sliding door to swing on the vertical axis

[sunyaer]

Is there a real example picture of a sliding door that can swing on a vertical axis as described below?

Look at any grocery store. The doors have a device that keeps the doors in the sliding tracks unless and until some forcevis applied. Like a little boy running through the exit faster than the door can open. Then the “latch” side of the door pops out of the track and pivots on the “hinge” side.

I think it takes more force than that. One Sumo wrestler or a herd of little old ladies.

Check the Stanley web site. All such doors I see are made by Stanley.

I'm not aware of any sliding doors that do not do this. When you are entering a store and the sliding door is stuck open, most of the time it is just because someone bumped into it, and it tried to swing open.

Not the best video, appears to be going opposite direction than the MoE... but it gives an idea of how this works.

Here is an illustration for proper signage. (Link)
