Customer Comments: Looking for some type of doors to minimize drafts, etc. here in NH. Hoping you can help. 60’s California ranch style. I can send more photos from adjacent rooms if that would help.
Our Comments: Based on our phone conversation and subsequent emails, I have determined that the doors must be made similar to how the current brass bar is, with the right side haveing a return. The post at the corner is set out beyond the bricks on the bottom, and those bottom bricks come out beyond the right side of the fireplace. The door must be made from solid steel in order to have a side return.
Fireplace Opening:
Before:
After #1: Room shot of front side
After #2: Room shot of short side
After #3: Closeup of front side. Notice the small return on the right side that was necessary to close the gap.
After #4: Corner view with right side door open.
After #5: Front side closeup. Doors are shown opened to about 90 degrees, but can be opened 180 degrees. Mesh doors are shown closed.
These doors are made from 3/16" thick solid steel that is laser cut. This gives us the ability to wrap the door around the post and create the required return on the right side. The frames can be powder coated or brass plated.
