Door Mounted Hangers for Jeans

After seeing j626no's Instructable, I realized that a modification of this concept would work perfectly for my bedroom. I typically just leave my jeans draped over my dresser, and it looks pretty sloppy. A quick trip to the store and twenty minutes of labor produced results I'm quite happy with. I put together three of these, and it was about $15 for the parts. It's a very simple and straight-forward project, but I was happy with it and wanted to share :)

Step 1 Materials and Tools

Very simple list of materials. For each of these hangers, you're going to need:

*One L-Bracket
(I used 2.5" Zinc L-Brackets, came in a package of 4. Make sure it has holes near the ends; I think that most do)
*One S-Hook
(Came in a package of 3, found one that would fit in the hole of the L-Bracket)
*One Length of Chain
(Since I was making three of these, I got chains in lengths of 1', 1.5', and 2')
*One Carabiner (or an additional S-Hook)
(They were only a buck each, and made it a lot more fun, but an S-Hook would work as well)

As far as tools, you'll need the following:

*Hammer
*Clamp
*Pen/Pencil
*Small Piece of Scrap Wood

It's important that at least one edge of the scrap wood is the same size or smaller than the thickness of your door, as you're going to use it to form the L-Bracket into its new and exciting shape.

Yeah, the chains don't make as much noise as I thought they would. The extra bend in the bracket keeps them a bit away from the door, and when the jeans are on them they dampen them pretty well. Your bolting the carabiner directly to the door would certainly get rid of the noise of the chain for the pair of jeans I'm wearing, but I'm just not prepared to drill into my door :) Been using these for a few days now and I'm still lovin it :D Thanks again for the inspiration.

I found another advantage to the chain method.  I've expanded my wardrobe, so all I had to do was pick up another three carabiners and placed them half way along the chain, and voila, double capacity.  I still get great satisfaction each day from clipping/unclipping with this thing :)

I like it! I loved j626no's idea, but I think this one would be better. I like the chain look!

wow....nice modification on my design. i like it. i just thought of a twist on this design to prevent the (im sure it happens) annoying chain-scraping sound when the door is opened or closed. what about buying metal loops for conduit, putting the carabiner straight through that, and then bolting directly to your door. its kind of hard to explain, but basically just a metal loop that the carabiner would run through and then bolt that directly to the door so that there is no chain. just a thought. good job.
