Kuhl’s Hardware

Kuhl’s Hardware has served the Southwest Side since 1987 as a family-owned and operated store, and the owners say they know many customers by first name. The shop carries brands including Wooster, Valspar, Kwikset and Quikrete, and sells everything from faucets and insulation to cordless power tools. Services include key cutting for residential and automotive keys, including chip keys, same-day window screen repair, and repairs to Thermopane and wood windows. The rental center is a practical resource for homeowners dealing with a backed-up drain, with sewer rodding machines and augers available alongside dollies, tillers and ladders.
