Heat & Glo Gas Fireplaces

Start by identifying whether your fireplace is masonry (brick, stone, mortar joints) or prefab (metal box, refractory panels bolted in). Masonry takes overlap-fit doors that hide the brick face; prefab needs an exact-match door for your make and model. Our AI Fireplace Expert identifies your fireplace from a photo in 15 seconds.

Standard-size doors come in fixed sizes (typically 36×26 to 42×30) and ship in 3–5 days starting at $865. Custom doors are built to your exact opening — to the 1/8 inch — and run 14–21 business days. Most masonry openings need custom because they're rarely square.

Quick-ship Hearthcraft and Stoll Columbia doors leave the warehouse in 2–6 business days. Custom Stoll and Design Specialties run 14–21 business days. Premium Avalon, Bar Iron (ForgeLine), and plated finishes run 4–5 weeks. Every order ships free in the continental US.

Yes — every door ships with a hardware pack, install instructions, and template. Masonry overlap doors need a hammer drill with a 1/4-inch masonry bit; prefab doors anchor to existing factory mounting points. Plan on 30–60 minutes for the install. The installation guide walks through both fit types.
