Gator Gates is a limited liability company founded in 2006, in Brooklyn. The company's founder first figured out the potential of coiling gates whilst spending time, as a child, around his grandparents' storage facility in Tampa, Florida. Playing around hundreds of storage facilities, he became fascinated with their design and their content, including the specific coiling gates. Many years later, he would decide to open Gator Gates, one of the country's prime coiling doors companies.
