Customer Comments: This is the original gas fireplace in our 1913 craftsman; we’d like fireplace door with unlacquered brass accents. Happy to see options with and without beveled glass. It’s small, and the design can be relatively simple. Generally, the dimensions are 30” wide; 29.5” tall at the center; 25-13/16” tall on the sides; and there is a limestone cap that extends 0.5” into the opening on both sides. (We have a stonemason who would cut that out accordingly for install.)
Our Comments: These doors are all made from solid brass. They can be made in the finish as shown, or just hand polished unlacquered brass that will develop a natural patina. You must burn your fireplace with the doors open. Due to the benches on the sides, the door must be made to fit inside the opening. An accurate template must be provided. We will make the frame 1/4" smaller than the template on the top and each side and the gap around the frame will need to be filled with mortar.
Gas Log Warning: To prevent the burner and pilot mechanism from overheating causing safety issues, vented gas logs must be burned with glass doors open. The Modern-1 door is an exception to this rule as it can be made with a special Gas Log AirWash system that allows you to close the doors while burning a vented gas logs. Vent Free gas logs cannot have glass doors closed under any circumstances. Read more below.

Before:
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, or can be supplied hand polished with no finish.

If the fireplace doors are beyond the budget, you may want to consider a solid brass single panel screen. This can be made unlacquered as well. The andirons I am showing are half price and do have an enamel coating, but I can have that removed for an added charge.
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing 1P10M Solid Brass Single Panel Screen. Shown with Closeout Special* AR-AN8 Antique Reproducton Early American Revere Andirons.

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.
