Customer Comments: Hi, We bought a house recently and looking to get a custom size door just because I don't think that one of the standard ones can fit. There are some bricks sticking out on the top of the fireplace and height clearance for the frame is 27 1/4". The opening itself is 34 1/2" x 27". I am looking for something like this (Link to Brookfield Glass Door): with a frame size of about 2", black with clear glass doora and mesh doors.
Our Comments: The Brookfield is a good choice for your fireplace. We included a few other options as well that you might even like better. We will need to make the door about 1/4" smaller than the lowest height beneath the metal lintel supporting the bricks at the top of the opening. You will need to find the very lowest point and measure to the nearest 1/16".
Fireplace Opening: 34 1/2" W x 27" 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.
Option #1: Design Specialties Brookfield Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #2: Design Specialties Stiletto Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
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.
Option #3: Design Specialties Legend Fireplace Glass Door in Forged Iron with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.
Option #4: Stone Manufacturing HYBRID-2 Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Flat Black with Special Graylite-14 Dark Gray Glass and Mesh Curtains. This door has no frame on the sides, just an angle iron on the top and bottom to support the door hardware.

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.
