Went in looking for some physic tabs and the gentleman that helped me looked for quite some time but couldn't find the exact ones. Love this store and all the gentlemen that help you. Great customer service always.

Small town hardware store. Good prices good down home clerks, very helpful too. Something you just don't come across with the bigger hardware stores these days

LOCO Take: CRAZY GLUE MECCA....specifically produced by the geniuses nearby, at Bob Smith Industries, in Atascadero, CA. Yes, it is made here in America!

Yes, I am kind of a Crazy, Crazy Glue fanatic. Why? Well I have seen or used it for anything from killing AVM Brain Tumors by injecting them with microspheres, way back as a Brain Researcher at NYUMC, to fixing my designer William Henry Fossil Jewelry to hold up to showering with them on [ which is Taboo per William Henry designs].

Smith's Crazy glues come in all kinds of sizes and in various vicosities.

Ultra-thin is either as vicious

Hewitt's is my go-to place for everything around the house. Why would anyone go to a big box store and never find the right item when Hewitt's is so convenient and the staff is always helpful. And they pack it in! If they don't have it you probably don't need it.

Always pleasant and helpful. They know what they have and hardware prices are cheaper than box stores.

It's just fun for nostalgia. The older man at the register was very nice and talkative. I love the old wooden floors. Reminds me of the general store in ferndale near eureka. It is a great part of the experience of templeton and how it feels like an old west town. It's worth going into the store even if they are super small . Still a useful little hardware store. It's nice to support part of the local history:)

Went to this hardware store because it is convenient and can go in with out the crowds. Called first to see if they make keys, yes they said. So off I go knowing well no one in this town, business's, wears masks! So I dawn my N95 Mask to make sure I don't die buying a key and low and behold no one working there wears a mask and they make my 2 master keys. I did bring the lock to test the keys but left it in the truck (duh). I shop for another item but they do not have it. They make my keys and i return home trying to use them on my lock. Nope, wrong key type, doesn't even look like

My favorite store.
I call it Marry Poppins Disneyland.
Because I love Disney Land and that little store has everything you could possibly need.
And the best staff!

Had what I needed. Home depot and miners both do not even carry the thing I was looking for. Parking is pretty scarce but they do have a lot across the street and some street parking.

Not the easiest to maneuver around inside. A few times I had to wait for a person to come out of the aisle so that I would be able to walk down it. But that will not stop me from going there again. Nice customer service.

This Hardware store should be on the National Historic Registry if for no other reason than the decades and decades of superb customer service the family has provided to the community.

Whenever I'm in the area I always take some time to drop by and purchase something just to support this fantastic hardware store. Hewitt Hardware is like American Apple Pie, an institution.

Hey folks, if your planning a road trip within 100 miles of this store be sure to drop in and savor the history that is this establishment. And be sure to bring the kids so they can enjoy this little bit of history. Oh

Real service in the old school way. You walk in and tell them what you're looking for and they take you to the location of the product and ask if you have any questions before they leave. Outstanding!

The best hardware store in the North County. I love these guys. Super knowledgeable and friendly. I just walk and tell them the project I am working on and they provide all the parts along with expert advice.

What I love about this place is that you get one on one service every time. I walk in and some one is usually right there to help me find what I need. They walk me to the right spot and help me pick out what I need.
It is also surprising the selection they have in the small store. I have gotten irrigation supplies, pvc piping and connectors, bolt cutters, axes, shovels, spray paint, nuts, bolts, screws, paint brushes, vegetable plants and a bunch more.

I went to Hewitt Hardware today while exploring Main Street in Templeton--working close by for a few months. Went up and down every aisle to see everything. I love hardware stores like this one. They have everything you need for raising chickens from babies--makes me wish I could get some. Thought there was nothing I needed but found an outdoor thermometer that I really do need. Very helpful and nice man who chatted with me about the history of this store. I hope they will stay in business forever. Susan P.

Nuts! And Bolts! Great place to get that little thing-a-mah-what-cha-call-it. I used to shop the place a ton when I made wine down the street. It will always have a warm place in my tool bag.

This place is great! They are a genuine small town hardware store, with down home help, that know how to really help people. These guys do it all and it shows. The store is stocked with the stuff you need in a small town and that really helps me. Stop into to this place and I think you could ask almost any question, even if it did not have to do with hardware, and get an answer that would be helpful.
