Great job from initial contact to final install. I was able to install them in about 30 minutes, and I was taking my time. Would not hesitate to recommend this company!!!Rob R. · Legend · verified purchase · Loox
Flawless fit, super high quality product. I was hesitant about making the purchase sight unseen off the internet. Submitted a few question and James replied via email and a few phone calls to walk me through the options. Couldn't be happier with the result. Thank you, JJason B. · Stiletto · verified purchase · Loox
Flawless installation. The improved mounting bracket was even easier to install (this is my second fireplace door). I recommend adding stove gasket tape around the perimeter to make a better seal for this type of mount. Overall, it looks great and is super solid. I've had the door on my other fireplace for years and it's still in great shape.Jim B. · Carolina Window Pane · verified purchase · Loox
We have been searching, for some time, for new fireplace doors for our zero clearance fireplace. Exceptional Fire had several styles that appealed to us so I contacted them. After going through a stringent measuring process and making decisions on style and color and sending them photos of our existing fireplace doors, Daniel sent back photos with their doors on our fireplace. It was expertly done and served to clearly show our choices in our home. We were so pleased with the look and with the seasonal discount pricing, we ordered the doors. Daniel was very patient as I peppered him with questions about fit and installation. As a retired building contractor, I tend to be picky about projects, especially when others are doing the work. I seriously could not be more pleased with the fit. As seen in the photos, we have a tile surround and this unit fits so exactly one would think I set the tile after it was installed rather than the other way around. I was kept informed on progress of our order and it arrived on time with no damage. All the required installation parts and instructions were included and it took no more than 15 minutes to install. I needed to make some minor adjustments to the doors, because I AM picky, and those adjustments were quick and easily accomplished. I will recommend Exceptional Fire to anyone who asks about these new doors. If you are in the market, the choices, measurements and photos are very helpful and Daniel can get an accurate price to you quickly. Thank you Exceptional Fire for adding to the beauty of our home.Greg S. · Craftsman · verified purchase · Loox
Perfect! The fireplace doors fit perfectly based on our measurements. The product is exactly as we saw on the website. What arrived was better than expected. Can’t say enough about the product.Hannah D. · Cabot · verified purchase · Loox
I picked out the one I liked. I chatted with customer service quickly online, sharing a photo of my fireplace and felt assured I was ordering cover that would work. Our contractors easily installed and I’m so pleased. Waiting on winter to see the doors in action.Kelly B. · Finley Flat Black Masonry Fireplace Door | Standard · verified purchase · Loox
Ordered “custom” fireplace doors in late February and received then in mid March - great turnaround time! They fit like a glove and were a “snap” to install. Getting plenty of compliments on how great they fit and the appearance. Buy with confidence!

The ordering process couldn’t easier. I spoke with Daniel at ExceptionalFire over the phone. I sent the measurements and some pictures of my fireplace, within a short time he sent his recommendation on what fireplace doors would work best. With the guarantee the doors will fit I placed the order with the options I wanted. I have an odd fireplace and I admit I was skeptical. The doors arrived about 3 weeks later and to my surprise they fit. They are beautiful and I couldn’t be happier. Would I recommend ExceptionalFire I most definitely will and already have. Thank you Daniel for making this process so easy. DonnaDonna C. · Brookfield · verified purchase · Loox
Being a Rumford fireplace with a large opening, it is impossible to find prefab doors to fit. These custom doors from Exceptional Fire are perfect! This model is the Piccolo. With accurate measurements the fit is perfect and easy to install. The customer service from Exceptional Fire is second to none. Communication was great. We sent before pictures of the fireplace, and they sent back mockups of different selected doors on our fireplace. Shipping was fast considering they are made to order. We are very happy with our new fireplace doors from Exceptional Fire! I would say they are exceptional!Mark T. · Piccolo · verified purchase · Loox
Excellent service from the manufacturer. They contacted me when they received my order to make sure everything was correct. Delivery was on time with no damage. I’m extremely happy with the end result! Highly recommend!Alison B. · Rainbow Fireplace Glass Doors | Custom Prefab Fit · verified purchase · Loox
Bea was wonderful from initial phone inquiry to helping finalize the purchase. She helped me identify the Carolina Masonry Fireplace insert as the correct one to seal out drafts. She helped me measure and kept me up to date on the production. It arrived in wonderful condition and installation went very smoothly. Thank you for a wonderful experience!Gordon O. · Carolina · verified purchase · Loox
My ancient fireplace is no longer made so I had to have custom doors made-I wasn't supe thrilled about that. Exceptional Fire lives up to their name-in fact, I don't think the name sings their praises enough. The process was super simple and Robert was so helpful (I am the QUEEN of stupid questions-he even took the time to answer my questions about replacing the existing burner with an H burner so I can switch to using fire glass). He went through the various options and I sent my measurements. Daniel sent me the mockups and I made my selection. From there it was just the waiting game-and I didn't have to wait long! I love my new doors and I cannot wait to use my fireplace!Susan S. · Brookfield · verified purchase · Loox
A quality product that looks great and functions nicely. I sent photos and dimensions of my fireplace opening with the order and the factory modified the plates a bit to insure a good fit over and around the opening. Instructions were easy to follow. My only complaint is that not enough insulation was provided, but you can use any mineral wool type insulation from stores like Home Depot. Be advised that if you have a standard sized brick fireplace, the install should be much simpler than it was for my custom stone fireplace. I had to drill a couple of holes, modify the connection hardware and add some thicker insulation to insure a proper seal . The doors are heavy and you mighr consider removing before the install. They are a bit tricky to re-install and adjust. It took a few hours but well worth the time. We love the new look.Robert G. · Camden Natural Iron Masonry Fireplace Door | Standard Sizes | Sale · verified purchase · Loox
I started my search by sending them a picture of my original outdated piece. They responded immediately and told me what I had and what I'd need. Zero clearance model. I then ordered my custom piece. Very good communication. It arrived in flawless condition and fits like a glove! Very easy to install with the tension screws. Obvious high quality.

