We work here.
We live here too.

A neighbourhood store, in the independent neighbourhood store family.

Harris is the hardware store on the Adelaide North plaza, the same block as Blessed Hands Barbershop and a row of neighbourhood storefronts that serve London's east end. We are part of the independent hardware co-operative, which means we get the same buying scale as a national chain while staying owned and run as a single store.

What that actually means in the aisle: we carry Beauti-Tone paint with on-site tinting, we cut keys, we sell fasteners by the each, and we know the difference between the four kinds of toilet flush valve. The crew at the counter live in this neighbourhood. Most of us have done the project you're asking about.

Bring the broken part. Ask the question. We will tell you the truth, even if the answer is the cheaper one.

What we do that the big-box doesn't.

• · Sell fasteners by the each, not the bagged dozen.
• · Match a broken part out of the bin while you wait.
• · Know which paint actually covers in two coats.
• · Cut a key in a minute, not a fifteen-minute queue.
