I need a place to put my doors when they are off the rig. So I built a door hanger in my garage. After I was done I took some pics and wrote up what I had done. I hope it could be helpful.

I used 4 heavy duty padded hooks from Home Depot. They are called "Heavy Duty Arm Hangers". In my Home Depot they were near the tool boxes and shop vacs.

I did not use the hardware that came with the hooks, instead I used some 1/4 x 2" Lag bolts. I bolted the 2x12 to the studs (in three places) with 3/8 x 3" Lag bolts with fender washers.

here are some pics:

Nice write up. I hope you anchored those mounts onto a solid stud.

 

That looks really good. Guess I need to make a trip to Home Depot Thanks for the write-up!

 

i just came in from the garage thinking about this exact same thing. i'm glad to see that it works and i now know what i'll be doin tomorrow afternoon.

 

That is great. First I need to clean out my shop, 2nd build one of those. I had the doors leaning against the shop outside wall, birds pooped on two of the doors....the inside of course that were facing the wall

 

That is a nice hanger. Thanks for the detailed write up and dimensions. Know what my next project'll be

 

Beautiful. Perfect idea. Thanks for sharing and great pics and write-up.

 

i think im going to have to do this once i get rid of my YJ body and frame taking up space on the other side of my garage. Great write up.

 

I have had the same hangers sitting my my garage since last summer. I need to do this soon..... did you put anything between the doors when they hang?

 

nope did not need to. The hooks are long enough to allow a little space between them
