Gatekeepers Aging Adult & Special Needs Gates


Gatekeepers was born out of the need to protect our child with a durable and completely reliable baby gate. But over the years, as our company has grown, we’ve realized there are several different needs to install safety gates in homes or businesses.

In addition to Baby Gates and Pet Gates, we’ve found that caretakers of older adults or children with special needs find safety gates of great benefit. We also make gates to protect little ones from fireplaces, seniors from falling down stairs, and businesses looking to restrict access to certain areas.

Not only are our gates absolutely beautiful, but most importantly, our gates are safe. Our popular Swing Gate has successfully passed the ASTM F1004 Performance Test and has been pressure tested to 500 pounds.  Too many safety gates offer little more than a visual deterrent, while Gatekeepers safety gates are made of solid wood, securely mounted and feature sturdy hardware.

Gatekeepers special needs gates offer the following features:

  • Custom made to fit any size stairway, door opening or hallway

  • Mounted with safe, strong, minimally invasive hardware

  • Unique, innovative safety latch that is difficult for small children to operate, yet simple enough for an adult to open with one finger

  • Available in white oak, maple, red oak or cherry wood and dozens of Sherwin Williams stain/paint color options

  • Innovative slide rail system that allows for easy removal

Not only will you be impressed with Gatekeepers special needs gates, you’ll also appreciate the service and support we provide. From initial phone consultation to final installation of your beautiful gates, we guarantee your satisfaction.

Gatekeepers is AWESOME!

"It is so rare that I run into a service provider that meets or exceeds my expectations, but Gatekeepers went far beyond anything I could have imagined. My 91-year old mother suddenly decided to move back into her condo, and we needed to quickly put safety measures in place. I reached out to Gatekeepers on Memorial Day via email and within 10 minutes Tom called me and later that day we did a real-time video where we measured the stairwell opening and put the order in place (yes on a HOLIDAY!). Gatekeepers let me know the status all the way through the process and the gate was delivered EXACTLY on the delivery date. Gatekeepers hardcopy instructions and video support guided me throughout the entire process. But more than that - the gate was of such high quality and workmanship - it looked like it was created by the same carpenter who created the original stairway and woodwork. I couldn't be happier with the product! I recommend Gatekeepers without hesitation!"
