Sci-fi door question

[nil13]

We are all familiar with the whooshing Star Trek and Star Wars pocket doors. They are easy to search for. What I am trying to find are references for what I can only think to call the giant rolling gear pocket door. But I'm drawing a blank on what I'm seen them in order even what to search for.

Any ideas?

Do you mean the rolling doors seen on the airlocks on Deep Space Nine?

Those weren't the ones I was thinking of but yes that's exactly the mechanism I am talking about. Thanks.

I feel like they mainly show up as airlocks, bulkheads, and vaults.

If anyone has any other examples, I would love to see them. And if anyone figures out search terms bc rolling, gear, airlock, etc doesn't really lead to this.

From the British TV series Torchwood:

Ah Torchwood. It has been a long time since I watched one of those. I would never have guessed it but I think that is the one that was in my head. Thanks.

I also feel like there is a Star Wars one that sort of looks like stone out there too.

You guys definitely came through. I have both of those series on my home server for screen grabs.

What about the doors between the vaults in the Fallout series?

 

[nil13]

Yeah the Fallout doors are good ones. At first I was thinking that they weren't really a good reference bc they aren't pocket doors, but after watching the scene where one opens, it provides a good view of the mechanism with the top and bottom gear racks moving the door. So it's almost like a pocket door with the wall removed to reveal the mechanism that you never see in the other ones. (Of course that's bc the mechanism in the other ones is just some guy from the props dept.)
