About This Local Business Web Design Client in Dayton, OH
Main Hardware has been a trusted part of the Dayton, OH community since 1987, when founder Dennis Vanderhorst took a leap of faith and purchased the small, local hardware store. With a background in retail management and over two decades of experience with Sears and PK Lumber, Dennis was motivated by a simple belief: that people would always value the ability to fix and maintain what they have. His vision was rooted in personal service, practical solutions, and strong community ties.
What started as a charming, neighborhood shop with creaky hardwood floors and the unmistakable scent of an old hardware store, quickly became a staple for homeowners, DIYers, and contractors in the area. Dennis and his wife Sally returned to North Dayton, where they first lived as a young couple, and poured their energy into building a business known for warm smiles and old-fashioned service.
Today, Dennis’s sons, David and Tim, carry on his legacy. Since becoming partners in 2005, they’ve remained committed to the same values that made Main Hardware a local favorite—helpfulness, integrity, and expertise.
Main Hardware offers a wide range of services to meet everyday repair and maintenance needs, including key cutting, lamp repair, lock rekeying, pipe cutting and threading, screen and window repair, and special ordering for those hard-to-find tools and parts. Whether you’re tackling a big project or need a quick fix, Main Hardware is here to help—serving Dayton with care, craftsmanship, and a personal touch.
