Customer Comments: We have a fieldstone fireplace at our cabin. We would like doors. Not sure if pull screens are possible if you have doors. In addition to being able to close the doors, the door insert must reduce the size of the opening when the doors are open. We had a new insert installed and it reduced the opening size of the chimney so now we need to reduce the fireplace opening size (otherwise smoke comes into the room). It doesn't have the right draw.
Our Comments: We can add a smoke guard to the back side of the door frame behind the glass that will reduce the size of the opening. Read more below and see the mockups.
Fireplace Opening: 33 1/2" W x 23" H (sides) 27" H (center)
Before:
These doors are custom made with a smoke guard 1 1/2" behind the glass and mesh doors that gets bolted to the steel subframe of the door that reduces the functional height of the fireplace opening to whatever height you want. When the doors are burned open, this will reduce the likelihood of smoke coming into the room. There are no guarantees this will work, but reducing the height of the fireplace opening is usually a pretty good cure for smoke problems. You can always test this by cutting a piece of plywood and securing it to the opening and see what happens when you burn a fire. Of course, you must be careful you do not let the plywood catch fire. You can also burn a fire with these particular glass doors closed to effectively block the smoke.

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.
