Let me know the price and approximate delivery date If you hang questions call me.
Our Comments: Here are the mockups you requested shown on both of your stone fireplaces. The rest of your questions are answered in the email I sent. If you do an overlap fitting door, we recommend between 2" to 3" overlap on the top and sides. You may also wish to consider an inside fit, in which case we make the frame slightly smaller than the opening and you fill the gaps between the frame and stone with mortar.

Fireplace Opening #2: 41" W x 29 18/2" H

We need to know the smallest and largest width and height of the openings. You must use a level to mesure correctly. Line up the level to the inner most stone on the left side and mark the hearth at the bottom of the level. Line up the level with the widest stone on the left side and mark the hearth. To the same for the right side then measure the distance between the inner marks.

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.
