Customer Comments: Need new glass doors for 3 fireplaces.
Our Comments: These are prefabricated fireplaces and require special doors that allow air to flow into the fireplace so they do not overheat and cause a potential fire hazard. You must burn your gas logs with the glass doors open. The doors that you liked are for masonry fireplaces only and cannot be used on your fireplaces. Please read the comments beneath each of the before pictures below.
Fireplace Opening: Unknown
Before (Fireplace #1): This fireplace has vents on each side of the opening that cannot be covered up. The new glass doors must either fit inside the opening like Option #1, or have an overlap fitting frame with louvers to allow airflow into the vents as shown in Option #2.
Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto ZC Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Black. This door fits inside the opening.
Option #2: Hearth Creations ZC Retrim Cabinet Fireplace Glass Door with Side Louvers in Matte Black.
Before (Fireplace #2): This see through fireplace requires doors that allow airflow into the fireplace. The doors can be very similar to the door you liked, but must have 1/4" spacers on the back of the frame to allow air to flow into the fireplace.
Option #3: Hearth Creations Flat Steel ZC Fireplace Cabinet Glass Door in Matte Black.
Fig #1 - Example provided by customer of the doors they liked
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.
