    Abstract: A sliding door system includes a stationary door frame, a sliding door panel installed in the stationary door frame and movable between a closed and open position, and a handle assembly coupled to the sliding door panel. The handle assembly includes a rack housing installed within a vertical stile of the sliding door panel, a rack positioned within the rack housing and movable between stowed and extended positions, and a handle operatively coupled to a pinion engageable with the rack, the handle being pivotable about a pivot axis between first and second positions. Rotating the handle from the first position to the second position causes the pinion to move the rack to the extended position and into engagement with the stationary door frame, whereby the sliding door frame is forced away from the stationary door frame from the closed position to the open position.

    Abstract: A sliding door system includes a stationary door frame, a sliding door panel installed in the stationary door frame and movable between closed and open positions, and a handle assembly coupled to the sliding door panel. The handle assembly includes a handle spindle extending into a vertical stile of the sliding door panel, a cam coupled to the handle spindle within the vertical stile and movable between stowed and extended positions, and a handle coupled to the handle spindle and rotatable about a pivot axis extending through the handle spindle between first and second positions. Rotating the handle from the first position to the second position causes the cam to move from the stowed position to the extended position and into engagement with the stationary door frame, whereby the sliding door frame is forced away from the stationary door frame from the closed position to the open position.
