I would like to install a pocket door leading to my dining room but
cannot remove a portion of the existing wall because it is load
bearing (my condo will not allow any alterations to load bearing
walls). There is already an opening between the load bearing wall and
the opposite wall. Can I simply install a pocket door frame over the
exisitng wall? Based on the prefab frames I've seen, it would only
add about 5 inches to the wall thickness. Thanks for any advice!
