For 87 years and three generations, Ball and Ball has been producing the finest quality Hardware and Lighting for homes across the country. The Ball family heritage of metal working dates back to before the 1700's England. Today we take the same pride in the craftsmanship of our products. The high standards set by our forefathers has been the ideal toward which we strive, not only in our shop, but also in our relationships with our customers.
We offer the services of our craftsmen to perform repairs on your original hardware, or to produce exact copies of an existing item. We can design and fabricate almost anything in metal, and have been doing this for over 70 years. Chances are, we have already made the item you may need at least once.
Stated simply - we expect our products to work - stock items as well as repairs. If they do not, return them, and "we will make it right." No charge will be made for anything that has not been forced beyond reasonable limits. We do reserve the right to charge for repair or replacement costs for items damaged through no fault of Ball and Ball, LLC.

It's been years since I was here, but the hardware they had then was fabulous! Hard to find items available.

The best of the best when it comes to reproductions or high end Brass repairs. Nobody does it better. I have used them over 100 times in my 30 years of restoration.

Very cool stuff. Plays more to the colonial/Chester county inn type decor.
Lots of things made on site in their foundry. Owners are right there for questions and customization.

Several times I've sent samples of brass hardware to Ball & Ball for duplication or replacement. My complaint is I can not tell the difference between the parts they made for me and the sample :) . Absolutely awesome workmanship every time. Ray Spencer

Bob KNOWS! He is the go to for anything mechanical that needs fixing! From anything brass or old antique iron beds to striker plates, and keys for old carpenter locks! I would NEVER go anyplace else! IS THERE ANYPLACE ELSE? Nope! Even lamp part refinishing-to silver sugar bowls and old brass for your clocks. I love this place! We love the three hour drive because it's a fun outing seeing our "go to" man, Bob, for fixing whatever!

The store is like going to a museum of fine collectables. We had them make a brass hinge for us, it turned out fantastic.

Needed to get a copy of a hard-to-find piece of antique lock hardware for a prestige client in Manhattan. Tried everyone in the NYC area. Ball & Ball actually had an identical piece of one of the items in their stock of classic hardware. They were able to make an accurate, good-looking reproduction of the other within my deadline. They are currently working on my second order. Knowledgeable and friendly folks. Cost-effective. Highly recommend them.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!

RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE (By the way it's the owners)
SLOW ORDER TURNAROUND.
NO CHECKOUT PROCESS.
NO ORDER CONFIRMATION.
QUESTIONABLE CREDIT CARD SECURITY.


Placed order 2 weeks ago. No information on the website regarding production or delivery time.

Called Customer Service and spoke to a hungover and/or disinterested individual to place my order. Credit card info had to be communicated verbally because they do not have a checkout on the site. No confirmation emails until 3 additional calls had been placed to Customer Service. Now my card has been compromised

Ball & Ball are amongst the few true craftsmen left in this country and a true gem here in the Philadelphia area. A family business with a rich heritage who are renown for historic restorations, as furniture makers and creators of fabulous brass lighting fixtures.
