For reasons beyond my comprehension, nearly every circular
door in existence uses hinges. This idea is to put the door
on/in a track, and roll it out of the way of the doorway.
Making such a door easy to open and close is a bit tricky, but
this *is* the halfbakery.
I say "nearly every,"
because google found precisely one
rolling door, [link], but it's not precisely a widely known to
exist architectural feature.
Bank with rolling door.

bigsleep, you mean that if I posted an idea about an dilating
door, it wouldn't get marked as WTCTTISITMWIBNIIWR, or
something similar? |

For a halfbaked version, the door you seek is used in
airlocks on Deep Space 9. |

too much like a revolving door? |

Not anything at all like a revolving door, [travbm]. Try
reading for comprehension this time. |

You may look into ultrasonic levetation and magnetic levitation. The circular door has a hole that seals up one way and closes another as it rotates. |

[pash], for some reason your Wikipedia linked page
comes out upside-down and back-to-front on my
