Customer Comments: Hi, Fire place opening dimensions are W 38-1/2" x H 20-1/8". Looking for a fire place door with a 4" frame on left, right and top.
Our Comments: Outdoor fireplace doors must be made from special materials such as aluminum or stainless steel. A 4" wide frame will require stainless steel. We assume you want a wide frame to help hide the irregularities in the stone. For fireplaces like yours, we actually recommend using a narrow frame and fitting the door inside, filling the gaps with mortar. On the stainless steel doors, we recommend pyro-ceramic glass so that you can burn a fire with the doors closed. The Aluminum doors can be burned closed with the normal tempered glass. We can explain this over the phone.
Fireplace Opening: 38 1/2" W x 20 1/8" H
Before:
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.

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.
