garage door diy plans

Rethymno, Crete, Greece(Zone 10b)

Any help would be much appreciated:

I am trying to make doors for 2 garages, and thinking to use plywood enforced at the edges to make four vertical sheets that will open in the middle (2 to the left, two to the right, in zig-zag mode), like

__ __ __ __ (closed) and

|/ /| (open)

Sorry I don't know the english technical terms.

I think movement should be from a horizontal rotating rail above, with a top-hanging wheel on each side. No idea on the locking mechanism between the two panels when the door is closed, or the initial fold when starting to open.

Any net places I could look for ?? Anyone has ideas on such a construction already ??

thanks

Dimitri
