Customer Comments: We are interested in getting glass doors for our outdoor fireplace (see attached pictures). To give you a sense of the dimensions the stucco opening is 42 3/4 inches by 24 3/4 inches. Given that we are new to this, we would like to talk to you about options. Best availability for us is afternoons on Tuesday or Friday, or anytime on the weekend. We look forward to hearing from you.
Our Comments: Because this is a prefabricated outdoor fireplace, your options are very limited. You can use an aluminum cabinet door or a stainless steel bifold door, both painted black. Some other finishes are available, but black is the most durable. We will discuss your options further over the phone. These two mockups show the difference between the two doors.
Fireplace Opening: 42 3/4" W x 24 3/4" H
Before:
Aluminum is an excellent material for outdoor fireplaces because it does not rust like steel. An outdoor package is available where they make the hinges and some other hardware in stainless steel along with stainless steel mesh, all painted black. They do not make the bifold hinges in stainless steel, so we recommend cabinet doors for this model.
Option #1: Design Specialties Brookfield Outdoor Cabinet Fireplace Glass Door with Clear Glass in Textured Black. Shown with Stainless Steel Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
This door frame is made entire from 3/16" thick stainless steel. The hinges and other hardware are also stainless steel including the mesh backup doors. It is also available in a brushed stainless finish.
Option #2: Design Specialties Legend Bifold Stinless Steel Outdoor Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Gray Glass. Shown with Stainless Steel Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Please follow these instructions for measuring your fireplace:
Outside Opening: Remeasure the width and height of the stucco opening. We need the smallest width and height so the door will fit inside of it, so you need to measure all around to find the smallest size. We will deduct 1/8” on all 4 sides from those measurements so the door frame fits comfortably.
W1: Smallest stucco opening width:
H1: Smallest stucco opening height:
Inside Opening: The Legend door has a 1” deep subframe that projects into the fireplace. The diagram indicates where to measure inside so we can make the subframe clear any obstructions.
W2: Actual width of metal fireplace opening:
H2: Height of metal fireplace opening from the back side of the top track down to the raised metal lip at the bottom:
The door will be made with pressure screws for installation, so no tools will be necessary and it will only take a few minutes to install.
