Is it possible to place a light switch on the wall that a pocket door slides into? This is a residence. Thanks
I've never been able to do it. Besides, wouldn't you want the switch on the other side of the opening?
Depends on the framing, the house I did had the same set up as you describe. The pocket door walls where 2x4 on the their sides. I had 1.5 to work with, used 4"sq boxes with mud rings to get them in there. Had to get creative on the box fill issues but worked ok for a 2 gang.

That would be the Carlon B117RSW.For some uses, there is now a blue box, shallow with a "side pocket".
I'd just surface mount one of these with one of these for the switch and then have one of these stubbed out the top into the ceiling.
Oh yah! Don't forget this, this (or alternatively, this or this (if you're cheap)), and probably at least two of these. And this, of course. That's the whole point.
It'd give the place a cool "steampunk" vibe, wouldn't it?
No ice pack for when the HO smacks you for the slightly hacky, industrial looking install you just did in their living room? :grin: (I hate the limited smiley choice here)
It wouldn't be hacky! At least if you made sure to remember to do this before you land the pipe in the box.
LV wiring and a relay is a very common way it is done.
Must have been a slow Saturday night, ey?I'd just surface mount one of these with one of these for the switch and then have one of these stubbed out the top into the ceiling.
