I see everyone building the little carts to store their doors. In my garage I have several heavy duty brackets for hanging large ladders and the like (each rated for 100 pounds). Is there any reason I can't simply roll down the windows and hang the doors on them? Will they sag/warp? If if doesn't some how harm the doors it seems like a simple solution to get the doors out of the way.

I generally keep the doors on the Jeep. So when they are stored they will only be hanging for maybe 5 or 6 days out of a month.

Thoughts?

 

I had thought about the same thing, but was worried that the weight of the doors would warp the window frame. Not sure if it would, but I didn't want to take the chance. I usually leave the doors off for a few weeks at a time.

 

my thoughts as well. i planned on donig the exact same thing.

what is the weight of the full door?

 

I'm using brackets and it works fine. Did the same thing with my first Jeep and never had any problems with the window frame.

 

Alright, thanks guys. I just hung my doors.

 

Now that's a cool photo.

 

yeah, it is.

Took another picture today.............

 

At this point my guess is that no one is going to step up and say that the doors will warp. I have seen this discussed in other threads and if I remember correctly there were suspicions but not solid evidence of it. Please correct me if I am wrong. The only thing other than warping would be the seal at the top of the window may get damaged over time but it seems sturdy enough.

This may or may not work however my thought was to use the same hooks that you have at the top of your doors at the bottom of them so that the doors are resting on the bottom edge of the door and using the large bike wheel hooks to keep the doors against the wall.

Lining them up on the side of the wall is a great idea. I would also have to put up a couple of blankets to hang over them so that the kids would not damage them as well.

Nice job!
