5 Best Of How To Hang Something On A Wall That Has A Pocket Door HD Image Size. Slide the pocket side hanger to where it is about six to eight inches from the edge of the jamb. However that being said there is at least a 12 inch of drywall or concrete board and the pocket door frame should be a minimum of 58 inch thick which means that an anchor that protrudes less than 58 cannot scratch the door and that a screw that is no longer than 1 18 inches not counting the thickness of the towel bar mounting plate cannot protrude past the door frame and hence scratch the door.
Use anchors and 1 screws and go into the wood ill assume you have wood slats behind the wall for the door frame like in this picture if that fails just get a wood backed decorative towel hookand no more nail it. Remember to wear safety goggles when working with power equipment. Then put the hardware and door into the slider track.
I used half-inch plywood but different pocket door hardware may allow or require different thicknesses.
