Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION:
Remove Cabinet Mesh Screens from the enclosure by lifting up on the hinge side. Set the screens aside in a safe place.
○
If Hanging Mesh was ordered see instructions on
Page 4
. Install the Hanging Mesh before installing the enclosure.
Assemble two Lintel Clamps by threading an adjusting nut
(F)
onto each 6” long threaded bolt
(G)
, add a flat washer
(E)
,
and then the Lintel Bracket
(H)
.
(Figure 1)
Thread the bolts into the 1/4-20 holes in the horizontal leg of the enclosure top corner brackets. Don’t over-tighten.
Start Pressure Screws
(D)
into two L-Brackets
(I)
. Use the 1/4-20 x
⅜
” machine screws
(A)
to secure the L-Brackets into
the holes tapped in the horizontal legs of the enclosure corner brackets.
(Figure 2)
Alternate Method:
Track nuts
(C)
are provided to allow mounting the Lintel Clamps and/or Bottom Brackets in another
location on the enclosure frame if there are obstructions to the standard corner mounting position.
PLEASE NOTE:
Your Aluminum Fireplace Enclosure must be installed and adjusted correctly.
Misalignment of the enclosure frame can cause improper latching of the glass doors, glass breakage, and/or improper
operation. Please read and follow the installation instructions carefully. If you do not feel confident that you are
equipped to complete the installation properly please contact FDO or arrange professional installation.
New masonry fireplaces must be cleaned and allowed to cure thoroughly before any fireplace enclosure is installed.
Failure to “cure” the mortar properly may damage the enclosure finish. This type of damage is not covered by warranty.
If you have questions:
Please contact Fireplace Doors Online before proceeding with installation.

Center the Fireplace Enclosure in the fireplace opening and fit insulation
between the frame and the fireplace for a better seal.
Rotate the Lintel Clamps up toward the top of the fireplace to grip the
fireplace lintel and snug down the adjusting nuts. Don’t over-tighten.
Slide the bottom L-Brackets out to the sides of the fireplace and tighten.
Tighten the Pressure Screws on each side evenly to hold the bottom of
the Fireplace Enclosure securely. Don’t over-tighten.
(Figure 3)
○
Do not force the bottom of the frame to the fireplace.
See Below.
Replace the Cabinet Mesh Screens if so equipped.
Alternate Method:
Secure L-Brackets to the fireplace with lag bolts and
masonry inserts (not included). Flat Brackets
(J)
are included to move the
attaching point further into the fireplace if necessary. Use 1/4-20 x ¼” Ma-
chine Screw
(B)
to attach the Flat Brackets to the L-Brackets.
(Figure 4)
IMPORTANT:
Check that the Glass Doors in the enclosure are aligned properly.
If the Glass Doors do not close properly, or do not lay flat against the frame, the frame is most likely twisted.
NOTE:
It is not unusual to find that a masonry fireplace face is not perfectly flat, plumb, level, or that the opening is not
perfectly square. Do not force the enclosure frame to conform to a fireplace that is not plumb or level.
The most common adjustment is accomplished by loosening the attaching hardware on the side of the frame opposite
the glass door that is away from the frame. Move the bottom corner of the frame out until the doors line up properly. Re-
tighten the pressure screw (s). Any resulting gap can be filled with extra insulation.
