A door assembly is provided for which can alternate between a pivoting and a sliding configuration. The door assembly can include a door panel, a track, a first carriage assembly, a second carriage assembly, and a locking mechanism. The first and second carriage assembly can connect the door panel to the track. The first and second carriage assemblies can be slidably movable on the track, and the first carriage assembly can further include a pivot mechanism that pivotably couples the door to the track. The locking mechanism can configure the door between the sliding and pivoting configurations. For example, the locking mechanism can mechanically couple the door panel to the second carriage assembly in the sliding configuration and mechanically decouple the door from the second carriage assembly in the pivoting configuration.

A sliding door module insert assembly for selective egress of a pet and a user includes a panel and a pet door. The panel is sized so that the panel is configured to position in an orifice of a sliding door module. A slat, which is shaped substantially complementarily to a side of a frame of the sliding door module, is hingedly coupled to a first side edge of the panel. The slat is configured to insert into the frame so that the slat is frictionally coupled to the frame, positioning the panel to selectively swing relative to the frame to open and close the orifice to allow a user to enter and exit the dwelling. The pet door is coupled to the panel so that the pet door is positioned to selectively close an aperture that is positioned in the panel.

A telescoping door system includes a header that spans across a doorway. A trailing jamb and a lead jamb disposed a clear opening distance from the trailing jamb defines a clear opening of the doorway. A sidelite panel is coupled to the trailing jamb by at least one swing clear hinge; the swing clear hinge comprises a fixed gear portion intermeshed with a revolving gear portion. A slow slide panel and a fast slide panel move linearly within the header. The slow and fast slide panels are configured to create a first-sized opening when positioned in the header. The sidelite panel, the slow slide panel, and the fast slide panel are configured to pivot out of the header in a breakout position such that a trailing rail of the sidelite panel is disposed at least partially outside the clear opening and in front of the trailing jamb.

A fenestration unit is disclosed. In various examples, the fenestration unit includes a plurality of panels, including first and second panels. In some examples, one or more of the plurality of panels is configured to slide relative to a frame of the fenestration unit to provide an opening in the fenestration unit. In various examples, each of the first and second panels are also configured to be pivoted relative to the frame such that the first and second panels can be hinged or otherwise pivoted open to increase the size of the opening in the fenestration unit.

Example aspects of a sliding door assembly, a sliding door system, and a method for using a sliding door system are disclosed. The sliding door assembly can comprise a track assembly defining a track surface and a slot; and a sliding door comprising a door body and a locking pin, the door body defining a left side and a right side opposite the left side, the locking pin proximate the right side, the locking pin removably engaging the slot, and the door body configured to pivot relative to the track assembly proximate the left side.

Example aspects of a sliding door assembly and a method for using a sliding door system are disclosed. The sliding door assembly can comprise a track assembly comprising a track assembly comprising a first track and a second track; a pivot assembly comprising a pivot carriage and a pivot mechanism engaging the pivot carriage, the pivot carriage configured to move along the first track; a locking carriage configured to move along the second track; and a sliding door comprising a door body and a locking pin, the locking pin removably engaging the locking carriage, and the door body configured to pivot at the pivot assembly relative to the track assembly.

An example door system includes a panel to translate along a normal path between an open position and a closed position in front of a doorway in a wall. The door system further includes a first track to support the panel from an upper portion of the panel, and a second track to extend along the normal path proximate a lower portion of the panel. The door system also includes a spring to urge the panel toward the second track by a first force to maintain the panel in the normal path.

A pivot block including a first part for holding a bolt of an associated folding panel, and a second part that is able to be fixed to a track so as to position the first part and the bolt at a location whereby the folding panel is able to pivot about pivot bolt, wherein the first part is moveable relative to the second part lengthwise of the track, for adjustment of the position of the pivot bolt.
