Default How to make a hanger for doors if you have rain guards

I have a 4 door and need my doors to be stacked together on the wall.
I really like the idea on just making new hinges for the doors to hang on but i do not have the space... I like the idea on hanging them on 2 industrial size hooks but cant figure out a way when i have rain gaurds on my doors.
So any ideas are open
thanks

not trying to be silly at all...but have you considered hanging them upside down? don't know how the weight would transfer, I would think it would work if you used something similar to what you hang bikes from, a large squared "J" hook....just shooting some ideas out

put the hooks lower to the ground and set the doors on TOP of the hooks.

And I don't know if you want to add a third hook to go through the window area (close to where your shoulder would be sitting down) to keep the door from tipping off the bottom brackets.

Are you storing the doors along the garage wall, or stacking them (leaning) on each other?

There are some write up of members using pvc to set up a storage cart on wheels

Get a length of 1/4" nylon rope about 16" long for each door. Tie a knot in each end and melt the tips so the knot cannot come out. Roll the ends up in the window with the knots through the other side and hang the door up by the rope.
