Can you anchor this to a wall where there is a pocket door using the drywall fasteners?

No. That would not be wise. Drywall insufficient to support a person's weight. Must be installed into wood surface behind drywall. By definition, a pocket door location would not have adequate interior support.

You could, but I doubt that it would hold any kind of weight. If your intent in installing this grab bar is to use it for the purpose of helping you get to your feet from a seated position, it should really by anchored to a stud, or 2x4 blocking inside your wall. If this grab bar were installed on the wall where MY pocket door is, I'm fairly certain it would be ripped right out of the wall the very first time I used it to try to help me get to my feet. Your mileage may vary....

I mounted mine to drywall using a 100lb wall anchor. Bit of overkill but never have to worry about something going wrong. A stud would work perfect as well. The rubber feet work great to make a nice secure and sturdy base against the wall.

I don't see why not. Just use wood screws. I put mine on drywall with anchors.

Only one of the two connectors need to be on the door itself. You can use a stick'em or glue if you want. The unit can hang onthe wall or trim.

I suppose you could. If memory serves, i secured mine so that the back frame was anchored to the wall using those fasteners that are designed with the spring loaded

It is held up by 2 mounting clips, it depends on your wall, if you have hollow drywall nails may not do it. Anything solid like wood nails will work.

Yes it absolutely could be attached to the wall. You just have to go to the hardware store and buy some sort of fasteners which I am sure you can find at any Lowe's or Home Depot, Ace Hardware etc.

You install the plastic holder by screwing it into the wall with either wood screws into wall studs, the best and probably strongest method of fastening or by using wall anchors to fasten to drywall, which is not the best way since the stress over time tends to loosen the drywall fasteners. If you have no choice but to use the drywall anchor method try using an adhesive as well to hold the plastic against the drywall. I would recommend the adhesive be a polyurethane type construction adhesive, which typically comes in a tube suitable for a caulking gun.

You can.. but i would used wall anchors to secure the screws once i had driven holes into the brick

Yes but you would have to use the hollow wall fasteners on at least two attach points. They are supplied

Yes. The flat "hooks" that go over the top of the door are totally separate from the wire unit. They snap onto the wire holder, so if you can attach it directly to a wall then just keep them off. I don't know if I can attach a photo with a closeup showing the screw holes that are part of the wire frame, but if I can I will. If I cannot, I measured the width of the screw holes and they are slightly over 4 1/8" wide. There are two sets of screws you will need put into the wall, one pair above the other. If you can get one set of screws into a stud that would be best. I don't put too much trust in the small plastic screw mounts that usually come along with items like this.

If you use the plastic anchors insert that Comes with it, then you can mount on dry wall as well

I wouldn't do it unless you get the heavy duty thru-wall type drywall anchors, not those plastic screw type ones. I mounted mine on a decorative piece of wood that I screwed into the wall studs.

Yes, but the split studs are wrapped in metal to help with rigidity. You would have to cut through the metal and ensure that they're all the same size. there are four her pocket door two on each side creating a hollow wall.

Yes, bolt it to the studs and it should be great...........anchors in the wallboard itself will NOT work!

There are two screws that will attach it to the wall at the very top inside of the cupboard. I believe if you did not want it attached, it would still work, with a little less stability, perhaps.

Yes this will work but make sure to use drywall anchors if there is no stud.
