Okay, here's yet another idea; cheap and easy if you must reverse the direction of the motor for up and down. A single DPDT toggle switch performs the reversing and limit function. The SCR is triggered by the timer switch closing, thus latching and supplying power to the motor. When the door reaches either limit, current to the motor is interrupted briefly as the toggle switch changes position, so the SCR turns off. The toggle switch is set to reverse the motor direction when the SCR is triggered again.
