Located in the magnificent Pacific Northwest, our commercial and residential divisions are intent on presenting, selling, and supporting the finest products available. From our humble beginnings selling the first hunting and fishing licenses in the State of Oregon to where we are today, Chown has guided six generations to create both comfortable and secure spaces for homes and work places all over the Pacific Northwest.
In 1965 a vacation to visit a distant Canadian relative's department store lit the elegant spark that the Pacific Northwest had been waiting for, and Eleanor Chown was just the modern woman to transform dream into reality. After a decade of traveling the world with Frank by her side, Eleanor sought out the finest offerings in antique furniture and home decor to bring home to Oregon.

Joel Chown was wonderful to work with! Our home needed to be updated with all black door hardware from old shiny brass. He was immediate with his communications, came to our home when promised (even slightly early), he compiled all the info for hardware needed & helped me arrange to have someone install it. Hardware order came in a timely manner as well, even during pandemic. Nothing was missing...everything was done correctly & seamlessly. Awesome experience as a consumer!! Thank you Chown Hardware!

I bought my lock and kept it for a couple months before installing it I did not know anything was wrong with it until it was installed. When it was installed we later realized that the rod that turns the lock on the inside was short and as a result it kept falling off where it was supposed to be thus damaging that part. I requested multiple times that they replace the damaged part but they refused, rude over the phone. They just sent a longer rod which is useless coz the other part was damaged.

Very nice selection with a high ticket price but hey, quality is there.
It is something to look at for years and it needs to be ergonomically correct, functional, easy on the eye and a conversation point at times.
I’ve looked around but was not dressed for the occasion I guess to meet bathtubs, toilets, shower fixtures and other Toto’s.
The sales lady asked me couple of questions and was helpful to note that all items are quite expensive.
It’s not what you say it’s how you say it...

While the name highlights hardware, this is a high end store that has a varied and tasteful selection for your home improvement or remodel projects whether it's creating a master bath, a new kitchen or updating your existing doors and cabinets with some of the most beautiful "hardware" around. What a selection!
Styles range from older traditional homes to the modern and I've done both. When I lived in an Old English Tudor built in 1931, I was able to find hardware for my new bathroom and remodeled kitchen, as well as door handles and locks, that fit with the year and style

I've admired Chown's selection for many years but never thought I could afford to shop there. I went there recently to buy some new entry hardware for a new front door. They worked with me to find something in my price range and made me feel comfortable (and excited!) about my decision. They poured over the details to make sure this would work with my door (I was not working with a contractor). There have been a few hiccups along the way with multiple delays in delivery, but every time I have reached out to get updates, I have been very promptly responded to. I have greatly appreciated

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Mariah and Tim and they both were wonderful extremely knowledgable proffessionals. Prices were great and service above and beyond. Both Mariah and Tim shine at what they do. Very refreshing to get such personable service from a locally owned business.

A very nice store, they sell very tasteful and premium home fixtures (door hardware, bathroom fixtures, toilets, etc), and they have excellent prices.
I worked with Tara, who was very patient and helpful. This is very exceptional support, where someone is genuinely helpful even at no direct gain to themselves.
Thank you very much for your time, insight, and offer to work with me, Tara.

I am only giving a 1 star because I can't give 0. Our contractor ordered parts in plenty of time to be ready for installation on June 8, he went to pick up and they only had a few of the supplies with a promise of the rest in 4 days. Nope, not four days. Then by Monday, okay, by Thursday, oh, they got delivered to Portland but they are guaranteed to be here on Monday (the 19th of June) but NOPE, not in. Finally here on July 11 they are in. BUT, did anybody call to let us know they were either delayed, in or anything - NOPE. Will never do business with them again and encourage any contractor to

Chown Hardware exceeded All our expectations, every step of the way. Doug, was OVER THE TOP helpful. We purchased a wall mounted vanity, a French product. After the plumber installed the sink and vanity, something was off. We called Doug to discuss the problem. This was not Doug's job! But he knew the product and was dedicated to customer satisfaction. He dropped by our home, which was near the showroom, and diagnosed the problem. (Plumber error) We are so grateful and couldn't believe his can do attitude. Chown sells beautifully designed quality merchandise. Customer satisfaction is priority.

Chown really went the extra mile for me today. Jason (Chown) helped me solve a problem and save me a ton of money. A screw in the door-lock broke off in the face plate on my Pearl District high-rise unit. And this lock was installed 12 years ago by Chown. So Jason diligently worked through their computer system and found a little bitty screw (for pennies) to fix my door lock as opposed to replacing with a new mechanism, plus the hours and hours of my labor to figure out re-installation. I highly recommend Chown if you need parts and repair in your high-rise, home or condo!
