Pocket Doors

Pocket doors are those space saving gems that builders often overlook when designing new homes. Pocket doors do not swing out on hinges like traditional doors rather they retract into a "hidden" space within the wall when open and slide out when closed. Installing a pocket door after construction can also be done. Here's how...

My husband and I want to remodel our bathroom and install a pocket door because our bathroom is so small. Our house was built in 1921 and we're concerned about the need to knock out part of the wall in order to install the tracking. The bathroom is in the middle of the house and my husband is concerned with knocking out some main beams.
Can installation be done with out disturbing the wall itself? Or possibly just less invasive since it is such an old home.
Thank you.
