Customer Comments: I have an existing Heatilator Mark 123, model 3036, factory-built wood burning fireplace. The brick opening measures approximately 35" wide × 27" high I'm planning to install vented ceramic gas logs and would like to replace the existing sliding mesh curtain with a more attractive framed mesh screen with hinged doors, preferably recessed within the brick opening. Let me know id you have solutions that is approved for my fireplace model and approximate cost
Our Comments: Each of the examples below can be made to fit inside your fireplace opening. Some of the doors are attached with pressure screws, which means there is so no drilling is required, you simply set the door in place and tighten 4 screws. I also included the Lava Series gas logs from Grand Canyon, the most realistic gas logs on the market with burners inside the logs so flames come out of the logs themselves.
Fireplace Opening: 35" W x 27" H
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle relatively high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is not as heavy duty and rugged as steel or wrought iron, but it is the most affordable. These doors do not come with pressure screws, so installation requires drilling.
Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto Aluminum Cabinet Mesh Fireplace Door in Black. Installation requires drilling.
Formed steel is a step up from aluminum and is made from a heavy gauge sheet metal that is formed to make the frame. There are seams where the formed frame pieces are attached to each other, so it is not as clean a look as the more expensive flat steel. Easy mount pressure screws included with no drilling required.
These doors are laser cut from a solid sheet of 3/16" steel and have no seams at the corners. They are heavy duty with a more finished look than the less expensive aluminum and formed steel doors.
Option #3: Hearth Creations Heavy Duty 3/16" Thick Flat Steel Fireplace Mesh Door in Matte Black.
Hand forged by a blacksmith from 1/4" thick solid wrought iron with heavy duty construction. Not only are these built to be used, they take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship and tasteful details. The heavy duty hinges allow for single doors which provide an excellent view of the fire. Easy mount pressure screws included with no drilling required.
Option #4: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Pacifico Single Fireplace Mesh Door in Burnished Medium Bronze with Single Door.
Option #5: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Luxe Cabinet Mesh Door in Burnished Black Copper with Scroll Pattern.
Shown Above: Grand Canyon 30 Inch Lava Gas Logs with GloFire Technology. These are the only logs on the market with burners cast inside the logs so flames come directly out of the logs themselves. They are by far the most realistic gas logs on the market, but also one of the most expensive.