I’m a property manager and I have one dwelling that has a wood-burning fireplace and this was a perfect replacement for the old one! The material is durable. The doors are actually magnetic, which is brilliant! I think the future tenants are gonna love it!Judy R. · Ardmore Flat Black Masonry Fireplace Door | Durable Design · verified purchase · Loox
Shopped and placed my order online. Had a call shortly after submitting to confirm dimensions and details. Traded a few emails over the next few days to make sure that we had the right dimensions for our prefab firebox. Final email exchange on 1/16. Door delivered Feb 4. Perfect fit and installed simply by tightening 4 screws.Adam S. · Legend · verified purchase · Loox
I sent in the measurements of my fireplace opening and it fits perfectly. It was delivered a few days earlier than advertised. It’s Very well made and sturdy; this is a high-quality product. Installation took around 15 minutes. I’m extremely happy with the product and the service. You get what you pay for.Robert C. · Carolina · verified purchase · Loox
Our fireplace doors arrived quickly and well packed. They were easy to install- we watched the video linked on the instructions. I do wish the upper bracket that holds the frame to the fireplace was a bit longer (the part where the bolt screws in) because the inside of our fireplace is bent on one side which kept the bracket from fitting correctly. More length would have allowed us to get above the bend. This isn’t an issue with the fireplace door design, but a problem with our fireplace. We did do a work around which we think will hold. Overall, I love the doors. They open and close well, look nice and they definitely have lessened the air flow coming from the fireplace opening. Happy customers!Rebecca M. · Ardmore Flat Black Masonry Fireplace Door | Durable Design · verified purchase · Loox
The finished product installed is excellent in looks and the way they work. I would have liked the option to have the C channel that holds the glass to be finished. The installation was very challenging, the brackets and threaded studs never lined up and could not be used. I had to make a bracket to get the doors installed. Do you have touch up paint available for a small spot?Timothy M. · Brookfield · verified purchase · Loox
I ordered these new doors online and sent the measurements in and the fit was perfect. Moreover, the installation was a breeze. Hardest part was drilling into the masonry but all in all got it installed in less than an hour.Wendelin M. · Reflection · verified purchase · Loox
We are very impressed with your website! We bought these doors about 30% cheaper than any other site advertised and received them in only 3 weeks! And your representative was very polite, efficient, and knowledgeable. The doors are beautiful, exactly as advertised, and were made perfectly to the dimensions we provided. We loved our experience with your company! Thank you!Gary F. · DeepSet · verified purchase · Loox
Love the Doors, and I also added the additional screens for behind the glass doors. I have not installed the unit yet as I have not had the time. but I will be doing so very soon. Thanks for the great product.Charles K. · Brookfield · verified purchase · Loox
We ordered a flush fireplace glass door with screens. We sent along the measurements and a photograph. It arrived quickly and is perfect. The fit is excellent, the product is easy to install, and it’s beautiful. Exactly what we wanted. Follow up and customer service from this company is excellent.

Questions
Simple: book an appointment — that's the only step you need to figure out. Your fireplace expert comes to your home, measures everything himself, checks what your firebox actually needs and answers every question on the spot. You get an honest recommendation and an exact quote, your doors or gas logs are custom-built to those measurements, and he returns to install and test everything. One specialist, start to finish — never a subcontractor.
No. You don't need to know models, sizes, or whether your fireplace is masonry or prefab. A photo or two helps with preparation, but it's optional — everything is measured and analyzed properly at the appointment. That's what the visit is for.
Most budget stock doors are thin-gauge aluminum — light frames, limited sizes, and they don't age well next to real fire. Custom doors are built from heavy-gauge steel: rigid frames, precise custom fit, better heat tolerance and premium finishes. At the visit your specialist shows you both and tells you honestly which one your fireplace needs — sometimes a well-fitted stock door is the right answer.
Doors: dozens of frame finishes, glass tints, mesh styles, handles, inside-fit or overlap-fit, standard, arched and corner L-shape fireplaces. Gas logs: vented or vent-free, natural gas or propane, multiple sizes and log styles. You choose everything at the appointment — with real samples and photos of installed projects, not guesswork.
Yes. When the owner measures your fireplace himself, the fit is his responsibility — doors built to those numbers are covered by the Perfect Fit Guarantee. And every installation is backed by his personal workmanship guarantee: if something isn't right, he comes back and makes it right.
Yes — when they're sized and installed correctly, which is exactly why one specialist should handle it. Every gas log installation is leak-checked and burn-tested before the visit ends, and doors are matched to your firebox so the glass, mesh and clearances are right for how you burn. You also get clear guidance on safe operation — like when doors should stay open or closed with a fire going.
