A sliding panel structure. The sliding panel structure includes a frame having an upper support track and a lower guide rail. At least one sliding panel is connected between the upper support track and the lower guide rail. The sliding panel includes a sliding panel pivot axis and an extension for riding in the lower guide rail. The extension prevents undesired pivoting of the sliding panel about the sliding panel pivot axis. A mutual attraction device is connected between the sliding panel and the frame with a first mutual attraction part connected to the frame and the second mutual attraction part connected to the sliding panel. A fulcrum is utilized for tilting the sliding panel whenever the first mutual attraction part engages the second mutual attraction part. The tilting of the sliding panel causes the extension to disengage the lower guide rail which allows the sliding panel to pivot about the sliding panel pivot axis. In a preferred embodiment the sliding panel structure includes at least one stationary pivoting panel. In another preferred embodiment the sliding panel is a plurality of sliding panels. In another preferred embodiment the sliding panel is a sliding door. In another preferred embodiment the sliding panel is a sliding window. In another preferred embodiment the mutual attraction device is utilizes magnetic force so that a magnet connected to the sliding panel is attracted to a magnet connected to the frame.
