Toepfer Security

Founded on Tradition, Built for the Future

Toepfer Security Corporation, a Milwaukee mainstay since 1862, boasts a rich history rooted in craftsmanship and innovation. Beginning as Toepfer Safe & Lock, the company was founded by Frank Toepfer, driven by a passion for mechanical ingenuity and a keen eye for the evolving needs of the security industry. His commitment to quality and forward-thinking solutions established the foundation for a century and a half of success. Frank's entrepreneurial spirit extended beyond safe and lock work, leading him to delve into the nascent automotive world, collaborating with Gottfried Schloemer to build one of the earliest gasoline-powered vehicles in Milwaukee. This pioneering spirit continues to fuel Toepfer Security's commitment to staying at the forefront of security technologies.

The company's legacy passed through the generations, with Frank's grandson, Edwin Jr., taking the helm in 1959. Ed Jr. embodied his grandfather's dedication to innovation, contributing over 200 patents to the automotive and security industries, including his groundbreaking design of the universally adopted Electric Strike. From intricate grillwork to advanced security systems, Toepfer Security has consistently adapted to the changing needs of its clientele, leaving an indelible mark on the city of Milwaukee.
