Getting the Best Value on Your Garage Door
Professional Measuring
Accurate measurements prevents costly errors. Professional measurement ensures correct sizing and identifies any structural requirements before ordering.
Built to Last
Quality materials and construction reduce long term maintenance costs. A well made garage door typically lasts 15-20 years with basic care.
Right Door Selection
Choose the door type that matches your requirements. Roller doors provide excellent value for standard applications. Sectional doors suit homes where design matters. Specialty doors work for unique architectural designs.
Plan for Automation
Installing a motor during initial installation costs less than retrofitting later. Consider automation from the start if you’ll want it eventually.

FAQs About Garage Doors Prices
How long does a garage door last?
A Gliderol garage door typically lasts 15-20 years with regular maintenance. Lifespan depends on climate exposure, usage frequency, installation quality, and maintenance schedule.
Can I install a garage door myself?
Professional installation is strongly recommended. Garage doors are heavy (50-150kg+), operate under spring tension, and require precise installation for safe operation. DIY installation typically voids manufacturer warranties.
Do prices include GST?
Yes, all prices quoted by Gliderol dealers include GST where applicable.
How much does installation cost separately?
Professional installation typically costs $300-$800 depending on door type, size, and complexity. Complex installations requiring structural work may cost more. Our indicative prices include installation for transparency.
Can I add a motor to my existing door?
In most cases, yes. If your existing door is in good working condition, adding automation costs less than full replacement. Motors range from $500-$2,000 installed. A Gliderol dealer can assess your door’s suitability for motorisation.
Are motors included in door prices?
No, motors are priced separately. This allows you to choose manual operation or select the automation level that suits your needs and budget.
