Need help with door measurements...

[Cspence]

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I don't have my truck yet but purchased a set of OFC door hangers during black Friday ( O.R.C Package of Two (2), 2-Door Hangers for ‘07-‘23 Jeep Wrangler – OFF-ROAD CONCEPTS,LLC (offroadconceptsfl.com) ) to install in the garage to get it sorted and out of the way while I have time waiting. In any event, where I'm thinking to install these in my garage, I have a few things that I think may cause some clearance issues depending on the location of the door hinges and the size of the door. To avoid having to either wait for my truck to arrive, look like a weirdo with a tape measure out on the dealership lot or cross my fingers and hope my eyecrometer is accurate lol, I was hoping someone would be willing to grab a few rough dimensions for me (+/- an inch or two).

Thanks in advance!

So here’s what I got off of my HA. Hope this helps.
Correction 28-3/4 not 29-3/4

Just out of curiosity, where did you measure from to get the 28-3/4"? Your door width dimensions were (as expected) pretty much exactly the same as Freems' measurements. But where you measured 28-3/4", he measured 26-1/2", where that should have also been the same. I'm thinking its from where you measured from on the hinge. Below is a better image to show where I was looking to have the measurement from. (which will help me position the hanger in the right location on my wall to clear the shelf I have mounted above)

So not to add to this confusion lol.. but I went back and got a bit more precise and got 27-3/4. I’ve included the pics with measurements. Good luck!

Got home and armed with the measurements from you guys, it looks like I should be good all around, though I'm going to have to hang the doors in a particular order as I'm only going to have about 66" between the mounts. Left to right; Drivers side front, pass rear, drivers rear, pass front.

I had some pin mount door storage solutions and didn't care for how tedious it was getting them lined up and in the holes (like putting them back on the Jeep), so I ordered some heavy brackets from Amazon, got a stout piece of lumber, and made my own.
I did have to free up some additional wall space, and that turned into a full garage remodel that has been well worth the effort. I put two doors on each hanger, windows down and hung by the window opening. They hold my tube doors when the regular doors are on.

Same here, turned into a good garage overhaul for me too lol.

I wasn’t going to go with the pin mount either, was going to use some that hold by the window frame, but was concerned about possibly deforming or damaging the gasket/seals and possible interference with the window visors I plan to run, though I suppose I could of just popped them out like you have to store.

Finally finished up my mounting solution. Going to have to hang in a particular order for clearance (DF, PR, DR, PF), but should work out great and I’m glad to have this out of the way! Thanks again for the help with the measurements guys!

The best hangers out there IMHO

Yeah this is why I just went right for the 4-door hangar. It can get a bit tedious trying to mount two hangars side by side, making sure you've got the room you need to grab the doors, not knock into another hanging one as you take off another, etc. No matter how well you measure, you're going to put the doors on the first time and wish you did it differently. And it takes double the wall space. Just my personal experiences.

I do wonder if you might be better off waiting until you have the doors handy to mount the holders. That way you can be certain the spacing will work for you in the real world.

I liked that 4 door hanger too, almost went for it. That said, figured having them separate would help maintain a lower profile in the garage and preserve some precious room to walk around the vehicle and would help prevent me from banging my side into it constantly.
