Customer Comments: Hello. I am interested in ordering a cut-back fit Stiletto door for my fireplace and would like information and/or assistance with the ordering process. The fireplace was recently remodeled with stone tiles and the opening measures 30-3/16" wide and 21-1/8" tall. The pictures I took do not exactly follow the examples given on your site, but I think they cover the necessary information and I'm hoping you will have enough information from these pictures to help me order the frame and tell me how to install it. (Looking at the example video, I think I need to drill directly into the brick, which is not how it was done in the video, and I want to make sure that is okay). Thank you for your time and assistance.
Our Comments: The Stiletto Cutback door works best when the opening is perfectly square within 1/16". If your tile was done with that accuracy, it is an excellent choice. If there is more variation than 1/16", you will want to consider other alternatives. We have created mockups of such doors below including the Stiletto Cutback.
Fireplace Opening: 30 1/16" W x 21 1/8" H
Before:
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.
Option #1: Stiletto Cutback Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Option #2: Brookfield Fireplace Glass Door in Natural Iron with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.
Option #3: Legend Fireplace Glass Door in Forged Iron with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains.
These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.
Option #4: Minimal-1 Twin Fireplace Glass Door in Satin Nickel with Polished Nickel Hardware, Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains. This is the most minimal door on the market.
Option #5: HYBRID-2 Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Flat Black with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains. This door has no frame on the sides.

If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need to have mesh behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. You can chooe between gate mesh backup doors and sliding mesh curtains. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.
We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.
