I Don’t Know My Manufacturer or Model

When your fireplace manufacturer and model number can’t be located, snap some photo’s (as shown)  send them and your measurements to [email protected]

Where to Measure

Measure the width and height of the steel opening where the enclosure will fit. This will be the same position that the fireplace manufacturer’s enclosure would be installed. Do not measure the finish material in front of the fireplace; brick, stone, marble, slate, tile, etc.

Attaching the Doors

With the handle at the top (handles must be at the top) fold door together, and locate the bottom door pivot pin.

With panel door at 45 degree angle, place door pivot pin into the frame bottom receiving hole clip.

Frame Thickness

This frame is installed by sliding the frame back into the opening approximately 1 inch. The frame is secured by 4 screws. Next the doors are snapped into the newly installed frame. This ensures a proper fit every time

Position the frame in the fireplace and center the frame between the left and right side of the fireplace opening.

It is Important that the frame is installed with the correct side up to insure smooth operation of the doors.
