Fireplace Opening: 42 1/8" - 42 3/16" W x 21" - 21 3/16" H
Before:
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.
Option #1: Design Specialties Brookfield Fireplace Glass Door Cast Bronze (inside fit).
Option #2: Design Specialties Stiletto Fireplace Glass Door in Classic Bronze (inside fit).
Option #3: Hearth Creations Profile 6 Fireplace Glass Door in Bronzed Iron (1/2" overlap fit).
Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.
Option #4: Design Specialties Essex Fireplace Glass Door Oil Rubbed Bronze (1/4" overlap fit).
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details.
Option #5: Design Specialties Craftsman Fireplace Glass Door in Forged Iron (inside fit).
These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.
Option #6: Stone Manufacturing Minimal-1 Fireplace Twin Glass Door with Bronze Metallic Hardware (inside fit). This door uses 3/8" thick glass for added elegance. There is no frame on the sides. It has an angle iron on the top and bottom that supports the hardware.
Option #7: Stone Manufacturing HYBRID-2 Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Weathered Brass (inside fit). This door has no frame on the sides. It has an angle iron on the top and bottom that supports the hardware.
Option #8: Stone Manufacturing SD Solid Brass Sliding Fireplace Door with Half Oval Casting Trim in Old English (1/4" overlap or inside fit). This door has 2 fixed panes of glass on the right and left sides and 2 sliding panes in the center. Best used with gas fires.
These are baked enamel finishes, so they are all heat resistant. These are all Group 1 finishes, which are same price group as flat black.
Group 1: Eanamel Finishes
Hello, Attached are the different angles/photos of the fireplace. It appears the fireplace is a prefab with a gas pipe. It does have a chimney but there is no lintel bar, just marble tile over the front of it. Measurements are based on the inside lengths going from tile to tile and not the inset metal of the fireplace. Below is what I got off my first pass:
Width
1. Top - 42 3/16
2. Middle - 42 3/16
3. Bottom - 42 1/8
Height
1. Left - 21 3/16
2. Center - 21 1/8
3. Right - 21
As for what we are looking for:
1. Something to tie into existing fireplace nicely
2. Nothing ornate but simple & nice
3. It can have some design to it but not looking for a bevel frame since the marble around it is flat/smooth
4. Trackless Bi-Fold doors
5. Solid mesh gate (unless recommended doors do not require one)
6. Hoping to get an inside fit
7. Want to show off as much of the fireplace as possible (i.e., not cover it up with a lot of large metal unless the design makes the area pop)
If it helps, unless you have better options, I have identified some fireplaces online while goggling. Please do not limit your professional opinions to the selections below but instead use them as a proof of concept for what we are looking for (we are not even sure if they will work).
1. Essex
2. Stiletto
3. Craftsman
4. Carolina
5. Stone Manufacturing HYBRID-2
6. Brookfield
7. Legend
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

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 #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.
