Old Portland Hardware & Architectural — Local services in Portland

MUST-SEE bounty of incredible architectural salvage with something for everyone, even on a budget. Salvage stores can feel dusty & overwhelming with this much inventory, but at Old Portland everything is impeccably organized and beautifully displayed. Whatever your interest, the welcoming & friendly staff are more than happy to help. They're also extremely patient if, say, you want to see 50 different antique door knobs under a glass case; in fact, they seem just as enthusiastic as you are to check them out.

The people here REALLY know their products, not just how to fit them logistically into modern structures. Every knob of the 200 or so in the case I looked at is ornately unique, and each comes with a label noting details about the date & manufacturer as researched by an employee. That's not just dedication, that's love, and you can feel it in every display. I walked in hoping to find unique gift under $100 for someone I love, and walked out with the perfect treasure $15 under budget - and it's a really, really cool one.

The pricing is very fair, the people are the best, and the store has the ideal inventory and atmosphere for an afternoon of enjoyable browsing. Highly, highly recommended! I'll be back and will spread...

Oh my good god is this place amazing! Was visiting Portland for the first time and came across this spot on my last day there. If you are someone who gets excited when you notice intricate old hinges in a house, deliciously lavish lighting, or elegant antique door knobs, this spot will not only have you in awe, but they will definitely have what you need. The folks working that day were so helpful and informative!! I didn’t catch the young woman’s name but she offered a great solution for how to find the right key for my old interior mortise locks (without bringing them in since I live out of state). Her solution worked and I definitely did a happy dance. Having beautiful old door knobs is one of the delightful details that drew me to my home, but actually having control of the locks just feels so dang fancy!!...

This place is awesome. It's the perfect blend of cool Portland vibes to find something unique and also find exactly the thing you need. The layout is beautiful, organized and well curated. The prices range from an absolute steal on common items to very expensive for more rare items. If you need any hardware for an old door this is the first and only place I would look. It is really the one stop shop for old door hardware because of how organized it is.

The service is absolutely amazing. I came in looking for a strike plate for an old door and they had exactly what I needed for a reasonable price. The lady working there understood everything related to these doors and explained a lot about them to me. She also showed me other items I was looking for but I wasn't quite...
