Typically, in household walls, there will be a cross 2x4 approximately 48 inches from the floor (halfway up the wall between the studs); considered a fire-break. As long as you're on one side or the other, this solution will work -- it's not easy trying to drill through that cross piece without affecting the wall surface...
The cross piece is also typically used for nailing/screwing the drywall edge to as drywall is typically installed perpendicular to the stud direction.
