I recommend using a heavy mil Rosin paper for making the template. You can buy rosin paper by the roll at any home center. A heavy gauge craft paper may also be sufficient if it is heavy enough to be stretched tight and not tear during the prices. Cardboard will also work if you can get a perfectly square piece large enough.
Template Step 1: Measure up from the floor to 26" and make a pencil mark on the mantel leg at that height. Cut a piece of heavy paper so it fits roughtly inside the second layer of the mantel where the bottom of the paper will line up with the pencil marks. You may need a couple people to help you by holding the paper in place while cutting it, or you can temporarily tape it to the mantel and do a rough trace. I bit of trial and error and you can get it to fit roughly as shown.
Template Step 2: Mark the rough template "Outside Looking In" and then tape it in place making sure it is drawn tight and the bottom edge is perfectly aligned with the pencil marks in Step 1. Then, carefully trace the shape of the opening on the back side of the template as accurately as possible with a pencil. It is best if you hold something rigid against the other side of the paper as you go, so you can press when tracing.
Template Step 2B: Do not remove the tamplate at this point. Above is an illustration of how we might expect the traced line to appear on the back side of the template.
Template Step 3: Before you remove the template, take a picture so we can see that it was made properly. After the picture is taken, you can remove the template and fold the tap over or cut it off, so you can roll up the template for mailing.
Template Step 4: Once the template is removed, take the above measurements for the width between the mantel legs at the top and bottom and the height from the floor to the bottom center of the mantel just to the right of the notch as indicated in the drawing. The notch is an anomaly, so we do not want that to affect what we call the center height. We will provide further instructions for mailing the template and providing the dimensions and emailing the picture.

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.
