About Gladiator Window and Doors – Premium Sliding Glass Doors & Windows

Built Different. Priced Fair. Zero Shortcuts.

Most door companies won’t tell you this, so we will:

A door should not cost $40,000.
And quality should never be reserved for people willing to overpay.

That belief is exactly why Gladiator Window & Doors exists.

What started as helping contractors source better doors without breaking budgets turned into something much bigger — shaking up an industry that had gotten way too comfortable with insane markups, shortcuts, and excuses.

Why We Started Gladiator

We were in the industry.
We were buying the doors.
We were paying the prices.

And we finally said, enough.

Every project felt like the same impossible choice:

Overpay $40–50K for a “premium” door
Or gamble on cheap imported doors that fail in 1–2 years

That monopoly on “quality” didn’t sit right with us.

So we did what most people won’t — we started manufacturing our own doors, the right way, from the ground up, with factories that have 30+ years of real manufacturing experience.

No shortcuts.
No fluff.
No nonsense.

Factory Direct. No Middleman. No Games.

We are factory direct — period.

No retail stores.
No distributors adding margins.
No middlemen inflating prices just because they can.

That means:

Better materials
Better engineering
Better pricing
And more value built into every single door

We Upgrade Every Door. No Upcharges. Ever.

Most companies sell a “base door” and nickel-and-dime you for upgrades.

We hate that.

So we do the opposite.

Every Gladiator door comes standard with upgrades others charge thousands for:

✔ Advanced Seal Package
Why? Because cheap seals cause glass fogging, energy loss, and ruined doors. We prevent that from day one — saving you on energy bills and headaches.

✔ Low-Profile Track (Standard)
We don’t believe anyone should pay extra to avoid a trip hazard. No 3–6” monster tracks. Clean. Modern. Easy to walk across.

✔ 6mm Glass (Not 5mm)
Thicker glass = stronger, quieter, longer-lasting doors. Most brands cut this corner. We don’t.

✔ Heavy-Duty Rollers, Bearings & Hardware
Smooth operation today. Smooth operation years from now.

✔ Thicker Aluminum Frames
We don’t sell vinyl. We don’t sell flimsy. Our aluminum frames are nearly double the thickness of most competitors.

Why do we include all of this?
Because as a manufacturer, it costs us $200–$500 to do it right — and we’d rather do that than deal with warranty claims, failures, and unhappy customers.

Industry-Leading Warranty (Check the Fine Print Elsewhere)

Let’s be honest — warranties tell the real story.

❌ Cheap factories: 1–5 years
❌ Online “deal” doors: vague coverage, lots of exclusions
✅ Gladiator: Long-term, proven warranty that actually means something

If a door only lasts two years, it wasn’t a deal — it was a mistake.

Packaging That’s Honestly Unmatched

We don’t toss doors on pallets.
We don’t use open crates with holes.
We don’t cut corners to save $20.

Every order is shipped in a fully enclosed custom wooden crate

Costs us nearly $1,000 per order
Protects against impact, shifting, moisture, and freight damage
Reduces delays, replacements, and installation nightmares

We also:
✔ Fully insure every shipment
✔ Pay for liftgate delivery
✔ Ship knowing freight companies handle insured crates more carefully

Why? Because damaged doors help no one.

Ready-to-Install. Not a Puzzle.

Here’s something most people don’t realize:

Some brands ship doors unassembled and expect homeowners or installers to mount the glass themselves.

That’s insane.

Every Gladiator door arrives:
✔ Pre-assembled
✔ Pre-fitted
✔ Hardware included
✔ Handles installed
✔ Ready to install

No guesswork. No stress. No surprises.

Built to Code. Built to Last.

Our doors are:
✔ Tested
✔ Certified
✔ Compliant with U.S. building codes

You can verify certifications directly in our product images.

Many imported doors fail inspections — and that failure gets expensive fast.

Why Cheaper Doors End Up Costing More

Let’s keep it real:

❌ Thin frames and weak glass
❌ Poor packaging = damaged deliveries
❌ No U.S. compliance = failed inspections
❌ Cheap tracks that stick, warp, and wear out

If you’re replacing a door in two years, you didn’t save money — you delayed the loss.

Why We’re Growing So Fast

Simple.

We put quality before profit.
Always.

We don’t upsell.
We don’t gatekeep upgrades.
We don’t inflate pricing because “that’s what the industry does.”

And people notice.

Contractors.
Developers.
Homeowners.

All across the U.S. — and beyond.

This Isn’t Just a Brand. It’s a Movement.

Gladiator Window & Doors isn’t about selling doors.
It’s about stopping overpayment.
Stopping shortcuts.
Stopping the idea that quality has to hurt financially.

This is the team that cares.
The product that turns heads.
The doors people talk about after installation.

Welcome to Gladiator.
Upgrade once. Install with confidence.
