I don't believe there is one specifically for that situation.

However, not knowing anything else about it, my guess is it could be a form of agoraphobia or a social anxiety disorder. That is, the question is not so much about opening the garage door but more of staying within a safe and familiar space and the anxiety provoking experience of encountering anything and anyone beyond that safe place.
