Chop Wah Thye is a hardware store at #01-17, 101 Yishun Ave 5 in Yishun, Singapore, with a 3.8 Google rating from local customers. A good neighbourhood hardware store earns its keep on the small jobs: a single bolt to match, a replacement hinge, a length of chain cut to size while you wait. The most useful habit is to bring the worn or broken part with you rather than describing it, since threads and widths are much easier to match by eye. Staff who have worked a counter for years can often name the piece straightaway and suggest what will survive Singapore's humidity, so ask rather than guess. Regulars tend to try the neighbourhood shop before ordering online, because the right part is so often already on a shelf nearby. For Yishun households with a dripping tap or a stubborn lock, Chop Wah Thye is a handy stop on Yishun Ave 5.
