About Gatekeepers

As owners and founders of Gatekeepers, we are proud to offer our unique, well-designed gates to help make life easier and safer.

It all started a while back when our then-one-year-old son fell through a gate that was installed at the top of our staircase. Fortunately he was ok, but it prompted my wife, Lori and me to seriously look for a new way to keep him safe near the stairs.

With the help of an accomplished woodworker, we were able to create a new, stronger gate for the top of our staircase. A tremendous amount of time and effort went into getting it right, but the end-result was certainly worth it. We now had a gate that was not only strong and safe, it was absolutely beautiful.

What a relief -- it was the answer we were looking for! And as it turns out, many others needed a gate like ours for a number of different reasons. Not only do households with small children need these gates, but what about those who care for aging individuals who may tend to wander or lose their footing easily? Or how about those who have loved ones with special needs, or pets that need to be confined to certain areas of the home?

Lori and I started to enjoy a strong sense of security once gates were installed in our home, and we wanted others to feel this same way too. We had a hunch we were on to something, and it didn’t take long before…Gatekeepers
was born!

Today, Gatekeepers remains a family-owned and operated business that’s steadily expanding to meet the needs of families and businesses throughout the upper Midwest. Our representatives in Milwaukee, Chicago, Madison, Minneapolis and more understand and share our steadfast mission: to keep loved ones safe and secure.
