Use a machine and a control to operate it. I believe there is a nice door that fits nicely in the doorways on a covenant sp level. You can find it in the machine tag of course. Just search around the covenant levels for it. As for getting the control to open and close the doors... You would need to link the control to the machine. There is an older tutorial here that will show you how to do just that. Search around the tutorials for this kind of stuff. It's there, and for this purpose exactly.
Good luck. If you need more help, let us know. Some of us are happy to help.

I put doors in that open and close when you go near, and they fit quite nicely.
Until they open and poke out the sides a bit. And they make teleporter sounds, that I've been too lazy to fix.

You can look at what Containment does to correspond the pushing of a button to open the gate.

You could use the bsp viewer.
I'll dig up that link in a second.

You can also edit it's rotations in the Meta editor.

Here is a spawning tutorial:

And you use the Alt or Control key to rotate objects while moving the mouse on the object.
