The glass door price in Hyderabad ranges from roughly Rs 450 per sq ft for a framed aluminium door to about Rs 1,400 per sq ft for a top-hung manual slider, while a fully automatic sensor entrance is priced as a complete system between Rs 90,000 and Rs 2,50,000 installed. The honest answer to "how much does a glass door cost" is that it depends on the door type: a frameless toughened swing door, a spider-fitting patch door and a motorised sliding door sit at very different price points. This guide gives you current, indicative INR ranges so you can plan your budget confidently before you call for a site quote.
Hakimi Aluminium and Glass fabricates and installs frameless and toughened glass doors across Hyderabad, Secunderabad and the wider Telangana and Andhra Pradesh region, for showrooms, clinics, offices, hotels, restaurants and homes. As both a fabrication specialist and an authorised hardware dealer for Taiton, Enox and Ozone, we price the glass and the hardware together, which is exactly where most vendor quotes quietly hide their real cost.
Below we break down the price of each glass door category, the hardware and fittings that move the number up or down, realistic installed costs in the local market, and how to compare quotes so you are not caught out by cheap glass or unbranded fittings.

Glass Door Price in Hyderabad at a Glance (2026 Rate Card)
As a quick reference, here are typical supplied-and-installed ranges in the Hyderabad and Secunderabad market for 2026. Prices assume 12mm toughened glass unless noted and include standard hardware and fitting.
- Framed aluminium glass door: Rs 450 to Rs 750 per sq ft
- Frameless toughened swing door (12mm): Rs 550 to Rs 900 per sq ft
- Patch-fitting / spider glass door: Rs 700 to Rs 1,200 per sq ft
- Manual sliding glass door (top-hung): Rs 800 to Rs 1,400 per sq ft
- Automatic sensor sliding door (single or double leaf): Rs 90,000 to Rs 2,50,000 per unit installed
A standard single frameless door of about 3ft x 7ft (roughly 21 sq ft) therefore lands around Rs 14,000 to Rs 24,000 with basic hardware, and Rs 25,000 to Rs 35,000 once you add a premium floor spring and lock. An automatic entrance for a showroom or clinic is priced as a complete system rather than per sq ft, because the operator, sensors and controller dominate the cost. Treat these as planning numbers: your final rate depends on opening size, glass grade and the specific hardware you choose. You can see finished examples of each door type in our recent projects.
Frameless Glass Doors: What Drives the Cost
Frameless doors are the most popular choice for offices, boutiques, salons and glass shopfronts across Hyderabad because they look clean and maximise visibility. The glass itself is only part of the price; hardware quality is often the bigger variable, and it is where a good dealer earns their value.
- Glass thickness: 10mm costs less, while 12mm is the standard for full-height doors and adds roughly 15 to 20 percent
- Floor spring and patch fittings: branded units from Ozone, Enox or Dorma add Rs 3,000 to Rs 12,000 per door
- Locks and access: a matching patch lock or access system adds Rs 1,500 to Rs 6,000
- Edgework and cut-outs: holes for handles, locks and D-pulls add fabrication charges
- Finish: clear glass is cheapest, while tinted, frosted or ceramic-print glass raises the rate by 20 to 40 percent
The patch fittings at the top and bottom rail are what carry the door and give it that minimal frameless look, so this is never the place to economise. For a quality frameless door with a good floor spring and lock, most Hyderabad clients spend Rs 18,000 to Rs 30,000 per door installed. If you want the same visual language extended to your storefront, our glass shopfront service pairs frameless doors with matching fixed glazing.
Automatic Glass Doors: Systems and Pricing
Automatic sliding glass doors are increasingly standard for hospitals, malls, corporate lobbies, banks and premium retail across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Pricing is driven by the sensor-and-motor operator rather than just the glass, so these are quoted as complete systems.
- Entry-level single-leaf sensor system: Rs 90,000 to Rs 1,40,000 installed
- Double-leaf (bi-parting) system with branded operator: Rs 1,50,000 to Rs 2,50,000 installed
- Add-ons: battery backup, access control and telescopic operators add Rs 15,000 to Rs 60,000
Reputable operator brands such as Dorma, Geze and Ozone cost more upfront but deliver far better reliability and after-sales support, which matters for high-footfall entrances in Hyderabad's dust and summer heat. The moving leaves still ride on quality rollers and tracks, so the mechanical hardware underneath the sensor matters just as much as the electronics. If you are weighing an automatic entrance against a manual glass front, our glass shopfront installations show both options side by side, and you can get a free quote that compares the two for your specific opening.
