About Us
Welcome to family owned and operated DG Hardware Stores, where your satisfaction has been the Schaefer family's #1 Priority for over 25 years.
Every visit to our stores combines a trip down memory lane with state-of-the-art products and services.
We have the claw hammer your grandpa used and a vibration-free hammer for the journeyman carpenter, whether you are looking for a Yankee screwdriver for a retro wood-crafting project or a professional grade drill-driver to build a three level deck, DG Hardware Stores are your Solution Destination.
Foremost among the many leading brands of tools that we stock are; Stanley, Black & Decker, Makita, Dewalt, Vermont American, Irwin, Dremel, Milwaukee and Roto-Zip.
DG Hardware Stores are the key to your security needs. We offer the finest locksets and handlesets from Schlage, Kwikset and Weiser along with specialty locks for patio and screen doors, windows, mailboxes, cabinets and almost anything else that you need to secure.
Far more important to you will be our ability to duplicate almost any key ever produced. DG Hardware can make most transponder chip keys while you wait. If you lose your last car key we can make a key from code for most cars with your help. All you have to do is contact your dealership's parts department; provide proof of ownership and your VIN number and the dealer will give you a code. Bring the code to us and we will create a new key for you! We can rekey your existing or new house locks using a new key that we provide or another key that you would like to use from the same manufacturer.
We Have Keys For:
- Boats
- Planes
