Gatemaster joins the American Fence Association as US demand continues to grow

Gatemaster is pleased to announce that we have joined the American Fence Association.

With demand continuing to rise across the US fence and gate market, joining the AFA is an important step in growing our presence and strengthening our connection to the industry. Gatemaster products are built tough for real-world gate applications, with a focus on reliable performance, practical installation, and dependable security.

As a member of the AFA, we look forward to building relationships across the market, learning from industry professionals, and supporting the businesses that specify, fabricate, install, and sell gate hardware every day.

Strengthening our connection with the US market

At Gatemaster, we believe the best hardware is shaped by real-world applications. That means staying close to the challenges contractors, fabricators, manufacturers, and distributors face every day.

Joining the American Fence Association gives us more opportunities to do exactly that. It helps us stay connected to the people working across the industry, understand what matters most in the field, and keep building a clearer picture of how needs vary across the US market.

That matters in a market as broad and varied as the United States, where project requirements, site conditions, and customer expectations can differ widely across residential, commercial, industrial, and high-security applications.

Supporting the professionals we serve

Across every part of the market, professionals are looking for products they can count on: gate locks and hardware that fit the application, installs without unnecessary hassle, and holds up to daily use.

Those are the same priorities that shape our approach at Gatemaster.

We design products to solve practical gate hardware challenges and perform reliably in demanding outdoor environments. As a member of the AFA, we can stay closer to the conversations shaping the market and keep our products and support aligned with the needs of the professionals who specify, fabricate, install, stock, and sell gate hardware every day.

Learning from the wider industry

One of the most valuable parts of AFA membership is the opportunity to learn from the wider industry.

The fence and gate market runs on practical knowledge. It is shaped by the experience of the people designing, building, installing, and maintaining systems in the field. Being part of the association gives us more opportunities to listen, exchange ideas, and stay informed on the issues that matter across the market.

For us, that supports a practical, customer-focused approach. The better we understand the day-to-day demands of the industry, the better we can serve it.

Building relationships that support long-term growth

Joining the American Fence Association is also part of how we build for long-term growth in the US.

We want that growth to be grounded in real market understanding, strong industry relationships, and products that earn trust through performance. Membership helps us deepen those connections, strengthen our knowledge of the market, and play a more active role in the industry as we continue to grow in the United States.

Looking ahead

As Gatemaster expands its presence in the US, we want to do it in a way that is practical, informed, and useful to the professionals we serve.

Joining the American Fence Association is a positive step in that direction. It reflects our commitment to understanding the market, supporting the industry, and delivering gate hardware built for the demands of real-world use.

We are pleased to be part of the association and look forward to engaging with AFA members and the wider US fence and gate community in the years ahead.
