About Us

Gates2U Custom Pet and Baby Gates Started with this Rescue Dog, Prince, in 2002

Nine Years of National Sales. Gates2U is proud to have reached its nineth year of selling gates nationwide. Gates2U, a tradename of Hebell LLC, has sold hundreds of custom gates across the continental USA. Each of these gate sales resulted from a back-and-forth dialog with our customers by phone, email or online chat. We consider this the most important part of our operations.

How We Started. Gates2U was formed as a division of Urban Revivals LLC in 2003. Urban Revivals, owned and operated by Cheryl Campbell, was providing historic home restoration services in the Washington DC metro area. Services included a number of artisan and woodworking specialties: historic tile restoration, gilding, ornamental tin ceilings, plaster repair, and historic woodwork restoration.

Ms. Campbell, owner and engineer, was providing restoration services for historic Victorian homes in Dupont Circle when she received requests from her clients, who needed gates to match their historic staircases and landings. Coincidentally, Ms. Campbell had just created a hand-crafted gate for her newly adopted rescue dog named Prince. Prince was a very active Shiba Inu who insisted on bothering a very old cat. He could really jump! Ms. Campbell used her design for Prince's gate, for her client's gate. The installed gate was so well received, that a new product line was launched. When the gates were reviewed in the Washingtonian magazine in 2004, our national shipments commenced. We still honor Prince by keeping his picture on some of our web pages! Prince, our mascot, is still around, and we still offer discounts to animal rescue leagues.

Our Move to Maryland as Hebell LLC. In 2006, Gates2U moved from Washington to Maryland, so that all attention could be focused on the gate products alone. We closed Urban Revivals and re-incorporated as Hebell LLC. Gates2U is now is a tradename of Hebell LLC of Maryland. We are located in Greensboro MD, in business-friendly Caroline County.

Insured and in Good Standing. We hold liability and general business insurance through Avon-Dixon Inc. of Easton MD and Selective Insurance. Hebell LLC is a company in good standing with the State of Maryland, meeting all tax and licensing regulations. We are also a proud member of the Caroline County Chamber of Commerce.

A Family Run Business. Since 2002, we've added staff, but we're still a family run business. We pride ourselves on providing a custom gate solution with fast delivery and polite customer service.

We encourage our customers to let us know of new requirements, ideas, and anything we can do to provide an even better shopping experience.
