Hello,
Your manual door can roll?
For that the door roll, the material of the door must be soft and not rigid.
It exist a lot of solutions!

An easy idea if she can't roll could be a Linear guidance with vertical move up and down of the door.The wallvmust just have two times the higher of the door.


other idea Two cylinder for swing the door.

What motor do you want choose?

For installed opener door on rafter it depend of the weight and dimensions of the rafter.
