Superior WRT2042 Fireplace Doors — Exact-Fit Doors (WCT2042 Too)
Fireplace Doors for the Superior WRT2042
The WRT2042 and WCT2042 are the 42-inch members of Superior's 2000 series — the wide version of the most economical wood-burning fireplace in the current Superior catalog. The factory drawing lists the front opening at 42 inches wide by 21-1/2 inches tall: the classic wide-and-low proportion that has defined the American builder fireplace for fifty years, now in current production. Doors for it are plentiful in theory and approximate in practice, which is the gap this page exists to close.
Which 42-inch Superior is yours?
Superior's current catalog alone holds two 42-inch wood-burners with different openings — this 2042 at 42 x 21-1/2 and the WRT3042 at 42 x 24 — and the brand's Lennox-era history adds the BR-42, BC-42, RD-42, and HC-42 on top. Same width, five different fireplaces. The rating plate inside the firebox settles it; when the plate can't be reached, a straight-on photo through our AI Fireplace Expert does.
The door decision on a 2000-series box
- Factory route: Superior's BDB42 bi-fold — the catalog answer in the catalog finish.
- Custom route: a door built to your measured opening, in the style and finish the room calls for. Cabinet, full-view, or bi-fold formats, glass and mesh options, instant pricing in the prefab door collection.
- Non-negotiables either way: inside-fit mounting on an unmodified zero-clearance firebox with every air path clear. No masonry overlap doors on sheet metal.
Measuring your WRT2042
Width at top, middle, and bottom; height at left, center, and right; smallest numbers win — full steps in our measuring guide. The factory's 42 x 21-1/2 describes the appliance as shipped; your facing, hearth, and years of service decide what the tape reads today, and the tape is what we build to under the Perfect Fit Guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
What size door fits a Superior WRT2042? The factory drawing lists a 42" x 21-1/2" front opening. Confirm the model, then measure the installed opening.
Do the WRT2042 and WCT2042 take the same door? They share one spec sheet and one documented opening. Note your full model string from the plate and measure — that combination defines the build.
Will a WRT3042 door fit? No — the 3042 opening is 2-1/2 inches taller. Same brand and width is not same fireplace.
Can I burn with the doors closed? Only with glass rated for it. Ceramic glass is the upgrade that makes closed-door burning possible — mention it when you order.
