The Kenton Brothers Museum: 1897-Present.

Keeping KC locked up for over 114 years?  No, really. We’re not joking.

How many small businesses do you know that are 114 years old?  How many of those companies call Kansas City home? Of that list, how many have been owned by the same family for four generations?

Not many companies can claim that distinction. Kenton Brothers has been in business since 1897, originally providing the services of locksmith, umbrella repair, and yes, even lawnmower sharpening!

As a tribute to our proud and storied history, we have a space in our office that we lovingly refer to as the Kenton Brothers Museum. “The Museum” is a veritable treasure trove of artifacts that have been collected and saved over the years. Perusing through the items and photos, you are taken on a journey through the incredible history of our company. It is both humbling and amazing to see the origins of Kenton Brothers and it’s a testament to the fact that our team has been dedicated for 114 years to the locksmith trade and the security industry.

Of the museum, 4th Generation CEO Gina Stuelke said: “There aren’t very many businesses that are able to showcase a living history of the various products we’ve provided and customers we’ve served in our 114-year history.  Through our mini museum, we are able to pay tribute to previous generations of leaders and the “cool” factor of being a part of Kansas City’s history.”

We are the oldest security and locksmith shop in Kansas City and continue to offer unsurpassed knowledge and experience when it comes to keeping our customers and their buildings secure.
