Maybe they're just confused by your terminology. I've always heard
those called "roll-up" doors. The ones I've used have had a long loop
of chain like a hoist's that you pull one way to open, the other way to
close. I agree that they're pretty useful.... my track-style doors
block half the ceiling, so I can't light that part of the garage if I
want to be able to use the lights with the doors up.
