Default Propane fireplace pilot question

My propane fireplace has a battery operated wall unit that controls the pilot. Right now (summer) the batteries are dead, and the pilot isn't lit. I was planning to clean the glass screen, and started to wonder if the propane is off and if it's safe to open the unit. Can someone help? Thanks!


It should be off and safe, but to be sure, turn off the valve on the
tank or the feed line to the fireplace.
