Is it possible to make a vacuum-proof rolling door?

For instance the size of an industrial garage door on a space station? Assume 1atm inside and 0 outside, anything is on the table from gaskets to some kind of embedded heating system around the seams capable of welding and unwelding the door as long as technically possible to build. Must use actual materials and engineering practices.

Sliding doors might also be acceptable if it's an issue of material constraints on something which would be capable of rolling up.
