Double Pocket Door Installation (Electrical Question)

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago

Hey!

We are hoping to install a double pocket door (into an existing wall) connecting our bedroom and bathroom and need advice about what may or may not be possible. We are planning to just remove drywall on our bedroom side and not mess with it on the bathroom side. There are electrical outlets on either side of the door frame on the bathroom side (I've attached pictures). Is our wall wide enough to fit both a pocket door kit and the electrical boxes?

Our wall is what looks to us like 5" wide and the current boxes our outlets sit in are like 3.5". Could we get shallow electrical boxes? Do we run into coding issues, if so? My husband estimates we have 2 5/16" to work with for an electrical box.

Any information and help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance!
