Over the door hardware for a spice cabinet?

I just built a spice cabinet that I originally intended to screw to the pantry door. After replacing the knobs on some of the other doors though, I realized that these doors were a bit on the flimsy side, and thought that over-the-door would be best. The problem is, I can't seem to find any hardware that I can use to hang the cabinet. I'm short, so the hardware needs to have a bit of length to it, and I'd like it to mount as flat as possible.

Does anyone know where I can find this type of hardware? I've tried Amazon and Rockler, but the closest I found was this, which doesn't have enough length to put the cabinet where I need it so that I can reach it (which was the whole point of the spice rack/cabinet anyway).

Thank you so much!

 

If you can locate the studs, you can screw through the back of the cabinet, into them. If not, I would use plastic anchors. I doubt that you would need toggle bolts but that's another choice.

 

I just don't feel like this cheap hollow core veneer is up to the job of holding up a loaded 4 ft tall solid wood spice rack AND my baby who might decide to try to use it to pull himself up. And to be honest, I'd just as soon not have big holes in my door when we finally get ready to move. Thanks though!

 

Let's start over. Where is the rack going to be mounted? I thought that you said over the door. To me, that means above the door. Is that correct? Can you post a pic, of the rack & maybe the place where it is to be mounted?

 

If you're feeling a bit brave, you could drill/chisel out the edge material of the door at a particular height on either side at the height you're looking to mount the rack and put a solid board through the door across its width, then screw the rack to the board.

There might also be a somewhat solid piece across the width of the door where the lockset is mounted, which would work for an intermediate-height mount point, which could provide good strength in conjunction with a set (or two sets) of these attaching in the hollow areas above/below that to distribute the weight sufficiently.

We have no pictures of the door or cabinet, so your going to get a whole lot of well meaning guesses.
Just can not imagine any reason to try and mount this over the top of the door.
Doors not going to fully close, top hooks are going to show.
There's dozens of company's that make spice racks, not one is hung from the door.

 

The OP showed us a bracket which fastens to the back of the spice rack so it can be hung on the door. The OP wants to find a longer bracket so that the spice rack will hang lower on the door.

 

The door is a standard interior hollow core door, like you put on a bathroom or a bedroom, I want the spice rack to hang over the door like an ironing board or a toy basketball hoop or whatever. I had found this bracket, but it isn't long enough to get the rack down where I want it.

My spice rack:

 

I do not think you will be happy by hanging the spice rack on the door. I think it will rattle against the door when the door is opened and closed.

I would use a stud finder to locate the edges of the door stiles on each side of the door. I would then fasten cleats to the door near where you want the top and bottom of the spice rack to be located. Then fasten the spice rack to the cleats.

Unless this is walk-in pantry, you may have to adjust the depth of the pantry shelves to accommodate the space taken by the spice rack.

 

That's a pretty sizeable rack. How high off the ground do you want the top shelf of it to be?

You might be able to use a piece of hardboard/pegboard or 1/4 inch ply as an extender for those brackets. Just bolt 3-4 brackets to the upper edge of the board with enough length hanging for an overlap with the rack of 8-12 inches, then the rack can be attached to the hanging board any number of ways (if the rack is not yet finished, gluing with wood glue to 1/4 inch ply would be more than strong enough for your purposes).

Then if you can locate an interior cross-piece in the door (if there is one, it'll be even with the height of the doorknob), a couple of drywall screws into that will stop the rack from flapping/rattling when the door is opened and closed.

 

Here you go, just get the color you want. $15, invest in a over the door mirror from wally world. Take the detachable metal off the mirror, attach it firmly to your spice rack and then get some simple "L" brackets to secure the sides and or bottom to prevent bounce and sideways movement. Then screw the mirror to the back of a closet door for an added bonus.

That spice rack don't not belong, on a door. You can mount it on a wall with anchors or toggle bolts.

 

I ended up screwing it to the top of the door (into the frame the veneer attaches to) and using some of those command adhesive strips (the kind for hanging pictures) on the bottom to keep it from banging and clanging. It's all loaded up now and ready to go, and while the top shelf is a bit too high, I can reach it with my tippy toes. Maybe I should have tried Czizzi's suggestion, but I didn't get it until it was too late.

Thanks everyone for the help!

Pulpo, I'm confused why it doesn't belong on a door? I built it specifically to mount on the inside of my pantry door...? It's not exactly a display worthy piece, .

 

Door hinges are not made to take that much weight. Eventually, the door will sag.
