A sliding door assembly. The sliding door assembly includes a door frame having an upper track and a lower track. A swing door is mounted to the door frame and multiple sliding doors are also mounted to the frame. The sliding doors slide when they are in a sliding configuration and also swing open and closed when they are in a swing configuration. Each sliding door includes an electronic door control switch, an upper track shoot bolt linear actuator for extending and retracting a shoot bolt, a upper track hinge pin linear actuator for extending and retracting a hinge pin, a lower track lift wheel linear actuator for extending and retracting a lift wheel assembly, a rigidly attached hinge wheel assembly having rotatably connected hinge wheels, and a power supply for providing power to the electronic door control switch, the shoot bolt linear actuator, the hinge pin linear actuator and the lift wheel linear actuator. When the upper track shoot bolt and the lower track lift wheel assembly are extended and the upper hinge pin is retracted, then the sliding door assembly is in a sliding configuration. When the upper track shoot bolt and lower track lift wheel assembly are retracted and the upper hinge pin is extended, then the sliding door assembly is a swing configuration.
