Chye Hup Joo and Company is a hardware store at 354 Clementi Ave 2 in Clementi, Singapore, with a Google rating of 4.0.
Neighbourhood hardware shops live on the small, awkward jobs: the single hinge, the tap washer, the exact screw to replace the one that sheared off. The surest way to get the right part is to bring the old one along, since a practised eye can match threads, sizes and materials in seconds. These are also the shops to ask which anchor suits a hollow door or which sealant holds on tile — the sort of advice that saves a second trip to the big-box store.
For flat dwellers around Clementi Avenue 2, having a hardware shop with a solid local rating on the doorstep is something you only truly appreciate the day something drips, jams or falls apart.
