Built and installed.
Pretty slick.
I would recommend adding another 1/4 length to the lag bolts that attach to the wall studs through the plank. You'll get more thread engagement into the wall that way.
Thanks for the plans.

How much do ya'll think the front doors weigh? I have a Rubermaid system that you clip on different hooks etc. Picked up some 50lb rated holders, wondering if these will work.
Just checked it out 61lbs.

Great idea!
I got the materials at Home Depot last night, and noticed that each hook is "rated" for 25 pounds. I'm sure the manufacturer shorted that number to cover their butts, but I got an extra one just to be sure. Since the front doors are heavier, I have three hooks for the front doors to hang on, instead of two. (Back doors can hang on two.)
Maybe I'm paranoid, but for a few dollars more, the extra peace of mind makes it worthwhile.

Looks good.
But I am curious, why hang the doors at all? Does setting them on a moving pad or cardboard on the floor cause damage to the door? Just want to know if there is some reason other than it saves floor space.
