I have a pair of heavy duty cutting shears, so I’ll attempt to trim the screen down widthwise….
We’ll see how this works…

Ok… This worked…. I’ve learned by trusty old Made in USA Dremel is a miracle worker. I sheared off the screen rods to size, and used the cutter bit to trim down the screen length… Then I dremeled a few holes into the steel frame, and used my rivet gun and a few rivets to hold a few brackets in place…. Perfect fit, and necessary for fireplace safety…. I’ll post pix when I get back to the place tomorrow.
Side note: I have two white ceiling fans (Home Depot Hampton Bay) that I removed… I guess they are suppose to work, except someone lost the remote to the fans, and I couldn’t find a replacement remote that works. So I removed the fans and replaced the ceiling outlet with a hardwired smoke detector and a CO2 detector…Guess whoever will have to use floor lamps plugged into the wall….
Anyway, if anyone has any use for these as parts or what have you, free to anyone that wants to pickup and tinker with them…
