Easy to reach there from I-271, exits to OH-82 or OH-8, depends on which way you are driving to. Proceed northbound on OH-8 to Meadow Ln, first driveway to the right. They start at 7.30. Very friendly staff and fast unloading. No gates and security shack, overnight parking is highly probable;

Nice products. I got Hy-Ko 911 address plate from a local Home Depot store. Used Hy-Ko products through the years. Somebody pulled a Fourth of July explosive prank on my mailbox the evening before. Old mailbox has Hy-Ko labels on it. Put the new 911 address kit to replace it. Great visibility.

Bought a pack of 3 stencils from Wal-Mart, to have my Maintenance worker number 8 house's curb addresses. My worker spent an hour separating each stencil, and removing every knockout! I wound up upside down on this task! Thanks!

Not sure if the glowing review is for them or from the place Canadian Tire that I ordered the key from, but boy, did these guys save me a ton of $$$! Lost my remote chip key, so instead of going back to Toyota to get it replaced for something stupid like $350 AND $50 for programming, you can get one made for just $80! And still works like a charm. For those non-car enthusiasts, if you try to start these chip-ignition systems with a regular valet key, or a copy of just the key itself, you can actually lock the whole ignition system, obviously won't be able to crank the engine. Granted, for this low price, you won't get the real fob that can unlock/lock your doors. So for me, still worth it as I only have one original left lol. Only took 5 min. to make. comes with a handy, solid case.
