36" Fireplace Glass Door Set To Fit Majestic Unit

I installed this on a Majestic MBU36 from 1994. I had planned to use the existing frames, but they wouldn't work since the new doors were taller than the old doors. The door width was the same. I installed the supplied rails, which were smaller than the originals. Meaning the front piece of metal that "hides" the door glide was shorter so the new doors would fit in the opening. It was easy to install the new rails. The issue came when I installed the doors. First when I tried to install the doors with the medium sized pin that was already installed on the door, the door pin would not clear the screws holding the frame and door hinge pin. So, I used the shorter pin. But when I did that, the top door glide wouldn't stay in the frame. It was a bit too short, so, the door kept coming out of the track. Finally, I used the medium door pin in the bottom of the door with the handle and got it to work ok. It doesn't slide great, but it works ok. It looks much better than the original. Getting them aligned properly was a bit of a pain, but not awful. Bottom line, if you buy these, expect that the install might be a bit of a pain, but they look good.

When you first get it, understand that the hinges on both sides and top and bottom are adjustable with the wrench. In hindsight, I would have made sure all the hinges are equidistance from the end of the glass frames before I slid them in the track. I had to take the doors off, readjust the hinges (pins) and reinstall. After I did that, they fit very well, operate well enough, are level, and look good. I did bind the doors between the track and the actual fireplace when I was trying to adjust the hinge pins when they are in the tracks. Better to do it off and then just adjust for level when you have them installed. This was installed on a Majestic MBU36I. Even though I have a majestic fireplace, there were already holes in it to install the track (I was not looking forward to drilling). The video address included in instructions is not correct, but just search for it, its there and up for this unit. It would be VERY helpful, if some video or better instruction were given for adjusting the doors. All in all, a good product that just needs a little bit better instructions.

I have a 30 year old Majestic MBUC36 fireplace that I bought these doors for. In the end they look great. However, unless you have above average mechanical skills I would not recommend you to try and put these on this particular model fireplace. I can't speak to the other models listed. The rails that you must attach to this fireplace model was what caused the difficulty. I tried installing the rails different ways and eventually had to modify one of the rails (remove the spacers on the lower rail) to be able to get the doors fit. In the end as I said they look great but they took more time than they should and was not easy.

I also have a MBU36 fireplace from 1997. I installed these doors and they worked great. I had to drill 4 holes to install the rails, top and bottom. Took longer than expected because my drill bit was dull and my drill battery died. But the actual work was simple. One adjustment to slide the top rail directly over the bottom rail and the doors lined up perfectly. One suggestion, drill your holes in the slots. It makes the alignment adjustment very easy. For the price I think it was a great value.

The item came without directions. The seller sent a video on how to install the doors. With the video it took about 20 minutes to install. Looks great and works with no adjustments need to the doors.

Install took a little elbow grease as my 30 year old fireplace was bent/warped in a few spots. Overall, you can't beat the price compared to OEM glass doors. Also, SUPER fast shipping. ETA said 1-2 weeks, it arrived in 2 days.

Installed on a MBUC36 Magestic fireplace. Took a little bit of work to get the doors to slide into the track as the fit was pretty tight. However, all said and done it was a fairly simple install process with minimal swearing on my part (my typical scale for install difficulty). There are certainly fancier fireplace doors to buy but for the price this is hard to beat.

They look nice installed, but clearly where not designed to work well with my fireplace. The door stoppers are just too short to stay in the track, and when you use one of the supplied extenders the stoppers become too tall. I had to modify it using supplies I had at home to get it to work well, but it's still not 100% fixed. I'm keeping it because the price is so low and it looks fine when not being opened or closed, so it's not worth returning for the 5 fires we have in the winter.
