A door system includes a track spanning a doorway defined by a trailing jamb and an opposing lead jamb, a sidelite panel coupled to the trailing jamb by a swing clear hinge, and first and second slide panels moveable within the track. The trailing jamb includes a jamb face facing in a first direction. The swing clear hinge includes a fixed portion engaged with a revolving portion. The fixed portion is offset from the jamb face in a second direction and secured by a jamb attachment member to the jamb face. The first and second slide panels have an open configuration in the track with the revolving portion offset from the jamb face in the second direction. The panels are configured to pivot out of the track into a breakout configuration. The sidelite panel is offset from the jamb face in the second direction in the breakout configuration.

Telescoping door with swing clear breakout hinge

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.
