The entry doors to a warehouse.
I'm pretty sure I know what the term means: they're sort of like flat garage doors (the non-jointed kind) that tilt in at the top as they open. Does anyone know what they would be called in this context?
Thank you in advance.

Comment: "Thanks everyone. In my draft translation, I had put "tilt-up" doors, but since the clients have decided they want British terminology I'm going with "up-and-over.""

: There are only 4 entries on Google for "awning gates". 1 is your answer, 2 are in Italian and the 4th is a possible typo for "yawning".

OK. The awnoing windows are the basculantes, so I thought it would be the closest translation.
