Be sure to take all measurements to the nearest 1/16” using a steel tape measure. Note any irregularities around the opening of the fireplace, such as projecting or recessed brick, and advise us before you place an order. For complex custom applications, a photograph of the fireplace will prove very helpful.

 

OVERLAP FIT (needs hearth to sit on)

When the fireplace door is larger than the opening of the fireplace. Measure the width of the opening at the top and again at the bottom. We need the exact minimum width. Next, measure the height of the opening from the hearth (where the door will sit) to either the bottom of the lintel bar or the bottom of the finishing material (brick, marble, etc). We need the exact minimum height.

 

4-SIDED OVERLAP FIT (for suspended openings)
When the fireplace door is larger than the opening on ALL 4-SIDES of the fireplace. Measure the width of the opening at the top and again at the bottom. We need the exact minimum width. Next, measure the height of the opening from the firebox floor either to the bottom of the lintel bar or the bottom of the finishing material (brick, marble, etc). We need the exact minimum height. Make sure there is enough space for the frame to overlap on all sides of your fireplace opening!

 

INSIDE FIT (inside firebox opening)

When the fireplace door is smaller than the opening of the fireplace, and fits inside of the fireplace opening. Measure the width of the opening at the top and again at the bottom. We need the exact minimum width. Next, measure the height of the opening from the hearth/floor to either the bottom of the lintel bar or the bottom of the finishing material (brick, marble, etc). We need the exact minimum height.

 

DO NOT make adjustments to sizes, we need the EXACT OPENING size

INSIDE FIT - Generally, the clearance tolerance gaps can be filled from the backside of the frame using high temp silicone RTV. If the gaps become excessive (as in a stone fireplace), it may be necessary to mortar in the enclosure. Clearance tolerance gaps are determined by the manufacturer according to your opening size.

The Grand Seal Fireplace Door is engineered to eliminate back smoking in fireplaces at negative pressure levels up to -25 PA, allowing you to enjoy a traditional wood-burning fireplace even in states with the most stringent energy codes. This door features gasketed swing sections that encase each glass panel, along with a gasket that seals the frame of the door to the face of the fireplace, effectively preventing heat loss through the fireplace opening.

Features:

  • Super Sealed Construction: Designed for closed-door use on high heat output fireplaces.
  • Durable Design: Constructed entirely from ¼” steel with 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" angle iron doors, making it the most durable option for true radiant heaters.
  • Optional Fire Screen: Choose from sliding or swinging fire screens for added safety and convenience.
  • Top Safety Rating: Tested to UL 907 and listed with Intertek testing when ordered with ceramic glass and wood handles, ensuring safe use with masonry-installed fireplaces.
  • Room Air Inlet: The optional room air inlet at the base directs incoming air vertically against the glass, minimizing smoke accumulation and keeping the glass cleaner for longer.

Customization Options:

  • Handles: Woodblock handles that are bottom-mounted, with various design options.
  • Glass: Ceramic glass, rated to 1400 degrees, is recommended for all closed-door use. It improves heat transfer from the fire into the room due to its superior radiant heat transmission.
  • Screen Types: Sliding screens that can be moved to the sides for fire viewing, and more durable swinging screens that can be removed for closed-door use.
  • Finishes: Various finishes are available to match your home decor.

What is a Sealed Fireplace Door?

A sealed fireplace door is designed with high-temperature, continuous woven gaskets that tightly seal the operable door sections to the frame and secure the glass panels in place. This innovative sealing method effectively prevents air from flowing in or out of the fireplace.

Benefits:

  • Prevents Excess Air Flow and Drafts: Stops unwanted air and cold drafts from entering the room.
  • Fire Control: Provides better control over the fire, enhancing safety and efficiency.
  • Reduces Odor: Minimizes fireplace odors when the fireplace is not in use.
  • Energy Efficiency: Lowers heating and cooling costs by maintaining a more stable indoor temperature.
  • Eliminates Back Smoking: Prevents smoke from entering the room even at negative pressure levels exceeding -25 PA, making it suitable for wood-burning fireplaces in regions with strict building codes.

Sealed fireplace doors are an excellent solution for enhancing the functionality and energy efficiency of traditional wood-burning fireplaces.

Recommendations:

  • Overlap: Each door will be built to overlap the masonry opening by one inch on the sides and top unless specified differently.
  • Accurate Measurements: Your custom-built door will be as accurate as the measurements provided. Use a rigid tape or metal ruler for exact measurements.
  • Mounting Flange: A mounting flange will protrude into your fireplace opening 2 inches, sized to allow a 1/4” space between it and your masonry opening. This area is used to pack fiberglass insulation to seal the frame to the masonry face. Holes must be site-drilled through this flange into the masonry for attachment.
  • Caulking: Use high-temperature silicone or refractory caulking to fill any voids between the door frame and your fireplace.

1. The tools required for installation: a power drill, a 1/4" metal drill bit, a 3/16" masonry drill bit, a 5/16" socket with ratchet, a caulking gun, hi-temp silicone and safety glasses. Always wear safety glasses during installation to prevent unwanted objects in your eyes. Use properly grounded electrical cords to prevent electrical shock.

2. The door installation kit includes: an insulation strip, self tapping masonry lag screws and 2-wooden handles.

3. Remove all parts and protective packing from the door carton.

4. WARNING! This door frame must be installed PLUMB!! DO NOT FORCE THE DOOR TO FIT IRREGULAR OPENINGS!! This will cause misalignment of the glass sections and a poor seal will result. Plumb the masonry front with cement or fill the void with insulation. All doors are factory fit on a plumb surface to verify alignment and fit of the doors.

5. Measure the sides of the opening to determine where cement joints exist. Drill the builders flange using the 1/4" metal drill bit at the appropriate joint heights and in ½ inch from the back side of the builders flange. Usually, the lowest holes are up approximately 8" from the hearth line. Drill the top holes approximately 2" down from the lintel iron. See the illustration on the back of this page. Place the door frame into the opening and mark the cement seams where the holes have been made in the builders flange. Remove the frame and drill holes into these marked areas with the 3/16" masonry bit. These holes must extend in as deep as the lag screws.

6. Reposition the frame into the opening and start the masonry lags in the holes. Set the door frame in the opening and center left to right. Insert the fiberglass seal between masonry and the builders flange. Tighten the screws into the masonry cement using the 5/16" socket and ratchet. Verify that the door frame is plumb. Place the doors on the hinges and re-plumb if doors are out of alignment. Tighten all mounting screws evenly.

7. Use Hi-temp silicone to seal the inner perimeter of the builders flange to the fireplace facing for maximum sealing, avoiding contact with the outside finished front of doors and frame.

8. If a bottom mounted block wood handle is used, place several drops of crazy glue in the handle hole to permanently attach the wood handle to the door latch. The flat non-milled side of handle goes toward the door. Glue contacting the door or frame finish may discolor this finish.

Does this door prevent the smells from fires happening above (apartment building) when closed? When my fireplace is not running, but the unit upstairs is, I can smell the fumes through my fireplace. Would this prevent this?
