Default Doors Hanging on Walls

I don't have enough room for a door cart so I'm looking for options (hopfully with pics) for hanging my doors (4 - unlimited) on my garage wall.

First of all, does anyone know how much one of the front doors weighs? I thought about "J" hooks and foam padding but two hooks for each door is going to take up a lot of wall space that I don't have.

Anyone come up with a way to do this? Maybe hanging two doors together?

I think the front doors are 60 lbs and the rears are 50 lbs.
I was thinking of doing the same with the hooks in the walls since I dont have space either.

I'm excited to see what people have come up with, I hate leaning them against a wall.

I wouldn't hang them from the window frame, too much weight on that part of the door which may become deformed.

I'm going to try to bolt some hinge straps to the wall when it warms up.

Thats what I would do. Just make sure if/when you do it, you find the studs

33 Engineering has door hangers for TJs. They're exactly what I want.
