• Place the doors in an upright position. Attach the handle (2) to the door with the included screws (3).
• Slide the hinge pins (4) into place.
OPTION B – Mesh Door Screen (shipped separately with this kit).
• Place the doors (1) face down on a suitable work surface).
• Remove the nuts (7) holding the upper (5) and lower (6) inserts in place. Remove the inserts and
install the mesh screens. Note: the screens have a sheet-metal frame spot-welded to them - make
sure the sheet-metal faces outward – this protects the screen and covers the sharp edges. Secure
the screens with the nuts removed earlier. Do not over-tighten
• Place the doors in an upright position. Attach the handle (2) to the door with the included screws (3).
1Remove the glass frame from the fireplace (see the owner's manual for details).
2Install the hinge brackets onto the fireplace following the directions below.
Remove and discard the nuts and bushings attached to the stud
plates near the firebox (
falling out, we recommend removing one nut and bushing and
installing a nut before removing the second nut and bushing.).
Attach the nuts included with this kit. Do not secure the nuts all the
way - leave a 1/8” gap between the nut and the stud plate.
HINT: To prevent the stud plates from
Discard the nuts
and bushings.
1/8”
Slide the hinge brackets into place
- the slots on the bracket slide over
the press studs on the fireplace.
Hand tighten the upper nut. Use
a wrench to securely tighten the
lower nut to prevent the hinge
bracket from bending while the
doors are in place.
11/32" Open End Wrench
Secure the hinge
brackets to the fireplace
with the included
screws.
Repeat these steps for
the opposite side.
NOTE: The hinge brackets have a notch
on the bottom - this helps determine the
left bracket from the right bracket.
5Install the upper and lower grills (mesh screens) following the directions below.
NOTE: The upper and lower grills are different. The lower grill has end-stops on either side.
Upper Grill
Installation
Hold the grill at an angle and insert the lower slot
over the bushing on the hinge bracket (both sides).
You may need press on the grill to get the tab over
the bushing (this prevents the grill from
accidentally falling off).
Swing the grill upwards to engage the
upper slot. You will need to lift the grill
slightly to get it over the bushing. Once in
place the grill is held in place by gravity.
Lower Grill Installation
Hold the grill at an angle and insert the lower
slot over the bushing on the hinge bracket
(both sides). You may need to press on the
grill to get the tab over the bushing (this
prevents the grill from accidentally falling off).
Bend the end-stop tab
over on both sides. This
allows the grill to swing
forward without
disengaging.
Swing the grill upwards to engage
the upper slot. You will need to lift
the grill slightly to get it over the
bushing. Once in place the grill is
held in place by gravity.

6Insert the hinge pins into the hinges on the door. Hold the doors at a 90° angle to the fireplace and hang the
doors on the hinge brackets (see the illustration below). Swing the doors closed - NOTE: the left door closes
behind the right door.
Hold each door at a 90°angle to the
backing plate and hang in place.
ADJUSTING THE HINGES:
The hinges may be adjusted by bending the
tabs to the left or right. This allows the doors
to be aligned left or right, top to bottom.
NOTE: place a rag over the hinge posts before
grasping the hinge posts with pliers to prevent
scratching.
NOTE FOR INSTALLATIONS WITH THICK FACINGS (e.g.: BRICK, ROCK): The hinge pins can be slid into
place after the doors are aligned over the hinge brackets. This eliminates the need to "drop" the doors into
place.
7Magnets are shipped attached to the doors. Position the magnets on the back side of both doors as shown
below. The magnets have felt attached to one side – make sure the felt side contacts the fireplace (this
keeps the magnets adhered to the door, not the fireplace). Attach the handles as shown below.
NOTE:The magnets are shipped attached to the doors. These powerful magnets may require pliers to
properly position. Take care with the magnets to prevent damage and keep them away from
children.
Attach the door handles as
shown to the left. The tree
of life handles require a
washer and screw, the
bungalow requires two
screws.
Confirm that the magnets are in these
locations (with the felt facing up). These
magnets attach to the doors and help
keep the doors shut when in use.
