A city block of hardware, lighting, doors/windows and period correct pieces for any project. Unfortunately not very helpful, not very honest and not interested in sales. Go with a friend and see how many conflicting prices you get.. Tried to tell me a pot metal spray painted chandelier was a high price solid brass piece. When I pointed out the obvious he said, "oh, well I thought that was a different one". Brought our Art Deco chandelier for new slip shades. Would not assist us and when we finally cornered someone they literally told us, "they don't make those anymore" to which we tried to look shocked and replied, "REALLY! How amazing! So we should be looking at antique hardware stores for assistance then?.....not here?" Today was our 4th and final trip. Picked up the chandeliers we purchased 6 weeks ago and wanted help finding pocket door hardware. Instead we were told how difficult pocket doors are and how.old they are and that there is no such thing as a locking pocket door set so we would have to "get creative". OMG. I am done. We are restoring a historical George F. Barber Queen Anne Victorian and we are not stupid.. Sadly this place has taken all of their potential and shoved it somewhere useless.

Two vintage door knobs stopped working for two different reasons thinking I might have to replace all of them (to match) I looked online- $400-1000 estimate. I am so incredibly thankful that I just happened upon Hippo hardware and specifically help from Colin! $43.00 30minutes in store and a couple hours of my fumbling at home ☑️ it’s done! Colin gave me some trouble shooting possibilities and (to my surprise) I was able to successfully fix one door knob myself from home! The second knob he diagnosed without even seeing the knob and when I brought it in he even cleaned the 100 years of sloppy paint brush over cast off this knob hasn’t shined like this in my lifetime but now I feel like I should bring all of them in for a reasonably priced clean 🤩. I couldn’t be more pleased!

Wow! What an incredible collection of vintage hardware and so much other stuff from the good ole days. If you are looking for something for an old home this place likely has what you are looking for! What an incredible parts source for old homes and their owners.

A classic Portland shop. Lots of old and hard to find vintage hardware stuff. This is the place for all things old. They have an amazing selection that spans multiple stories. Even if you don't think you need anything, you will find something here you can't live without. Prices are often negotiable. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Every trip is a memorable experience.

This place is a gem. You can find a match for just about any old hardware you have. Also TONS of vintage lighting if you're looking to match existing old lighting, or just add new old lighting. Plus there's funny signs everywhere.

Have always had great experiences here, but Colin blew me away with his help on getting some doorknobs set up for our front door! (It isn’t an easy task!) Truly knows his stuff and such a good person to work with. Thank you!!

Hippo is amazing. Brought in my old brass door parts for some tender loving care. They took great care.

Main place to go for all your old Portland house repairs and historically intact restorations. Lighting, Plumbing, door hardware, house numbers, cabinet hardware etc. Love it so much I bought a t- shirt!

You can get lost in here for hours. So much to look at and you’ll walk out with something interesting. Colin was awesome and helped me find some period looking hardware for my vintage mirror. You can tell the people who work here take pride and know what they’re doing!

Hands down, Hippo is the best salvage in the area. I was able to get all of my original kitchen cabinet drawer pulls and cabinet pulls at Hippo for a great price. The lighting level has been the source of several of our fixtures when all other hunting avenues had run dry. They’ve also rehabilitated some of our light fixtures expertly! The space is perfection and the stock they have delivers at a good price. Please keep them in business by shopping here!!

I was looking for a bail for a antique side board I was refinishing. I knew that I could not match it exactly, it was purchased in the 70's at a auction and was from England. I found some pieces in different odds and ends for about 5.00. Thank you

Hippo is probably the place I miss most when I'm out of town. I know, "why would you miss a hardware store?" - but when I'm visiting relatives and trying to help out with a project in the house I grew up in, my first inclination is "Hippo will have that (insert name of old house part)". Then, I remember that a big box store is pretty much my only option in that particular time zone. So, thank you to Hippo for being my go-to spot for whatever thing I need to keep my old house creaking along.

Colin crushing it again! Look at how this hundred (plus) year old exterior door knob came in busted and bruised in color from daily use all that time… half hour or so and it’s shining like it’s 1920 again! Thank you for awesome customer service and affordable work every time!

I love this place. It’s my go to for all the odds and ends I need to fix my 1916 craftsman bungalow. Colin is incredible with all the vintage locks and doorknobs I have brought him to get back into working order and even get new skeleton keys for! I can’t say enough about this place! Prices are great too! So if you need something a little off kilter to finish out the perfect room, you’ll find it here!

This is a very interesting store. You can get lost in it with all the amazing wonderful things they have. Check my video out is the outside of the whole store. Show some great artwork.

My go-to store to find items that match my 1915 home, or buy vintage lighting. Hippo hardware has old door knobs, door bells, nuts and bolts, doors and windows, baths and toilets, and even more! You have to visit this store, it's fun and the people are nice and knowledgeable. Go here and enjoy!
