Our Comments: Doors for prefab fireplaces like yours must have some way to allow airflow into the fireplace so it does not overheat. Below are a few different types of doors that are designed this way and will work with your fireplace.
Fireplace Opening: 32 3/4" W x 21 1/4" H
Note: These mock-ups are not to scale and are meant to help you choose the model of your screen or door, not the finish.

Before:
Affordable Aluminum Doors
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable. These doors will have a gap between the frame and the outer two panes of glass that allows for airflow.
Option #1: Hearth Creations Profile 6 Fireplace Glass Door in Matte Black.
DXF Pattern Doors
These doors have a 3/16" solid steel frame with doors that are available with laser cut patterns. This is a one of a kind design that we made specifically for you. The frame has 1/4" spacers on the back to allow airflow into the fireplace.
Option #2: Hearth Creations DXF-173 Custom Pattern Cabinet Door in Oil Rubbed Bronze.
High End Hand Crafted Solid Brass
These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.
Option #3: Stone Manufacturing HYBRID-2 Solid Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Weathered Brass. This door has no frame on the sides, which allows air to flow between the glass and the tile.
Option #4: Stone Manufacturing SD Solid Brass Sliding Fireplace Door in Hardwood Bronze. This door has 2 fixed panes of glass on the right and left sides and 2 sliding panes in the center. 1/4" spacers are added to the back of the frame to allow airflow.
Option #4: Example of Sliding Door in customers home.

Mesh & Insulation Options
The Mesh options are behind the glass so you can burn the fire with the doors open and still have spark protection. Great for real wood or gas logs since most gas long manufacturers insist that you have a screen in front of the logs when they are burning. Mesh panel doors are the most popular and are best for when there are toddlers present because they will not open backwards whereas the mesh screens are easily pushed in. Insulation goes between the back of the frame and the fireplace facing, providing a better seal.
Black Mesh Curtains - These slide back and forth on a rod behind the glass
Gate Mesh Doors - These are separate doors behind the glass that have a flat wire mesh and a black frame.
Insulation: Provides a better seal between the fireplace face and the door frame.
