How Is Our Company Different?

We do not sell cheap stock doors.

Every Gladiator door is built up from the frame out — all-aluminum, upgraded moving parts, factory-assembled, crated and insured, and backed by a 15-year warranty that covers the parts that actually wear.

Not A Stock Door · No Upcharges

8 things every Gladiator has that a stock door doesn't.

Most companies sell the same off-the-shelf base door, strip it down to hit a price, ship it in pieces, and charge extra for everything else. We start where they stop.

Stock Door

Vinyl, clad or wood-core frames

Thin-wall extrusions that flex and rattle. Vinyl warps, chalks and sags; wood cores rot and swell.

01

All-Aluminum. Thicker Walls.

Aluminum frame, top to bottom, with nearly double the wall thickness of most competitors. Stiffer panels, better sound blocking, nothing to rot or warp.

Built for coastal weatherCompare
Stock Door

Base-grade rollers

The cheapest rollers and bearings that hit the price — the first parts to grind, drag and fail.

02

Upgraded Rollers, Bearings & Hardware

Heavy-duty rollers, sealed bearings, and premium handles on every unit — the parts that actually wear out.

Smooth for yearsCompare
Stock Door

Moving parts: 1–2 years

Long frame warranties that quietly exclude the rollers, bearings and hardware — the parts that actually break.

03

15-Year Warranty. Moving Parts Included.

Our warranty covers the rollers, bearings and hardware, not just the frame. We can do that because they're upgraded.

Covers what breaksCompare
Top-Hung Systems

Heavy structural headers

Panel weight hangs from above, so the opening needs a reinforced header and more framing labor.

04

Bottom-Hung Engineering

Panel weight rides on the sill track, not the header — so there's no heavy structural header to build out.

Less framing workCompare
Stock Door

5mm glass, cheap seals

The cut-corner standard. Cheap seals lead to fogged glass, energy loss and ruined doors.

05

6mm Glass. Advanced Seals.

6mm reinforced, dual-pane Low-E glass with a premium multi-point seal package — stronger, quieter and tighter from day one.

No fogging, no draftsCompare
Stock Door

3–6″ "monster" tracks

A tall sill that trips people up — or an upcharge if you want to avoid it.

06

Low-Profile Track, Included

Clean, modern, and easy to walk across — standard on every order, not an option you pay extra for.

No trip hazardCompare
Stock Door

Knocked down, on a pallet

Shipped in pieces to save freight, strapped to a pallet, uninsured — and assembled in the field.

07

Assembled, Crated & Insured

Factory-assembled and fitted, shipped in a fully enclosed custom wood crate by specialty freight, fully insured at our cost.

Arrives ready to installCompare
Dealer Brands

Two or three layers of markup

Retailer, distributor and dealer all take a cut — and many imports can't pass inspection.

08

Factory-Direct. Certified.

No middleman taking a cut — the margin goes into the door. NFRC certified and California Title 24 compliant on every unit.

Premium, no premium taxCompare

Thousands in upgrades. Zero upcharges.

All 8 come standard on every Gladiator door — the ones others charge extra for, or don't offer at all.

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

Why We Started

The industry got too comfortable.

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 imports that fail in 1–2 years

That monopoly on "quality" didn't sit right with us. So we started manufacturing our own doors, the right way, with factories that have 30+ years of real manufacturing experience.

No shortcuts. No fluff. No nonsense.

States We Ship To
As a manufacturer, it costs us $200–$500 more to do it right — and we'd rather do that than deal with warranty claims, failures, and unhappy customers.

Industry-Leading Warranty

Warranties tell the real story.

Let's be honest. If a door only lasts two years, it wasn't a deal — it was a mistake.

We back our doors with a 15-year warranty that includes the moving parts — because when you build it right the first time, you can afford to stand behind it.
