Customer Comments: Width is 51 inches and height is 38 inches. We have kids so we need something sturdy that will not fall over easily. We have been looking for a screen to keep our toddler out of it but haven't been able to find one that is large enough for the opening. Thank you!
Our Comments: Glass doors are the most popular choice for keeping children and pets out of the fireplace. The also have the benefit of eliminating drafts from the chimney. They can be made with keyed locks or latches to keep children from opening them. Free standing screen doors and single panel screens are also popular. Here are some examples.
