The fireplace window in our house has been slowly deteriorating. When I took out the grate a burning log fell and scorched the plating. I painted the worst of that black to disguise it. The hardware has also become loose and worn, and the doors were falling out easily. One day the door dropped when I wasn't around. The toughened glass shattered, and there was little hope of repair, and little point since the hardware might cause the glass to break again. 
A new one came up on Freecycle, a little smaller, and it actually fits better, looks a whole lot better, and even works. Now we're ready for winter with glass doors to keep the smoke going up the chimney, and to keep the furnace heat from going up with it.
