Customer Comments: Have a chain screen. Looking to install glass doors
Our Comments: There are basically two options for corner fireplaces like this. Doors with a frame that fits inside the black metal opening, or "Retrim" doors that have a frame that covers the entire black metal fireplace. Retrim doors are easily attached with magnets, so there is no drilling required. The slot just below the bottom of the fireplace opening is an air intake that cannot be blocked, so we have added bottom louvers in the examples below to balance out the look.
Fireplace Opening: Unknown
Before:
Aluminum doors are the least expensive option and are made to fit inside the opening.
Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto Aluminum Corner Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass.
These doors are made from formed steel and are attached simply with magnets, no installation is required.

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.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8" from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.
Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.

 Photo #1: With your camera sideways, take a picture directly in front of the fireplace from far enough away to see the entire fireplace floor to ceiling like this.

 Photo #2: With your back to the fireplace, take a picture looking straight out into the room so we can see the decor directly in front of the fireplace.
