Shrug,
You could put a hinged out swing door on the section that raises. This door would have to also be hinged horizontaly across the face of the leaf, so the door could fold in half and lock into postion, to make it shorter, when the upper section is lowered. The lower section of the stationary wall would just need a door opening space in it. The only glitch I see that would need to be worked out is the door hinge jamb and strike jamb in the lower section. I seem to think that using an offset jamb permantly hinged to the lower folding section of the door, would only require attaching a few screws to lock the offset jamb and a separate offset strike into place in the lower section of the wall.
Whatca Think? (I think it would have been easier to draw a picture than use words)
Mike,
Yep, that's the one that my kids like.
