Services offered at Marin Ace Hardware.
While there is a handy-dandy chart just above, we know that you are looking for something specific if you are here. So we have broken our services down into types to make it easier for you. They are product type, Delivery-related, recycling and trade-ins, Sharpening and repairs, discounts, and extras.
Product Types:
Tools & hardware: Standard 5& 10 Ace is a variety store and we carry many products that are not standard to hardware stores, however don’t assume that we don’t have what you need for your project. We carry thousands of items from Ace Hardware and if you don’t see the tool, or pipe, or lumber, or decking screw that you are looking for, we can order it and have it shipped to the store for free.
Gift Cards: We offer two different types of gift cards. We have the Ace national gift card which can be used at any Ace store in the nation, and we offer local gift cards for our three stores. If you want to truly support local merchants and encourage people to shop local, then the local gift cards are the ones that you want.
Ecologically friendly and “green” products: We are committed to helping our community and one way we do that is to carry products that reduce our impact on the earth.

Just look for our shelf stickers that say “Helpful Earth Choice”.

Lock re-keying: Did you know that you can get locks all keyed to the same key? Re-keying simply means that we can change most common household locks and some padlocks to a different key than the one it currently takes. We will need the key that it used to go to and the key that you now want it to fit. Remember though that if you have a Schlage key you can’t re-key a Kwikset lock and vice-versa.
