Crown City Hardware

 Crown City Hardware was founded in Pasadena, CA in 1916. We started out serving the residents of the area as a local hardware store. Since then, we have grown to become one of the nations premier vendors of restoration and decorative hardware. How? Luck mostly.

Actually, by listening to the needs of the people that matter most, our customers. Pasadena and its surrounding neighborhoods are full of beautiful older homes. As a full service local hardware store, it was quite frustrating not being able to assist our customers as they looked to restore these homes. Why? The hardware was no longer produced and not considered very important or profitable by most large hardware companies. So, we decided to do something about it.

First, we scoured the world for hardware suppliers and manufacturers specializing in restoration and hard-to-find goods. By the time we were done, we had stocked our shelves with hardware from over two hundred and fifty separate suppliers. It wasn't enough. There were still (and still are) hundreds of items used commonly in older homes that just weren't available any longer. These included crystal cabinet and door knobs, craftsman style pulls and knobs, victorian patterned hinges, and so on. We decided to produce them.

We have contracted with dozens of manufacturers to have literally hundreds of these pieces reproduced exclusively for our customers. In doing so, we placed a strong emphasis on quality and period authenticity. The pieces, we feel, should look and feel just like the originals. I think we've come pretty close.

If you're trying to match an item you can't find in our catalog, let us know, we might just have it in our antique collection, or look for featured antique hardware pieces here. We hope you will find Crown City Hardware to be a unique and special hardware store. We have worked hard to make it just that, and to meet the need of our customers.
