Carrington Large Glass Fireplace Doors

The Pleasant Hearth Carrington Fireplace Glass Door is a decorative bifold door with a high-heat, Antique Brass powder-coated finish that will add warmth and charm to your traditional masonry fireplace. The one-piece frame construction is designed to be mounted against a flat surface outside the fireplace opening. It has easy-grip handles, hidden damper-control knobs for airflow control, and thick, heat-resistant insulation. This fireplace door can assist in reducing heat or cool-air loss up the chimney by as much as 90%. Always keep mesh panels closed and glass doors open when fire is burning in fireplace. For masonry fireplaces only; not for prefabricated. Made in the USA.

The product is what I wanted; however, not enough insualtions came with the prduct. The local Home Depot does not have it nor could I find it on your website. I have search other large stores as well as loca ones and can not find the insualtion tht we need. That is a bummer!!! We really are not comfortable using our firelace screen until we can get the insulation.
Pros: Easy to Install, Good Size & Weight
Cons: not enough insulation
Yes, I recommend this product.

Delivery was timely. Product could not be installed by
contractor because doors did not fully open to allow access to the existing fireplace. Returned for credit against charge card. Will likely not order a similar product
online the next time around because we could not see it
"in person.
Pros: Stylish
Cons: Difficult to Install, did not work properly

I'm glad the brass is darker than the picture. It makes it look richer. It was easy it to install. It arrived the day they said it would. Very satisfied with everything.. We looked at similar custom doors starting at $1000. These are just as good.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Love the big wide open space when doors and screens are fully open. Makes for easy ligthing, adding logs, stoking, and cleaning. No annoying screen curtains or sliding glass or screen doors.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Our new antique bronze fireplace door is highly attractive and belies its economical price. Installation was not complicated and the instructions easy to follow. The door's silky satin surface really sets off the new stone surround. I find myself just staring at it...
Yes, I recommend this product.

I purchased and installed these doors, and I'm generally pleased. Construction is sturdy and they look good. The doors DO have an OPTIONAL 2" bottom bar (same bronze color as the rest of the frame). The bar can be left off, decreasing the outer height by 2". This was perfect for me because the doors only fit my fireplace when the bottom bar was left off. The bi-fold glass doors fold back flush to the frame, which is nice. The inner "single-fold" screen doows don't fold all the way back, but that's fine since you will only open them to add wood and will usually have them closed.
I had some trouble installing the doors. My lintel (metal bar inside across the top of your fireplace) is sloped rather than square, so the thumb screws (primary installation method) just slid off. (Can't fallt the doors for that.) I tried the alternate installation method: drill 2 holes in the lintel and screw the bracket directly to the lintel. Well, the "self-tapping" screws included didn't make a dent in my lintel and instead stripped themselves down to smooth pegs - no good for holding the door in place! (I do count that as a fault against the doors.) I worked around this by buying some expansion bolts, drilling a larger hole through the lintel and into the brick, and bolting the mounting bracket in place that way. A chore but it worked. Hopefully your lintel will be more "normal"; otherwise expect to improvise.
The lower thumb screws seemed to wobble a bit, allowing the bottom of the door to move about a quarter inch, but I worked around this by sliding the contact point inward until the screw was "pre-stressed" and couldn't wobble any more. The thumb screw pressure mounting doesn't seem to be the strongest bottom mounting (if I really tried, I'm sure I could pull the bottom loose), but the doors are definitely fine for normal use. The mounting system seems to be designed to be quick and easy (assuming you have a "normal" fireplace) rather than to stop an elephant, and I can live with that.
Over all, these are nice looking doors, sturdily build and reasonably mounted, and I'm glad I bought them.
Yes, I recommend this product.
