Elegant Ascot Fireplace Glass Door by Pleasant Hearth - AT-1000

Saratoga JohnnyBSaratoga JohnnyB: I had to adapt some of the install based on my specific fireplace. If you are not very handy, you might want to find a friend or pay someone who is. My final result is awesome and we are very happy with the product. We also whitewashed our brick and painted the hearth black to match the new doors.

DeeDee: This is a very beautiful and quality set, but if you want to suspend it above the floor, then it’s requires some additional effort.

Shown in the pictures:
I bought some brackets and slightly modified them to fit an existing screw hole left and right of the included lower bar. This enables the door assembly to hang from the opening, i eventually screwed these down into the fire place opening, I also drilled a hole left and right into the fireplace sill, for the upper brackets to screw into, and won’t slip out.

I’m very happy with the end result. I don’t have a fire pan yet, so can’t say how well they work with heat.

Ahmad Elkhatib: Looks great on my fireplace. Good product and easy to assemble. Only thing that I noticed is the doors were not aligned as expected and seems to be a slight build error. It’s not that noticeable and not enough to make me want to return it. Also, I don’t feel like magnet that holds the doors closed is exactly the best design, maybe a latch would be better in the long run.

I would still recommend it because it looks very nice and I feel it’s reasonably priced.

Randy A: Overall I am very happy with this purchase but have not actually had a fire in the fireplace since installing it. The instructions provided were "ok" but I had to resort to YouTube for clarification on some points. This is not unusual for me with many of my do-it-yourself projects.

I have not been able to get the glass doors set perfectly yet and as a result one door is very slightly out of position. Most people probably would not notice this and I will either just adjust to "less than perfect" or make a future attempt to fine tune the adjustment.

The black looks great on our red brick fireplace front from the 1970's and I am glad I made this purchase and upgraded the look and function from our original low quality, plain white set of doors.

I also learned that I should not have been burning wood with the old doors closed. I thought that this was the proper thing to do to keep any smoke out of the room and that the glass doors were intended to allow viewing of the fire. Turns out I was wrong and the doors are to remain open when the fireplace is in use.

The screen provided with this unit is a solid screen that swings out like a door. I think that this...

Mohan Nair: It fit my fireplace perfectly and gave it a very classy look. It was also on sale for 240 when I bought it and its a steal at that price.

RJ: It worked well, (needed to “McGiver” it a little, added some insulation). I like the result, it modernized a tired 50 year old fire place…

Jack the MuleJack the Mule: Wow, I'm glad I got this! We refinished the tile on our 1940's fireplace. Someone put ugly 12" shiny tile over the original tile, so we replaced it with off-white, aged subway tile. I also found the original tiling on the hearth. I tried another style of screen before this one, but it just didn't work. This however is perfect. It sits flush to the tile against the fireplace. You can open the doors in an accordion fashion and still see the fire glowing. If you open the glass doors completely, the closed screen keeps the embers from popping out.

The heat from the fireplace is excellent. We discovered that having this flush feature to the tile surface really helps warm the room. Our previous fireplace door had the hanging screen and glass doors and sat about 2 inches away from the tile...all that business kept the heat out. This is much more efficient.

The other great feature is that I was able to assemble it like butter! If you lay everything out and actually read the instructions and study the diagram, you too can do it! I was impressed how well it is put together and the insulation is made perfectly - fits into the slots just right. Be patient, young...

Deborah BrennanDeborah Brennan: These doors arrived well packed and complete. They do look great, and for the price, good quality. They were fairly easy to install, just make sure you purchase the correct size for your fireplace opening. We have the Small. I agree that it would be nice if you could keep the doors closed while fire is burning, but the glass would have to be tempered, which would increase the price significantly. So....all of you who are complaining about that, do your homework and purchase a product that has that feature....!
We are very pleased with these doors..look sleek and modern...
