First off, once installed this is a great way to upgrade the look and functionality of your fireplace. Having glass doors that form a tight seal over the opening can save you a lot of energy -once the fire has been reduced to smoldering embers, you can close the doors and leave the flue open and you won't lose very much heat through the chimney.
The thing that I worried about the most when I was looking at these was the installation -I didn't want to have to drill into brick if I was going to do it myself. I decided to take a chance, figuring I'd return it if it wasn't compatible with my fireplace. The installation wasn't as easy as it could be, but was by no means difficult. The easiest method, which involves no drilling, only applies if your lintel bar (the bar that runs along the top of the opening to the fireplace) is between 2" and 3" wide (for the Small size specifically -I'm not sure about the Medium and Large sizes of this product). If it's within that range, you can use the clamps to fasten it to the fireplace, and won't need to do any drilling. In my case, it was narrower than 2", so I had to drill two 7/32" holes into the metal lintel bar, then use the thread-cutting screws to fasten the fireplace cover to the top. As luck would have it, I overtightened one of the screws and it snapped, so I had to run to the local hardware store to buy a replacement.
In the end, it wasn't very difficult and it looks great.

The unit is very easy to install. It is excellent for drafts. It is also very attractive. Doors and screen operate well. Excellent quality. It is a bit darker than the picture if that matters to you.Best Deals for Pleasant Hearth EN-5500 Pleasant Hearth Enfield Glass Firescreen
Well-made solid piece. The cabinet-style doors are a great improvement over my old bi-fold doors. I really like that the mesh screens also open like cabinet doors rather than sliding on a track. The burnished bronze color is exactly what I was looking for it isn't gold or shiny, instead it is matte brown. It took me about an hour to install by myself; someone who is handier than me will have an even easier time. I'm very pleased!Honest reviews on Pleasant Hearth EN-5500 Pleasant Hearth Enfield Glass Firescreen
During a remodel of our den, we wanted to upgrade our tired, onced polished, now tarnished brass fire place doors. We saw a display at Home Depot for these screens, but they would have to special order the Enfield burnished bronze model-estimated delivery time 14-20 days. Went home and ordered this model from AMAZON, saved $60 and it was waiting for me on my doorstep 4 days later. We were sold on the quality when we saw it at HD, but getting it installed (which was a snap) and firing up the gas logs, the screen really made the room. Highly reccommend this screen and as usual, AMAZON came through with flying colors!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Pleasant Hearth EN-5500 Pleasant Hearth Enfield Glass Firescreen
