Just look for a glass company in your phone book, and tell them
what you're after.

        I believe the glass in a fireplace door is tempered. Did you realize
that? Using regular glass might break when exposed to the reflected heat.

Try this place.

If you really want some glass that is virtually shatterproof for
fireplace doors, use the NeoCeram stuff they sell. I blew out two
sets of fireplace doors (two different places) and found out that
tempered glass doors are not supposed to be closed when there is a
fire (?). Seems a bit odd...

Anyway the NeoCeram stuff is nice, you can put ice on one side and a
blowtorch on the other side and it won't shatter. The down side is it
is pricey! (e.g. two pieces 22"x24" is about $300).

They also sell tempered glass if needed too. No idea on that price.

Good site, good people, they'll customize the glass any way you want
(e.g. holes drilled, finished edges, etc), fast too. I'm sure there
are other places that sell this stuff too.

Good luck!

What possible use would fireglass doors serve if they couldn't be closed while
you have a fire? That is exactly when they should be closed. Possibly they
were sized wrong.
