Help with a fireplace insert

last year

I have a fireplace insert. It circulates room air through a channel system through the fireplace returning heated air to my home. Works well but I need some repairs. There is no branding and wonder if anyone can identify the manufacter from these photos ? The door handles are loose and there is some sheet metal attached to the glass which is riveted. I may have to drill out the rivets to gain access to the handles and tighted the screws. I also have to replace a pin on the bottom of the glass door which is missing.

Are these glass doors availalbe forurchase of is there nyone who does these repairs ?

Kind regards

That’s an old one, for sure. I don’t have a clue as to the model but from your repair list it seems purchasing a newer unit would be the better option. If the price for new is a deterrent, then maybe you could find something on FB Marketplace. I’ve seen perfectly good Buckstove inserts offered free because the homeowner is no longer interested in burning wood.

Appreciate your comment. Since it still works would like to keep using it as long as possible.

Attached find more phots of the sheet metal support for the door handles ( rivets versus screws) and a detial of the missing door hinge pin.

The glass doors and brass frame that holds them has nothing to do with the heat exchanger, they are two separate items and brands. Time to replace those doors and upgrade to something that is better made and looks nicer. I don't believe those doors were actually designed to be burned closed, so you may want to consider doors with ceramic glass that are made specifically for that purpose.

Here's a link to more info about this: Fireplace Doors with Ceramic Glass

If you click on the link for "Free Fireplace Design Service" on that page and send me the appropriate pictures, I will be able to create some mockups to show you how new doors will look on your fireplace.
