More Than a Store

Services that go beyond the checkout counter.

We know that buying hardware is only half the equation. The other half is knowing what to buy — and that's where we earn our keep.

Our team knows the difference between a contractor-grade drill and a weekend-warrior one — and we'll tell you honestly which you need.

Bring a sample or pick from our full color chart — we'll mix the exact shade you need for your interior or exterior project.

Key Cutting & Hardware Services

Duplicate keys, lock sets, screen repair, and other quick services you can count on while you shop.

Local Delivery Available

About Us

East Hartford's hardware store — the one that stays open when you need it.

Main Hardware sits on Main Street in East Hartford, and we've been here for our neighbors — homeowners tackling a weekend project, contractors running a daily job, and everyone in between.

We're not a franchise. We don't have a call center in another state. When you walk through our doors, you're talking to people who stock the shelves, answer the phone, and care whether your faucet stops leaking or your deck lasts another decade.

That local, hands-on approach is why people keep coming back — and why we're still here, serving the community we call home.

Community

Trusted by East Hartford homeowners, builders, and tradespeople.

We measure our success by the projects our neighbors complete — and the ones they come back for after.

"I've been coming to Main Hardware for years. They always have what I need, and the guys behind the counter actually know their stuff. Way better experience than the big box places."
