About us
Proudly New Zealand-Owned and Operated
The Glideaway story began more than 35 years ago, when our grandad built the business here in NZ. Over the decades, what began as a small, family-run company has grown into a nationwide provider of residential, commercial, and specialist garage doors. While we may be bigger, we’re still 100% family-owned and operated, and that local connection is at the heart of everything we do.
Being a New Zealand-owned and operated business means that we understand the demands of the local environment, and of our customers. Kiwis want garage doors that perform, service that’s straightforward, and advice that makes sense. At Glideaway, that’s what we do - and we do it well.
Never Afraid of a Challenge
No two jobs are ever the same, and we like it that way. From standard garage doors to one-of-a-kind architectural designs, there’s no job too big or small for our team. Some sites are complex, some specs are tricky, and some timelines are tight, but we focus on finding solutions, not excuses.
We work closely with every client to understand the vision for their project, offering support and recommendations to make sure it’s achievable. We’ll never cut corners or back down from a challenge - instead, we rise to it, going the extra mile to design and manufacture garage doors that solve your problem.
A Trusted Name for Decades
For more than three decades, homeowners, builders, architects, and commercial clients across New Zealand have trusted Glideaway to supply quality garage doors. But our reputation wasn’t built overnight. It’s grown steadily over the years, thanks to our focus on doing good work that we’re proud to stand behind.
We focus on building long-term relationships based on consistency, reliability and communication. Because when you choose Glideaway, you’re choosing a team that takes pride in every project.

"Glideaway has proved to a professional outfit to deal with. The garage door install was done by them and not a contractor, I couldn't fault this guy - a highly experienced, skilled, hard worker!There door system was high quality, but ultimately every door is different and this is here the experience of the installer comes to play.Quality all round."
