Minimal Fireplace Doors with Narrow Frames - Project #10894

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.

Before
Before:

Low End Aluminum Doors

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.

Brookfield

Medium Range Steel Doors

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.

Legend

High End Hand Crafted Solid Brass

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.
