Wanted to hang my Jeep doors during the summer months so they’re up out of the way and I don’t have to move them to get to things. I also didn’t want to give up any storage space.
This is what I came up with. It’s built from materials I had at the house. I already had the wood, the steel, and the storage hooks. The only part I had to buy was the 3/8” ID steel tube to make the female side of the hinges. That part was $9.
this is my drawing of how I planned to get the door hinge out far enough for the door to hang straight. The door is shy of 5” thick including the grab handle on the inside. This setup gets the centerline of the hinge 5” away from the wall. The base for the hinge is 2”x1/8” flat stock.

header board hung on the wall. Used spax and ran a couple into each stud. Drilled 18 holes in the hinge assembly and bolted that to the header board.
Closer shot of how the doors slide into the receivers.
space utilized more efficiently by hanging cords over the doors on the big hooks
And when the doors aren’t being stored, the space isn’t wasted. You don’t even know the door rack is there.
