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.
Fireplace Opening: 30" W x 30" H
Before:
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.

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.
