If it is purely manual operation for up and down, then depending on the weight, you may need a simple counter balance, and to retain it in the up position, could be a simple permanent magnet arrangement or small electromagnet if necessary?
If this a safety door, then you most likely require interlock/confirmation switches on closed or detection on both open and closed position.
There are special safety switches that defeat overiding.
