Our Comments: In this case, there is a damper lever just under the lintel that must be accommodated. To do this, we must make the door fit inside the opening under the lintle and cut a notch in the frame for the lever. For a tighter seal, the back of the frame should rest against the bracket holding the lever. This will leave a portion of the firebrick showing at the bottom, which we can cover with a flange. We would make the door about 1/4" smaller on each side and the gaps will need to be filled with mortar as illustrated.
