores became epidemic. And the clerks know their stock and trade, as well as being friendly and kind. You might pay a bit more there than Home Depot, but I'll shop there over any place else if I know they'll have what I want
PROS: well stocked, courteous, convenient
CONS:

A lot of people don't realize that they have people on staff who can make keys, fix lamps, sharpen knives, and match paint for you. This business is very small and service oriented, and they stock a lot of unique home, gift and garden items too. It's a pleasure just to browse. It's the kind of hardware store that ladies as well as men can just browse around in. My only issue is that they close fairly early!

It really is. This independent hardware store has got to be the best one I've ever seen. What they may lack in depth of inventory for any one category, they definitely make up in quality. I've never shopped for something here without finding just the right thing.
The staff is especially knowledgeable and helpful. Marry Restoration Hardware to an old fashioned neighborhood hardware store and you will come close. It is definitely worth a trip out of your way.
