What Huntington Hardware does

Huntington Hardware is a privately held, family-owned distributor of architectural, security, and decorative door hardware headquartered at 340 W. Holt Avenue in Pomona, California. Founded in 1954 by Andrew Oshay as a general hardware store, the company narrowed its focus to door hardware and has been continuously operated by the Oshay family for three generations. The firm stocks more than 50,000 SKUs sourced from over 150 vendor brands, including Baldwin, Schlage, Hager, Yale, Emtek, Kwikset, Sargent, Von Duprin, LCN, Medeco, and Securitron. Its offering spans hinges, handlesets, locks, cabinet hardware, panic bars, closers, weatherstripping, electronic access control, and biometric hardware products, plus value-added services such as in-house locksmith work, specification writing, code-compliance consultation, same-day shipping, and will-call pickup from the Pomona showroom.

The business operates on a wholesale-to-retail distribution model with one-time, unit-priced transactions rather than subscriptions or recurring contracts. Pricing is quote-based for custom and specialty items and incorporates vendor-driven tariffs and surcharges that are passed through to buyers. The sales motion is sales-led and relationship-driven: phone-based inside sales, walk-in and appointment-based showroom visits (cabinet hardware selection requires appointment), and direct wholesale shipments to trade and end customers across the United States. Customer segments span trade professionals (door shops, lumber yards, locksmiths), institutional buyers (hospitals, airports, professional sports stadiums, multi-family housing projects), architects and designers needing specification support, and individual homeowners seeking decorative and vintage replacement parts.

Underlying technology is centered on a distribution and inventory management system supporting SKUs across 150+ vendors; no proprietary software platforms, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. Marketing and customer acquisition rely on the company website (huntingtonhardware.com), price book downloads, and direct sales engagement rather than digital advertising. The firm is described as a nationwide distributor, though all operations are run from a single Pomona campus. Ownership is fully family-controlled across the Oshay family with no disclosed outside investors, parent company, or M&A activity.
