FAQ
What size nails or screws do I need for my project?
That depends on what you’re working on. Hanging a picture? Go with a 1 ¼ inch screw. Building a deck? Try a 2 ½ inch deck screw. If you’re not sure, just bring in what you’ve got or take a picture. I’ll help you figure out the right fit.
How do I choose the right type of anchor for drywall?
If you’re hanging something light like a photo, a plastic anchor will do. For heavy stuff like shelves or a TV mount, you’ll want something stronger like toggle bolts or molly anchors. The more weight you’re hanging, the tougher the anchor should be.
What’s the difference between galvanized and stainless steel hardware?
Galvanized is steel with a zinc coating. It helps fight off rust and works great outdoors. Stainless steel is even tougher. It’s the better pick if you’re dealing with moisture, especially in bathrooms or near water.
How do I remove a stripped screw?
Start with a rubber band between your screwdriver and the screw to add grip. If that doesn’t work, try locking pliers if the head is exposed. If it’s really stuck, use a screw extractor. We’ve got those here, and I’ll show you how to use one.
Do you carry specialty fasteners or hard-to-find sizes?
Sure do. We carry everything from metric to fine thread, and even some left-handed threads. If we don’t have it on the shelf, we can usually get it ordered for you.
Can you help match a missing bolt or screw?
Absolutely. Bring in what you’ve got, even if it’s just a piece. We’ll head to the hardware bins and find a match. It’s kind of like a puzzle and I enjoy solving it.
What's the best adhesive for metal, wood, or plastic?
For wood, use carpenter’s glue. For metal, I recommend a two-part epoxy. For plastic, it depends on the type but we carry a few specialty options that will do the job. Just tell me what you’re working with and I’ll get you pointed in the right direction.
How do I use a wall anchor properly?
Drill a hole the size of the anchor, gently tap the anchor into the wall until it’s flush, then drive the screw into it. If the anchor spins, you might need a bigger size. It’s easier than it sounds once you’ve done it once or twice.
Do you sell hardware in bulk or single pieces?
Yes to both. You can buy just one screw or grab a whole box. No need to overbuy when you only need a few.
What tools do I need for a basic home repair kit?
Start with a hammer, a set of screwdrivers, a tape measure, an adjustable wrench, and a utility knife. Add in a level, some duct tape, and a cordless drill if you can swing it. That’ll cover most repairs around the house.
