Hassett Hardware Carlmont

Services at carlmont

We may be in a small space, but our team is ready to help and our manager, Mike, has been with Hassett Hardware since 2009 when we purchased the San Mateo store. He started with the former owners as a cashier in 2000, worked his way up to running the store for years, then moved into heading our IT department and now does that while managing our Carlmont location. So don’t be fooled by the size of the store, Mike knows just about everything Hassett – and hardware – there is to know, and if he doesn’t, he’ll find out for you.
