Socket Shield was born from a desire to make homes and spaces safer for families, children and pets. Created by brothers Alex and Austin Oliver, Socket Shield represents their passion for innovative problem-solving and practical safety solutions. Growing up with entrepreneurial dreams, the Oliver's always envisioned creating a business together. With Alex’s technical expertise and Austin’s operational strength, they founded Oliver Innovations, LLC., a family-owned business based in the Midwest USA, with a focus on quality and dependability.

Through Socket Shield, Alex and Austin sought to address a common safety issue—unprotected electrical outlets, which pose risks, especially in homes with children or pets. They designed Socket Shield to offer seamless protection with an intuitive, easy-to-use solution that closes and locks after use, providing peace of mind for parents, caregivers, and anyone responsible for creating safe spaces. Their design eliminates the need for unattractive plastic covers and outdated safety methods, focusing instead on a sleek, closing and locking mechanism that blends effortlessly with any room’s décor.

Socket Shield is the first of many planned innovations from Oliver Innovations, and it reflects the brothers’ dedication to making practical, high-quality products for everyday use. Manufactured in the USA, Socket Shield represents Alex and Austin’s commitment to supporting American-made products and maintaining strict quality standards. For them, Socket Shield is more than just a product—it’s a promise of safety, quality, and ease of mind for families, caregivers, and business owners alike.

With plans for future products, Oliver Innovations is committed to finding new ways to enhance safety and simplify life. Socket Shield is just the beginning of a long line of thoughtfully designed solutions to meet modern safety needs.
