Installing a pocket door
I am interested of installing a pocket door for our tiny bathroom. The current door swing inward and it’s just taking so much space to open and close the door. The problem is we have a linen closet next to the door, and we don’t want to lose this closet. So beside installing a pocket door, the work also involve move the opening of the close to inside the bathroom. I heard pocket door has a bad rep, as long as installed properly with quality hardware, it should last. Anyone has recommendation of contractor or carpenter with pocket door experience? Thank you.

I had the same issue and learned that installing a pocket door means taking out the entire wall. In your case losing the closet. My architect was here on another matter, and suggested reversing the door swing. My boyfriend did it, it swings out now, and resolved the problem.
