I need to replace some nuts and bolts and a door hinge in my apartment.

I asked many of my friends if they knew of a hardware store to get such items and all I found was a crappy little place in an underground shopping mall which didn't have anything I needed.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Guro or Cheongyecheon.

Guro Station, on the northwest exit, cross the plaza and cross the street. Guro Tool Market is the largest in Korea.

Second place is along the Euljiro/Jongno-ro, by the stream. It's the second best place to go (or first best IF you know the stores - great place between Euljiro something and Jongno 3-ga). Either way, that's where you go.

I've noticed a lack of hardware stores in Korea. I guess they're hidden away in the back alleys. I guess there isn't enough space between all the coffee shops and phone shops in korea!

For your information the korean word for hardware store is 철물점.

Thanks for the info!
