Hello all. I have a laundry room that I’d like to install a pocket door in. I was wondering if anyone else has installed a pocket door under these circumstances. If you look at the picture this is the laundry room looking from where you enter through the garage towards the door into the rest of the house. To the right is a closet. What I’d like to do is remove the closet (no load bearing walls) and install the door. I can’t use the existing opening as there is a light switch and heating return in the wall in the space where the door would slide. So what I’m thinking is use the existing wall as one side build another partition wall and sandwich the door between the two walls. I know it will be a bit wider than normal but I don’t want to keep the existing swing door or put in a wall mount sliding door. I realize it’s my room and can do whatever I’d like but I was wondering if anyone else has done this and if there was anything I should be aware of or something unusual I may run into. Thanks for reading and look forward to any suggestions or tips. George |
