Majestic Ashland 36 Fireplace Doors — Custom Doors for the ASH36
Fireplace Doors for the Majestic Ashland 36
The Ashland 36 is Majestic's current open wood-burning fireplace — a deliberately old-fashioned idea built with modern zero-clearance construction. Its defining feature is the opening: Majestic's architect guide lists it at 36 inches wide by 38 inches tall. Read that again — taller than it is wide. That cathedral proportion is what gives the Ashland its open-hearth character, and it is also why buying a door for one is nothing like buying a door for a typical prefab. Stock prefab doors are made for wide, low openings around 20 to 24 inches tall. Nothing on a shelf is shaped like an Ashland.
No factory glass door — by design
Majestic's own specification sheet for the ASH36 lists mesh and outdoor-air accessories, but no glass door kit. The Ashland is sold as an open fireplace. That leaves owners who want doors — for the finished look, for keeping conditioned air in the house when the fireplace is idle, or for keeping sparks where they belong — with exactly one good path: a door built to the measured opening. This is that path.
Confirm the model first
The rating plate inside the firebox reads ASH36; the 42-inch sibling, the Ashland 42, reads ASH42 and shares the same 38-inch opening height. If the plate is inaccessible behind a finished surround, photograph the fireplace straight-on and let our AI Fireplace Expert identify it — an opening taller than it is wide narrows the field very quickly.
What a proper Ashland door requires
- Built to the measured opening. The published 36 x 38 is the design spec. Your facing, hearth, and installation details decide the final numbers — measure width at three heights and height at three positions, per our measuring guide, and use the smallest figures.
- Inside-fit, prefab-safe mounting. The Ashland is a listed zero-clearance appliance. The door mounts inside the opening without drilling into or modifying the firebox, and without blocking any air passage the listing depends on.
- Structure for the height. A 38-inch-tall glass panel carries real weight. Frames for this opening need proper stiffness so the doors swing true for years, not seasons.
What NOT to do with an Ashland 36
| Don't | Why |
|---|---|
| Burn wood with tempered-glass doors closed | Tempered glass is rated for doors-open radiant use — closed-door firing can shatter it. Ceramic glass is the closed-door conversation. |
| Force a stock 36-inch prefab door into it | Stock doors for 36-inch prefabs are around 21 inches tall. The Ashland's opening is 38 inches tall — no stock door covers it. |
| Use a masonry overlap door | Overlap doors clamp into brick. The Ashland is sheet-metal zero-clearance construction with engineered clearances. |
| Order from the framing dimensions | The framing spec is for carpenters. The door fits the front opening, and only your tape measure confirms it. |
Frequently asked questions
What size door fits the Majestic Ashland 36? The published fireplace opening is 36" wide by 38" tall. Doors for it are built to order against your measured opening.
Does Majestic sell a glass door for the ASH36? The manufacturer's spec sheet for this model lists no glass door accessory. A custom door built to the opening is the available route.
Why put doors on an open fireplace at all? Finished appearance, spark containment with mesh, and keeping room air from escaping up the flue when the fireplace is idle. The fireplace stays an open burner — doors open — whenever you light it with tempered glass.
