Czech term

komínová dvířka

Czech to English Tech/Engineering Manufacturing
Původně zde byly vyráběny kočárky, bicykly, hračky, komínová dvířka apod. V roce 1917 z tohoto malého podnika vznikla firma ....

I'm doubtful about "chimney doors" and wonder whether these should be called "stove doors" or "fireplace doors".

Discussion

Dylan Edwards (asker) Sep 8, 2014:
OK. I've seen more pictures of them now, and I see that they are set into the chimney, not necessarily anywhere near the fireplace.
In catalogues, I find descriptions such as this:
"Komínová dvířka zinkovaná malá - používáme je jako spodní vybírací dvířka."
It seems there can be lower and upper ones.

Komínová dvířka
Dvířka se umisťují na komínové těleso v místě dvířkové tvarovky a slouží
k čištění a provádění revizí komínu. Dovnitř dvířek – na dvířkovou tvarovku se
osadí kontrolní uzávěr.
Na jejich vnitřní stranu nalepí revizní technik štítek CE s údaji o komínovém
tělese. Do tohoto štítku se zaznamenávají veškeré provedené kontroly a revize.

Note to self: for future reference dvířka revizní - inspection door; dvířka popelníková/popelníku - soot door; krbová dvířka - fireplace door; vymetací dvířka - cleanout door; komínová dvířka - ?
Stuart Hoskins Sep 8, 2014:
looks like some kind of access hatch.
Dylan Edwards (asker) Sep 8, 2014:
A shutter to shut off the chimney itself, to prevent soot from falling down into the fireplace, can be called a "soot door" or "chimney door".
This doesn't correspond to the pictures of "komínová dvířka" that I've seen.

fireplace doors

Note from asker:
The trouble with a lot of the Czech pictures is that they don't show the doors in their setting, but if you scroll down a bit you'll see one of them set into a brick chimney, one at the bottom of some stairs, and so on.

Note from asker:
Thank you. This would be an option too. It seems to be mainly a US term.
