Lakeview Ace Hardware

Lakeview Ace Hardware sits on N. Sheridan Road near Irving Park Road, a short walk from the Sheridan Red Line stop, which makes the store reachable without a car for renters and condo owners along the lakefront. Beyond the usual stock of tools, paint and fasteners, the shop sells lumber and building materials and handles several repair jobs in house. Pipe cutting and threading is useful for matching the steel pipe found in older buildings, and the store also cuts glass and acrylic sheet, repairs screens and glass, services locks, and programs and cuts car keys.
