Wheeler Hardware

Year after year, generation after generation, Wheeler Hardware Company remains dedicated to flexible, customized service! Mellette Wheeler founded Wheeler Hardware Company in 1945 in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. After World War II, Mellette and his son Willard saw the future in commercial construction and remodeling, and by 1952 they had set a course for Wheeler to become the dedicated commercial hardware distributor and hollow metal fabricator the company is today. Since Mellette's retirement in 1962, Willard has seen the company grow from five employees to more than thirty-five, including the 1972 Shoreview expansion into metal door fabrication under the management of the firm's partner, Jim McCulloch. Since that time, Jim's son Paul and Willard's son Kirk have joined the business and carried on their joint family traditions of growth and flexibility-the hallmark of Wheeler Hardware. In 2001 the company acquired Stan's Door Service, Inc., a full-service company with over thirty-five years' experience in maintaining, repairing, and installing automatic door systems. That same year, the Door and Frame Shop and the Hardware Sales Division merged and moved into the company's new location in Roseville, making Wheeler Hardware Company an efficient competitor equipped for the 21st century. After Kirk Wheeler lost his courageous battle with cancer in December of 2003, Paul McCulloch purchased the remaining shares of Wheeler Hardware Company. We are proud to have built our reputation for service and quality over the last 58 years, and we remain "Dedicated to Flexible, Customized Service!"
