Commonly Asked Questions

Architects, builders, and specifiers’ most commonly asked questions.

Can you manufacture doors for non-standard openings?

Yes. Custom engineering is our specialty. We design and build bespoke doors for complex architectural dimensions, zero-headroom constraints, and specialized industrial specs.

Do you provide support for architects and specifiers?

Yes. We offer comprehensive B2B technical backup, including full CAD/BIM files, early-stage design consultations, and custom architectural specification support.

What's the benefit of NZ-made vs. imported?

Shorter lead times, structural customization that off-the-shelf imports can't match, and engineering built specifically to survive NZ's harsh seismic, wind, and coastal elements.

Do you install nationwide?

Yes. We deliver and install across NZ using our dedicated teams in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch, paired with a trusted network of regional partners.

How fast can I get a quote?

Standard pricing is turned around within 24–48 hours. For intricate commercial plans, our engineering team will review your specs and provide a comprehensive response within 2 business days.

Real customers, real projects, real words from brands who have

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