Affordable Aluminum Doors

Stiletto

Option #1B: Design Specialties Stiletto Aluminum Glass Door in Rustic Black. This door has a 1 5/8" deep frame that projects out with a box-like appearance. Requires drilling into the black bricks inside the fireplace for installation.

Stiletto Cutback

Option #1C: Design Specialties Stiletto Cutback Aluminum Glass Door in Rustic Black. This upgraded version of the Stiletto door has a 5/16" deep frame that is nearly flush to the fireplace for a more clean finished look. Requires drilling into the black bricks inside the fireplace for installation.

Brookfield

Option #1D: Design Specialties Brookfield Aluminum Glass Door in Rustic Black. Requires drilling into the black bricks inside the fireplace for installation.

Medium Range Flat Steel Doors

Steel doors are more substantial and heavy duty than aluminum doors. Because they are laser cut from solid 3/16" steel, there are no seems at the corners and they have a higher quality appearance. The manufacturer's tolerance for production is +- 1/8"

Flat Steel

Option #2: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Glass Doors in Matte Black. Uses pressure mount for installation, no drilling required.

High End Hand Crafted Sliding Doors

These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans at Stone Manufacturing, a very high end fireplace door company. The frame is made from an angle that is somewhat obscured behind the glass with a visible edge of only 3/16" on the sides. The two outer panes of glass are fixed and the inner panes slide left and right to open and close. The frame can be made from solid brass or steel. Solid brass is recommended for coastal applications. Can be finished in Flat Black or Gloss Black. The manufacturer's tolerance for production are very precise: +0 - 1/16"

EDGE-2

Option #3: Stone Manufacturing EDGE-2-SD Sliding Glass Door in Black. Shown with doors open. Uses pressure mount for installation, no drilling required.

Stiletto Profiles

The Design Specialties Stiletto door has a normal frame thickness of 1 5/8", so it projects out with a box-like look. It can also be made with a "Cutback" frame that has a shallow 5/16" thick depth for a more custom flush appearance. The cutback frame should only be used with fireplaces that are perfectly square (within 1/16") due to the minimal overlap that is available.
