Hi--having problems with the space in my bath remodel. I installed a pocket door but am not happy with the sense of "flimsiness" it brings. The toilet is oriented parallel with the door with the front edge of the toilet even with the door opening which means when someone is sitting, their knees actually "break the plane" of the door space, so privacy is an issue. I'm considering removing the tiny closet just to the left of the pocket door, moving the door about 15 inches away from the front edge of the toilet and replacing the pocket door with a conventional swing door (closes more securely.) I know doors conventionally open into a room, but is there any reason I can't install it to swing out into the hallway like a closet door does?
I've attached a little drawing--the door should read 28 inches. The room is basically just shy of an 8X8' box, and the closet is not quite as wide as it looks--is 24" wide by 16" deep.
Thanks.
