Also agree with True Value in Simi, not the cheapest but they have a very large selection if you only need a few or a specific item.

Re: Real Hardware Stores
Now that Tractor Supply opened in Simi Valley, it's another place for a decent selection of hardware, and it's better than the cheap Crown Bolt junk that Osh and Home Depot sell. You have to go a grade higher with that cheap Chinese stuff just to get the strength you want.

T.T.T. for any newbies .
Good hardware is getting tough to find ~ I've been scavenging good OEM hardware since the 1960's, I de rust it and check threads etc. then use it at a prodigious rate, much of it is unobtanium .
