Pantry Storage for 8' Door

All doors in my home are 8', including the pantry door. I want to put an over the door storage rack but cannot find one that extends from the top of the door to the bottom. I've checked Ikea, Bed, Bath & Beyond and several other stores but they are for 7' doors. Help!

They have them at the Container Store. If you don't have one near you try going on line.

I had a house full of 8' doors, salvaged from either a courthouse or church...they were also a whole 2" thick, of solid hardwood...nothing would fit, including modern locksets! I loved them...

Thanks @Cindy, I checked online and found the Container Store in Scottsdale, AZ. I will take a ride over and see if they can customize one for the 8' door. @Pete Wells, I hear you Pete. Mine were new when installed. I love the height but a pain if you want to put anything over the door!

I tried this @ thing, looks strange in the comment. Not sure if I did it correctly...

This type of item would make a great project for a high school metal shop class. Shape the over the door bars with extension to accommodate an 8 foot door, weld on the baskets, shelves and hooks, etc.
