I am looking for a Glass Door Fire Screen (need to keep room heat from
going up the chimney when fireplace is not used and when embers are
going out at night). I found Pleasant Hearth Products at Menards and
Lowes. They look well made.

Question: Has anyone had any problems with this supplier's products?
Glass breakage, hinges breaking, etc.

I am undecided as to the model (fold doors vs cabinet style doors). I
am leaning towards cabinet style - less potential problems, however,
they extend out into the room quite a bit more when opened for burning.
Any comments on this are welcome.

No doors I have seen stop drafts unless they are near 1000, and I
looked, that is the dampers job. I settled on a closing chimney top
cap and foamboard with magnetic tape and L channel I screwed into the
fireplace opening.

If you have a prefab fireplace, make sure you purchase doors approved for
that model. On masonry, this is not an issue.
