I had one on my garage in a past house -- you want a roll-up door. They
are available from commercial door firms.
I got a take-off from someplace. Is was in perfect condition, and the
cost of the door plus installation was something like $300. That was a
few years ago, though! The door was perfect for my shop. It did not have
the power motor -- I used the standard rolling chain.
Every town of decent size should have several commercial door firms. Get
out of the consumer channel (Home Depot) and into the commercial
mainstream; you'll find plenty of sources.
