Why Glideaway?

Glideaway was founded with one simple rule: do good work, and stand by it.
 35+ years later, we’ve worked with and gained the trust of great facilities across New Zealand,
without straying from this core value.

We’re not about quick fixes. We’re about doors that work — whatever the size, spec, or sector.

Auckland & Northland

We specify high-corrosion finishes and
salt-air-rated hardware to last through the
West Coast spray.

Wellington & Central NZ

We use reinforced bracing and high-performance tracking engineered for Wellington's gust zones.

Christchurch & South Island

Insulated panel options suited for cold mornings, big temperature swings, and other harsh weather conditions.

“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."