Sliding and Patch-Fitting Glass Doors
Between the basic swing door and the automatic system sit two very useful mid-range options: manual top-hung sliders and spider or patch-fitting doors. Both are common in Hyderabad retail and hospitality fit-outs.
Manual sliding glass doors (Rs 800 to Rs 1,400 per sq ft) glide on a top track and are ideal where a swinging leaf would block a walkway. The rate is driven by track quality and roller weight rating: a heavy 12mm leaf needs a properly rated sliding system, not a light residential track.
Spider and patch-fitting doors (Rs 700 to Rs 1,200 per sq ft) use polished stainless steel spider fittings to hold the glass at points, giving a high-end architectural look for lobbies and showrooms. This work overlaps with structural glazing, where the same fittings support large glass facades.
- Choose sliding when floor space is tight or footfall is high
- Choose patch or spider fittings for a premium, minimal architectural statement
- Choose a plain frameless swing door for the best value on a standard opening
Toughened Glass, Safety Standards and Why They Matter
Every full-height glass door in India should use toughened (tempered) safety glass conforming to IS 2553, which is four to five times stronger than ordinary annealed glass and shatters into small, blunt granules rather than dangerous shards. This is not optional for a door that people push through every day.
- 10mm toughened: suitable for shorter or framed doors
- 12mm toughened: the standard for full-height frameless doors
- Laminated-toughened: added security and sound insulation for banks, clinics and street-facing shopfronts
Always ask for the toughening stamp or a test certificate. A quote that looks cheaper because it quietly uses non-toughened glass is both unsafe and a false economy, because replacement after a break costs far more than the initial saving. All glass we supply across Hyderabad and Secunderabad is toughened to standard and installed with correctly rated fittings, which is a baseline you should demand from any vendor across Telangana and AP.
Installation Costs and Site Factors in Hyderabad
Installation is usually included in the per-sq-ft rate for standard openings, but several site factors can add to it. Being aware of these before the site visit helps you budget accurately.
- Floor condition: an uneven floor needs levelling before a floor spring can be pocketed, adding labour
- Height and access: doors above ground floor or in tight lobbies may need extra manpower or glass-lifting equipment
- Structural support: automatic operators and heavy sliders need a sound header or lintel to fix into
- Removal of old doors: dismantling and disposing of an existing frame adds Rs 1,000 to Rs 3,000
- Distance: sites in outer Secunderabad, Sangareddy, Medchal or across into Andhra Pradesh may carry a small transport charge
For office entrances, the door often ties into a larger glass partition or shopfront layout that is quoted together, which usually works out cheaper than commissioning the door in isolation. A short measurement visit lets us confirm all of these factors before we commit a final number, and you can browse our services to see how door, partition and facade work fit together.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Buying a Glass Door
A little awareness at the quotation stage saves both money and regret. These are the mistakes we most often see clients make in the Hyderabad market.
- Comparing only the headline rate: a Rs 550 per sq ft quote with unbranded fittings can cost more than a Rs 750 quote with a branded floor spring once early failures are counted
- Accepting non-toughened glass: this is unsafe and against IS 2553; insist on the toughening stamp
- Ignoring the floor spring brand: this one component decides whether your door swings smoothly for a decade or sags within a year
- Under-sizing hardware for a 12mm leaf: heavy glass needs correctly rated patch fittings and rollers
- Skipping the site visit: ordering to rough dimensions leads to gaps, poor alignment and rework
Avoiding these keeps your true cost of ownership low, which almost always beats the lowest sticker price. When in doubt, ask the vendor to put every assumption in writing.
How to Get an Accurate, Comparable Quote
Per-sq-ft figures are a planning tool; the final number depends on your exact opening size, glass grade, hardware brand and site conditions. A short site visit lets us confirm measurements, floor level for spring fitting, and structural support for automatic operators.
Ask any vendor to itemise glass, hardware and installation separately so you can compare like for like, and be wary of very low quotes that use non-toughened glass or unbranded floor springs, because they fail early and cost more over time.
- Confirm the glass is toughened and note the thickness (10mm versus 12mm)
- Get hardware listed by brand (Taiton, Enox, Ozone, Dorma, Geze)
- Check whether installation, transport and old-door removal are included
- Ask about warranty on both the glass and the floor spring
