Of course, there are always options. Rolling steel is preferable for higher security. They also last much longer in a commercial application.
Standard sectional garage doors are an option, but there is more information required. Some things that need to be taken into consideration are:
A. If going to sectional door you will need to back hang the rear of the horizontal tracks. Is this feasible? They do have high lifted doors that follow the wall higher for more clearance, and full vertical lift doors which follow the wall entirely vertically.
B. The mounting wall height, and is it clear of obstructions.
C. Ceiling joist height. The longer the back hang drop, the more wiggly the horizontal tracks become.
D. Clearance. Is there machinery or overhead cranes and rails that need to be cleared.
E. Forklifts and forklift drivers typically can ruin your day very easily with sectional door tracks.
F. A commercial sectional door will cost darn near the same as the repair cost of the better rolling steel door.
But hey, this is all the OP’s decision. I just offered my opinion of his question.
