Your first concern is to not hit any electrical within the wall. Electricians can/will run wire in odd ways getting from point A to point B. There can be wire ANYWHERE. You just don't know till you open it up.
Google 'patching drywall' or something to learn hole cover up. Easy enough to do. Requires a full wall and possibly a whole room repaint tho.

How big is the room? How hot is it? If you cut a hole in the wall what is on the other side?

I have a stud finder that can find AC/power lines and plumbing and steel studs. That can help.

But might be easier/cheaper to get a replacement door. Cut a hole in top and bottom and roll. (put the holes in the new door, *after* hanging it) Pop original door in on moving day.

A quick way to hang the door is to unscrew the hinge from the door jam (leaving the hinge on the door) Then line up the 2 doors, lay out hinge and mark.

(I think that would work quick and easy)
