Customer Comments: Good Morning, I have attached several pictures of my stone fireplace located in my living room. I am looking to add doors to it. I would be very happy if you could provide me with some additional direction. Rough, dimensions are 36 1/4" wide and 31 1/4" high. My wife and I have looked at several of the project pictures on you website. An example of what we may consider is Project #11117 , option 6. Thank you for all your help in advance.
Our Comments: We have created a mockup of the door you liked along with others that are similar we would recommend. The hewn stone is a bit irregular, so if you want a frame that overlaps the opening, we recommend doors that have a frame at least 2" to 3" wide. Otherwise, you can fit the door inside the opening and fill the gaps with mortar. We have included an example of that look as well. One thing we noticed is the rack that is just to the top left of the opening may need to be moved in order to install some of the overlap fitting doors.
Fireplace Opening: 36 1/4" W x 31 1/4" H
Before:
Standard size doors ship faster than custom doors. They are assembled to order from precut pieces and then finished, so there are more finish options than doors doors that are already premade and in stock. Stock doors are on the shelf ready to ship within 2 business days and have no options.
Option #1: Standard Size Flat Steel Twin Fireplace Door with Window Pane Door Design in Textured Black with Brass Finished Handles. Shown with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. This is the door you provided as an example of what you might like.
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 #2: Savannah Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Option #3: Bungalow Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup 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.
Option #4: Legend Fireplace Glass Door with Mission Window Pane Design, Gray Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. Shown as an inside fit with mortar.
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details.
Option #5: Craftsman Fireplace Glass Door in Forged Iron with Gray Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

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.
