finally set up my door hangers, I bought these hinges sometime over the winter with this project in mind but other stuff just kept coming up, but today was the day. Super cheap, I think they're around $11 a pair, much cheaper than the pre-made door hanger gizmos.
Started off by moving my old homemade shelf that I keep all my automotive crap on, in this photo it was originally to the right up against the wall as close to the garage door as possible. I used the cloth half doors as a guide to figure out where to mount the bolts. Once I had them loosely mounted, I put the half doors on for more rigidity & tightened them up, then the full Monty with the big doors to be sure, worked well:
I used two inch bolts:
This was a helluva project, I had around half a ton of wood pellets on a pallet in that corner, had to move all that first then pull everything off these shelves to move it over to its new home, then all the work to install the hinges (seemed like I picked up the doors 100 times before it was all over...).
But, something didn't look right so I had a beer & contemplated
came back in & decided the entire assembly had to move along the other wall (not shown but I already had half the crap back on the shelves which all had to come back off). Also with the tremendous weight of the full steel doors it was contorting the entire shelf which was now leaning to the right so I had to affix that cross-brace 2x4 on the back, thing is straight as an arrow & rigid as hell now:
once again all the Jeep crap is back on the shelves, doors up off the floor for the first time in 5 years. Those hinges will never get a break, once winter hits they'll be holding up the halfies
part of the reason for doing this was a whole garage overhaul, cleaning & so forth. The other half is still a disaster, I'll tackle that tomorrow. Or next year, too soon to tell
