Great - Communication could be better, though. I ordered carriage door hardware for 5 overhead garage doors which is a lot of pieces. Van Dykes is usually quick to ship orders so after 2 weeks when I hadn’t received an email that my order had shipped I called customer service. They politely told me they didn’t have enough inventory to fulfill my order. A few days later I received most of my order and the remainder arrived a couple of weeks later.

Ordered turned wood corner moulding… Ordered turned wood corner moulding guards for my hallway walls. They were of nice quality but one was warped and the other had a slice missing from the top of it's finial. I gave a call to customer service and they promptly sent two replacements with no problem. Corner guards have created a fine finish accent and protect the corners in the winding hallway from nick's and smudges.

In life you get what you pay for When you consider the quality of the products that Van Dyke sells it more than justifies the cost of some of their items. I get that not everyone can appreciate purchasing quality goods, but then at least don’t complain about the prices? It’s not expensive, it’s just not a price you’re willing to pay. There’s a difference, and I personally think America’s economy and society as a whole would be doing a lot better if more people understood this.

A Restorer's Dream! As someone passionate about preserving the charm of older homes, I can't express enough gratitude for Van Dyke's Restorers. Their vast selection of hard-to-find specialty hardware and components has been invaluable to my restoration endeavors. Whether I'm remodeling a kitchen or refurbishing antique furniture, I know I can rely on them for authentic, high-quality pieces that elevate the beauty of any space. It's a true pleasure doing business with them!

Best Selection, Best Quality The items I purchased were exactly what I was expecting. I always go to Van Dykes for the anything I need for a dyi project. Great selection, unusual items. When we built our home 27 years ago, Van Dykes is where we went. We purchased beautiful brass return vent covers for our formal rooms. So much better than the standard louvered metal ones that builders use. You cannot go wrong with them. My only irritant is that their shipping seems to take so long, but in the end it is always worth the wait.
