Here is the code. What is different? Please comment below.

110.26 Spaces About Electrical Equipment
Working space, and access to and egress from working space, shall be provided and maintained about all electrical equipment to permit ready and safe operation and maintenance of such equipment. Open equipment doors shall not impede access to and egress from the working space. Access or egress is impeded if one or more simultaneously opened equipment doors restrict working space access to be less than 610 mm (24 in.) wide and 2.0 m (61⁄2 ft) high.

I am struggling to think of an example where this would be a big problem. Usually not in residential.

Anywhere there are large electrical cabinets with doors that swing open into the workspace. It covers residential but you would be hard pressed to find a situation in a home where this would be a problem.
