Customer Comments: I need masonry fire place door with screen, the upper end price. As you see the first picture is the style of fireplace The next two pictures are my fireplaces One 40"w x28"h One 32" w x 28"h Two glass doors Two screen doors at least 3" overlap (Im willing to consider your opinion 3 or 4" ?) 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 #1: 32" W x 29 18/2" H
Fireplace Opening #2: 41" W x 29 18/2" H

How To Measure

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.
