Doors Off Storage Rack

[Ran4]

I recently bought this storage rack for when I take the doors off my JLUS. It's made by EMP (Extreme Metal Products) in Ohio. Obviously, I purchased the 4-door unit, but it is also available for the 2-door. My garage walls happen to be made of poured concrete, so I used 4 5/16" x 2.25" Tapcons. Very easy installation, and great way to suspend the doors from the hinge pins.

That’s fucking brilliant. And at a sweet price point! Added to the list

With all doors mounted on the rack, how far off the wall does it sit

The support by itself sits 14" off the wall. With all four doors mounted, its right around 19".

The only thing I would add is probably some pading near the hinges or maybe between the doors. But that price I suspect won't stay like that.

Can the doors swing out when mounted? Wondering what the door behind them goes to in your picture and if it needs regular access

The price is reasonable compared to some other Jeep products that are marked up 5000%. Has anyone seen a way to DIY this?

I read somewhere that someone used gate hinges. something like this

Nevermind... it's an extra $30 for the four-door version. I was actually thinking about getting this. I'd rather spend my money on parts/mods since I don't take the doors off too often.

This is the best application I could find using those hinge straps - courtesy of "donnyb313". Here's one of his pics. See the linked post for others. I think I'm going to make something very similar to this.

Yes, some padding near/around the hinge pins mount might be nice, but honestly, I found it easier to set the doors in place on this hanger than I do on the Jeep. ...and I don't find it particularly difficult on the Jeep either.

Yes, the doors can swing out, but mine rest very gently against each other. You can see in the photo how I placed a small towel behind the mirror on the left side front door. I didn't need one on the other side. Regarding the door, that's a useless exterior entry door that I wish wasn't there. We never use it..

Thanks @Ran4. On my shopping list.

This is brilliant...I have the ACE door hangers, while nice, it requires 8 feet of a wall floor to ceiling to hang four doors. I could really use some of that space for other purposes!

Cheers

The bracket @Ran4 used or the gate hangers are good solutions for hanging doors flat against the wall. However, I only had 4’ of wall space available and no time to fabricate something on my own. Though it is more costly, I went with the Topsy bracket for hanging the doors:
