There may have been an aspect of the design which alluded you. Some (but not all, but generally the weaker soft metal kind) over door devices have small holes in the metal over door piece. The idea is you nail it to the top of the door, and this holds it in place and prevents it from sliding and bending out of shape. While entirely possible that your particular over-door hanging device didn't have these small holes, it's worth considering that the design might have only been 50% stupid instead of 100% Living in a space roughly 3 foot square, I make good use of over the door storage contraptions.
