Got a picture?? On most wooden pocket doors, you can put the contact
(3/8") in the frame just under the latch (closer to the floor if you're
coming up from there), then put a concealed magnet in the door (abutting
the contact).

Piece of cake, friend. About 2" above the floor, drill a 3/8" hole into the
door frame, parallel to the floor. Slip just the tip of a 16" long by 1/4"
diameter bit into the hole. Drill down to the basement at a 60º angle off the
floor and slightly sideways so the drill takes a compound angle. That way if
you happen to be above a joist the bit will come out the side instead of
having to bore all the way through. Use any press-fit, 3/8" contact. The
feeler bit will cut a small notch at the top of the 3/8" hole. After
inserting the contact, touch up with colored wood putty.
Basically, you're doing the same thing you might do for a wood-framed slider.
Enjoy.
