I have built a simple very low relief HO modern warehouse to go along the front edge of a layout and it can be seen from both sides. Has anyone got any ideas about buying some doors that are 2 sided? It would be nice to buy something with all the sliding rails and other mechanism but that might be asking too much and I could probably bodge something if I can just find appropriate material for the doors. Because the back/inside of the door will be very visible, up close, I am thinking it needs the relief provided by plastic rather than simply sticking a print out to some card. I intend to model some doors open (to frame the view) and some closed.
Thanks!

Phil, you might find what you want here. I bought an assortment of parts and the doors were detailed on both sides.

Thanks Charlie. Very useful resource but a bit old fashioned for what I need at the minute, so still looking.

If you use a photograph of a roller door, It could slide up and down a guide and roll into a shroud like the real thing and use a small motor to roll it.

Phil,
Check with RiX Products. I believe that roll down door sections have the same stamping on both sides. The product numbers are as follows:
5411113 10x10' door
5411107 12x12' door
There are two separate listings to RIX products catalog: RIX Products and Pikestuff. You will find these items on the Pikestuff Total Product Listings
